Thirty months ago Mrs. Allen gave birth tp twins. Twelve months later another pair of twins came to the Allen home and now a third set of twins are on hand.

One divorce for every six marriages is the condition confronting present day moralists and giving them food for thought. What's the family coming to with this reckless marrying and change about?

General Funston says that a brick layer, a plasterer or a plumber rt 1 celves more pay in San Francisco than an army captain and a hodcarrier more than a second lieuenant.

The new attorney general, James Bingham, declares positively that he will not give legal opinions to any person except the state officials.

Perhaps it is just as well for the officials who come under the ban. The reader of a newspaper who fails to peruse the advertisements from evening to evening will miss enough bargains in things needed to save the subscription price of his par per many times over. When you sit down after supper to read your paper get in the habit of reading the advertisements. It will prove a good investment of your time.

New York has a grievance—that some telephone subscribers have to wait fro mone to five minutes for a reply from central. Imagine a New Yorker having to wait from one to five minutes before he hears the voice of the girl with ear caps asking “What number?” It is preposterous. Os course, it is—preposerous to wait five minutes for central’s reply. But that’s not all. The lady with the ear caps doesn’t always ask “What number?" Half the time, from force of habit, she just say, “Busy," and rings off. That’s what hurts.
