parental nest and among them wa3 one son now who had become wealthy and he wanted to do some thing nice for his old parents back home it was decided to surprise themby building a modern home big enough for two and it was to be a model of comfort mother likes to do her own work and pa likes to tinker around and we cant stop them said the children but well make the work as easy as we can for

was reported from england recently was probably unique a wanderer and an adventurer all his days h would probably never have come be fore the notice of ths public but for tho perspicacity of a south

and in type of ad venture on the west coast and inter ior which it depicted that even ex perienced critics said it must be a work of imagination but trader horn was able to verify a great deal of hi3 detail though he had to rely upon rumor for corrobora tion of his tale about the beautiful white goddess which many people thought he had borrowed from rider haggard he certainly entertained a largo section of the leading public for two or three years and many of his earlier critics came round to be lieve that he was after all largely what he represented himself to he- eminent british authors

well it was bobby burns and he hed up his little legs so cute so they wouldnt drag on the ground and he didnt say a word did you ever see a mamma kitty carry her baby if you didnt youve missed something anyway mamma lady smiled and said let her have it good old topsy shell be satisfied now members of various rambling clubs in london england number somo 200000 lord willingdon in india stephen gwynn in the fortnightly review london it is said of the new viceroy that he is colorblind a great qualification for his for midable task if he can make indians feel that he is without that
