CARD OF THANKS.

£j- - Mr*' - —-y r : ... As I draw myself up this (bright August morning- prepared to gush forth in a perfect torren of thankfulness, the thought occurs to me that words are so expressionless and that anything I may say may fail to convoy (to the dear render the real feelings imbedded deep within my soul. My vocabulary is so simple and limited that I kndw it is next to useless for me to attempt to thank those who so kindly assisted me during the knocking off stunt of my late lamented Nancy. Bow your head, gentle reader, as I ‘let loose a wash tub ful of tears. Soane bird chirped a mugfull when he uttered these all too true words: “The world will little note or long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what we do here.” The same apphes to me. 1 can talk a yard stick full here and still not say anything. But what I do want to do is /to thank the public for the words of sympathy and condolence with which they showered me since my recent bereavement. My heart is full and my gratitude knows no bounds and I want you to accept my sincerest thanks as readily as a holbo accepts a free ride. Nancy was so patient, so persevering, so kind and gentle, so pure and sweet, so everything, that her turning up her toes while stall on the sunnyside of thirty overwhelms me. Her unswerving loyalty will however remain fresh, within my memory. Even in my slumbers X can hear her pitiful bleats as she chug-chugs her way down the avenue to auto haven and the bleats will forever 'beat fresh on my ear drums. The last rites will be held over the remains at the late spot on ■College avenue at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon with William Traub wearing the toga and Sam Karnowsky furnishing the free ride for the departed Nancy. Everyone invited. .... T . Yours for sport, HERMAN B. TUTETJR. Dry cleaning a speciality.
