A 'woman may not be able to recall juet when her husband proposed; but she can always remember what dress she had on at the time. One of the -richest families '.n St. Louis ie named Blank. Which furnishee one instance at least in which almost anybody would be perfectly willing to accept "a Blank cheque.—"Youngetown Telegram.' , A newly-invented bed that folds out of sight In the wall is fine, but the real crying need is a bureau that can be moved up to the ceiling every time a collaretud rolls under it. —"Philadelphia Ledger." Daughter seems really to think Nothing but dress Is worth while; Visions of purple and pink, Daughter Is always In stjle. Clothing like this costs a pile. Moneys not easy to pet; Daughter Iβ always In style. Father Is always in debt. —■Tuck."

One man went to business schools, Learned to do each thing by book, Another never studied rules, Wh-at he liked ho went and took. The first man 3hould iave fallen through. The second knew no work like "fail." The first man now ie in "'Who's Who." The second man—oh, he's in guol. —"Philadelphia Ledger." Why not put the Government under Government control?
