to? whether to be acknowledged be

am disposed to think of him as more

In himself a full answer to the cry of
the modern spirit for expression. This

A Warm Bath.
? young man went into a restaurant
and ordered roast beef, coffee and
rolls. In a few minutes a trim little
waitress tripped up with the order.
As she turned to leave the young man
discovered that the meat was about as
cold as a refrigerator.
"I don't care for cold beef." he said.
"1 should like to have it hot"
The young woman took the plat and.
going to the dumbwaiter shaft, shouted
down: "Hortense. I want this meat
hot Pour some warm gravy on lt."

At that time the coin of the realm

money changers, to change his shillings
