How Is It With You ?
Life must bc rather a sad old
' game after ' all. Four nun in
middle life were seated in the
smoking room of a Pullman the
i other night. Each was stranger -
er to the others. One looked up
from a magazine : he was reading
and said , "herc is a fellow who
.
says his misfortunes have been a
blessing to him I can't say that
and I think I have had mysharc , "
"So have I , " 'said the second with
a faint smilc. "And I , " added
.thc third. The fourth raised his
hand to his head with a gesture
of weariness and looked out upon
thc flying earth white with the
snow and moonlight. The snow
was dirty , for it was getting old ,
but the man made 110 re-ply.

the local company and again has
failed. How long thc citizens ! of
this city will permit this fran-
chisc ordinance "to remain in

friends the farmers remain to be
seen. Will sonic one give one
good reason why the local com-
P:1I1Y. : the Bell company and thc
Intcr-state company should bc
given rights in this city that arc
dcnicd such men as constitute thc
Preston Mutual Telephone Co ?
