Well, 'th' boss has gone to the editorial meeting, and I'm the whole cheese here today. Gee, last week I was plannin' on what a good time I have the day the host was gone; but you're still after all, as I'll be so much fun after all.
I intended to swell out my chest and tell the boss all about how he needn't worry one bit while he was away, and try to make him look more like I did that afternoon last summer when he went fashin', but when he handed over the keys and said, "Jim, I'm trusting you for a couple of days to take good care of me," he made sure I was made woman if I wasn't takin' both of responsibility on myself.
Of course, I'm nearly twelve, and have been here long enough to learn lots of things, but what if some big politician would come in and want a good send off next week? I guess I'd just have to let him write up some stuff and leave it for the editor, but I know that he would like it. So I tell it all to the editor, but then let him write it up. Gee, I hope one doesn't come.
My, wouldn't this be a great time to get a letter sayin' I'd been left a million dollars, like that printer's devil did a few weeks ago. I guess bankers and oil menain't the only ones who can be millionaires, cause that's one printers devil that's a millionaire. Wouldn't the boss open his eyes ant' stare when he come back if I was a millionaire.
I wouldn't quit him the, not with thirty days notice anyway, cause he's been mighty good to me, and I wouldn't want to leave him in the hole. An' I'd buy him a new pair of rollers for those I netted behind the stove that day last winter. Good luck! But he's been a little knit, grinned an 'old-me way that he'd done the same thing once when he was a kid.
"I'll bet I wouldn't clean out that old ink fountain though, if I was a millionaire. I'd just tell the boss to throw it away and I buy him a new on every time he needed one. Yeeeah, I'm so lucky." He wipes the towel. Guess, guess I pretty near own the shop if I bought very much more. Goob. I wish I had a million dollars.

IMAGINE a course without profs; without study; without examinations, but with a degree awarded after the first lesson.
That's the Williams' Course in Shaveology. One trial of Williams' Luxury Shaving Cream and you are an M.Sh.-a Master of Shaveology.
No rules to follow. Rub it in or don't rub it in; use lots or little; cold water or hot—it doesn't matter. If your razor is decently sharp and you have Williams' within reach you'll get a shave that you didn't know was possible.
A rich lather—a thick lather—a refreshing lather. And Williams gives instantly a feeling of health and vigor to your skin that no complexion soap can surpass.
Member of First Class Resides In Lawrence
All but three of the girls soon dropped their work, leaving Anne Fuller, now Mrs. Joe Riggs; Susie Savage, now Mrs. Allford; and Mrs. Starrett. There were only three professors at the University, and Oliver was president of the University. William H. Carruth was a member of this class.
When you get back home after the Association session, nothing will be quite so satisfying as to have a complete set of first-hand notes in a durable book. Take your notes yourself and they will be "live." You will have just the points you need and no more.
Mrs. Anna Starrett, living at 1229 Ohio, is a member of the first class of the University. There were just five students and twenty-five women in the class.

Standard Keyboard
- no shifting for fingers
  "If Remington speed and efficiency are to be maintained we must keep the Standard Keyboard." This was the decision of the Remington engineers when they designed the
Remington Portable
—and the result is this wonderfully compacted, individual writing machine, which has the same number of printing keys, same size, and same arrangement, as the standard typewriters—and it is the most compact of all writing machines. Fits in a case only four inches high.
