    Mother mentioned at the end of her letter to her daughter:"Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
    The old horse had to be sold as he became wicked. The one that came in his place seemed very quiet and behaved perfectly. Hos owner said: "A new broom sweeps clean."
    Mr. Ryan said he would put another 5/1 on the Racehorse as he was told the horse would win when suddenly he remembered: "He that grasps at too much often loses all."
    John thought it was much pleasenter going to the party than being aboard an Ocean Liner, but his friend told him: Many a bachelorship was wrecked on a permanent wave."
