Age not guoronteed-Some I hqve lold for 20 yeors-Some Less Rest in Peqce?

A fierce old Spaniard lay dying, and the Padre told him that before his sins could be forgiven, he must forgive all his enemies.

"I haven't got an enemy in the world," said the dying Spaniard.

The Padre, who knew of his fierce temper and violent history, exclaimed in surprise, "What! No enemies?"

"Not one," said the Spaniard. "I killed the last two yes. terday."

And then there was the pessimist who lay dying with his family gathered around him. He said to them: "Children, I've lived long and worked hard, ever got for it was my victuals and my clothes; and my victuals didn't agree with me, and my clothes didn't fit."

One of the children said, "Father, don't worry any more. Soon you will reach your long, long rest."

And the old pessimist replied: "If I were sure of that, I wouldn't mind, but I'm afraid that about the time I settle down to a good rest, old Gabriel will blow that trumpet."

Company in a transaction ending several months of negotlatlons.

"Effective January 1, W. E. Cooper Wholesale Lunrller Company will cease <Joing business after more than 64 years of continuous service to the trade," said James W. Cooper. "I arn looking forward to our association with Staudarcl l-utnber Cornpany and the opportunity of adcling the fine protlrrcts of Pickering Lunrber Corporation and other pine suppliers represented by Standard to the items from our other established mill connections rvhich I can offer to my retail luurber clealer friends." Cooper weut on to say that he has already discontintted lris LCL business. The property at 4848 West Pico Iloulevarrl was not inclrrded in the sale.

It was pointed out that the purchase would enable Standarcl Lumber Company, Inc., to offer a full-rounded service to both the industrial trade and to retail lumber dealers. "With this transaction, Standard Lumber Con.rpany, Inc. will be able to offer direct shipments of redwood, Douglas fir, western red cedar, hemlock and spruce, in addition to sugar and ponderosa pine, incense cedar and white fir," said Steinmetz.
