Tommy : “ When I’m a man I’m going 
to be a soldier.” Mother : “ What! and

“ She is determined to be a musician, 
but can’t decide whether to make a 
specialty of the violin or the piano.” 
“ Has she no positive predilection for 
either?” “Oh, yes; but some of her 
friends think she looks better standing, 
and others that sitting is more becoming 
to her.”— Detroit Iribune.

In these days of rapid transit, 2% miles per 
hour would be called slow, but if the traveler 
was making as lie went along, the most per¬ 
fect, complete, self-regulating wire fence ever 
heard of, it would alter the case. Our factory, 
with its increased capacity, will turn out 
that amount per hour, and as we run 24 hours 
per day in the spring, 64 miles will be the 
daily product. The demand always keeps 
up with t he supply.
