THE POST 'iimimimiKimiiiiniiiiiiiimmiinit'iiHiHtiimiiiimini.ir Latin It is an ancient Latin book, That flunketh one of three.

Carl Harshbarger is here with me and at the same occupation. Henry Shonkwiler is here representing the Western Construction Company on several contracts. I see him occasionally, and Elby was here last week, but he is gone now. I never thought he would be tied up with that big vaudeville company. He’s one of the best they’ve had at the Winter Garden this season.” “But Joe, I simply must order my baggage up to my room at once”—with this I left
