Going the Rounds Tomorrow is Washington's birthday. *** Have you ordered your spring suit yet? *** When they say a man is law-abiding, it isn't saying much these days. *** Some people we know are very easily shocked; but they seem to enjoy the sensa- tion pretty well. ~ * The Annual Report of the Eastern State Penitentiary will be ready for distribution within a few days. *** Have you ever considered that a jury some- times agrees in order to smoke up and enjoy a little needed rest? *** Did you ever notice the pleasant expression that plays across the face of the man who sweeps the walks? *** -It is true that when a fellow has some knocking to do he is sure to find plenty of others who are ready to help. " It is somewhat surprising to note the number of winter lovers that have been hanging around the radiators for the past week. * * * It is announced at Germany has issued new coins made of aluminum. ยท The first to be put in circulation since the one pfennig piece. *** When a man of the outer world goes into are a resstaurant these days and orders two eggs, nearly everbody turns around to see if he has a diamond pin, to ''make good. * *** An inmate recently remarked that he "was always able to attract attention at any stage in the game." "yes," remarked a bystander, "no doubt that's the reason you're now here." *** It's a measly fellow who asks for a pipe of tobacco from a friend, and after getting much more than asked for, turns to another and remarks, that "the chump's a regular miser with his weed."
