IONE LAWRANCE J. J. JONES. “Sorry, Old Man, Dale A. said as he got out of the taxi, I haven’t got a cent. That s a fact. You can’t get blood out of a stone you know.” “No? said the driver as he rolled up his sleeves. What makes you think you are a stone?” The following is the reply of a fond father, who had just received a letter from his son, a student in his own alma mater: “My dear son—Accept my heartiest congratulations. I was engaged to the same Miss Bunter when I was in college, and can appreciate the fun you are having. Go it while you are young. Your loving father.” Cummins CRew Dry Goods and Shoes Rhode’s barber Shop The Old {(‘liable Frank C.
