If I were a daughter [of Eve And wanted to work, I believe I'd learn to write shorthand, and type, And then, when they said I was ripe, I'd go to soma office and there Watch the boss going up in the air Because I had spelled it "'repare" Or left out an "e" in '"receeve." I'd love to spend all I had made On clothes of the most recent shade; On fancy shoes, garters, and hose, On undies and such things as those Until, as I walked by, they'd say: "Gee, pipe our dear Mabel today!" Advertising like that ought to pay And make me a popular maid. Yes, were I a girl, it's a fact That that is about how I'd act; That is, were I beautiful, oui! But IF I were homely, oh gee! I'd see that I knew how to spell; That I fook down dictation real well; That I ran the typewriter like-sixty, And never-- (from chewing gum) -- smacked! Made Use Of Tt.

Charles Lane Milner, recently a visitor to England, sent us a number of interesting incidents that actually took place in different English courts. Some hardly seem true -- but there is no question that they are faithfully recorded: . . . A Family Affair. Willesden Husband (summoned for maintenance arrears): "if I'm sent to prison for this, the next war will be between me and my wife." . . . Had His Doubts. "I fell in with some Scotchmen, and they gave me too much whis key," exclaimed a man at Lambeth. Magistrate: "Are you quite sure they were Scotchmen?" * . .

LAWRENCE BEING DISMANTLED Once One of the Finest Exour- sion Steamers Running Out of Kingston. The old steamer Sf. Lawrence, mention of which will bring back memories of picnic days and happy moonlight excursions to the grown- up generation, is now in the Davis dry dock, being dismantled. She entered the dock on Monday. The vessel was built in 1883 in Clayton, N.Y., by the Folger Com- |pany and always claimed Kingston as her home, laying up here in the winter time. When she first entered service she was considered a very fast boat and the finest passenger vessel on the river. About six years ago she was purchased by Mr. J. M. Campbell, refitted and used for ex- {cursion purposes in and out of Kingston in the seasons of 1920 and 1921. Repairs proving too costly, it was decided to either rebuild or dis- mantle her, and the latter step was chosen. The work will concern the {upper works and machinery, but the «composite hull may be saved to be fused for ferry boat purposes. COMING TO RE-UNION. Ten Years Since Mr. Thomas Nash + Left This City. In a letter to the Whig, Mr. Tho- mas Nash of Brooklyn, N.Y., a form- ler well-known Kingstonian, states that quite a number from that city will attend the Old Boys' Re-Union in Kingston, as the return railway fare is quite reasonable. It is $21.94 via Clayton, N.Y. : Mr. Nash expects to come to the re-union and is looking forward with great pleasure to meeting his many old friends and acquaintances. It is tem years since he left this city. "Sing Me to Sleep." "My wife is a fine singer. I have known her to hold her aud- fence for hours at a time." "Indeed!" "Yes; after which she would put it in the cradle and rock it to sleep." Teachers James H. Watson, Kenmore, has been engaged as principal of Deloro public school, with Miss S. Blair, Madoc, as assistant teacher. Princi- | pal E. C. Prentice and all his teach- {ing staff have been re-engaged for Marmora public school. Celebrate at Gananoque.
