To begin with Ijcame of excellent ancestry, my grandfather was born forty eight hours ago under a finger nail of a rich duke. He always held a grudge against the duke, however, be- cause the said duke had a bad habit of biting his nails which didn't feel very well to grandpa. Grandfather belonged to a proud race, the Typhoids were al- ways aristocratic, so he wouldn't stand for that, even from the duke, and he let the duke swallow him. Well, you ought to see the duke today. Grandpa died game. You will know by this time that the microbe Life is real, life is earnest and the grave is not its goal. We have to live, all we are going to live is about twenty-four hours. Father is failing fast since I was born afew hours ago, and I see that I will have to hurry if I get my autobio- graphy before old age over takes me this evening. I've never been far from home. Took a short walk yesterday and run into some carbolic acid. Ijust hat.e it. It almost got the best of me. You may wonder how I learnd to write, but this morning I was on a bad boy's hand and went to school. His teacher gave him a writing lesson and I stuck it out till she'd finished. ' It about killed me, however, as it was the whole arm movement the teacher said. I heard thefellow growling about how in the world could they expect a fellow to write decently, when one year he wrote straight up and down, the next just part Way and the next every way. . Imade for homeg cheese is such a comfortable place to live. And I am writing these words that the world may know that we are next to some of these smart doctors and it will he a cold day when they exterminate all of us, for we don't believe in race suicide.

It was assigned to me however, by our good teacher, and you all know what that means. I just had to take it. Webster defines a wedding as follows. Wedding--the act or ceremony whereby man proposes and woman disposes. A wedding is no modern invention. In the time of' King Solomon it took him three years and half to get married to all his wives. Be that as it may, it will be my provice to discuss only modern wed- dings. A modern wedding is a thing of of beauty and joy for a month. Styles change in weddings as in everything else and there are men who beg to just quietly have the preacher a- round and get it over. But they donlt understand that it comes but two or three times in a lifetime and should be accompanied by all the pomp and cere- mony possible. The writer has obtained from valu- able data the following plan of action for the ordeal: First-one must of course be invited to be somebody's wife. That is almost necessary. Secondly-Some One has to or really nought to mention the fact to the father of the contracting girl. Thirdly--If he don't let on like he is mad and try to break up the match, then one considers the matter of setting the day. Most weddings are at night, however. Of course one must try to be marri- ed in June. That is such a romantic month. It is in good taste however, to choose any of the other eleven months, with possibly the exception of March. It is not deemed wise to marry on Christmas as that gives a husband a chance to double up on one's Christ- mas and anniversary presents. fContinued on page 241 ID I' 'll' 'IIUIII' 'll' 'IIUII' Ill' 'IIUII' --. - - E 1 4- ? ?
