He knows all the crooks, he knows afl' the rooks: - He knows all the bad roads, he knows all’ the nooks; - He knows all our sorrows, he knows all our joys, He knows all the girls who are, chas- ing the boys; ‘He knows all our troubles, he knows alt ‘our strife He knows every man who ducks out " from his wife: : If the taxicab driver told half what he knows .He would turn'all out friends into bitterest foes; : He would sow a small wind that would soon be a gale, Engulf.us in trouble and land us in Jail: He woulq start 'ntp a story which, gaining in force Wauld. cause " half our wives to sue for divorce.” 7 He would get all our homes mixed up in a éi_ght, And turn our bright days into sor- rowing night.

ONLY FEW/DAYS MORE OF DICTIONARY OFFER A word is the symbol of an idea. One may have the most original and forceful ideas—but without words' to express them, they are utterly value- Jess. It might be said that there are o new ideas under the sun. ' In the earlivst recorded ‘writings -from the Sanskrit, the Chinese, the Hebrew, the Greek or the Latin tongues, we find the-same thought again and again. It is the’ expression only, that varies. Each age, each nation must evolve its own form of expression, or sym- bolism in its literary art. 3 The universal mind in this way frees itself by’ the individual genius which has caught its meaning. Thus wordq may be said to be the tools of thought. Word stidy therefore, is one of the ‘most important elements & education. - And .the dictionary which gives the derivation, thedif- ferent shades of meaning, the trans- ition -in ‘modes of spelling; in short, the history of the word, is the onel' indispensable workshop for the work- er in words. Among all the eras of dictionary making, the present excels. And there. is_no excuse for anyone not to possess a valuable dictionary. now being distributed ‘by . this paper, is easily chief among the dictionaries of it class, Our distribution has been wide and‘far,reaching..
