Life is real and the grave ain't its goal. “As them old poets used to say, Why should the spirits of mortals be loud? We ought to. do something every day to make other folks happy. Sometimes I feel so happy that I wish somebody else could have part of that happiness. Maybe that's why I keep all the time talking.” “Maybe,” said the Head Barber. “There must be some reason.

"I'd be lonesome.” “That would be tough, George,” said the 1. ‘euqre Lady, “but I won't be think. -about that if 1 get a chance to listen 1o a proposal. I'll be thinking about the quickest way to say yes.” “Marriage is a lottery,” said the Head Barber. “You take a chance.” “When the chance comes, you do,” said the Manicure Lady, “and when my chance comes, Geéorge, [ shall be brave.” il vogue N. the graceful elegance and striking novelties which now stand for the in low shoes is the evident BEST WRITERS IN THE OMAHA GRADE SCHOOLS—Winners in the penmanship contests conducted all over the city.
