Show Learn Your Letters. The Letter E: Someone has advanced the opinion that the letter "e"' is the most unfortunate character In the English alphabet. -because it Is always out of cash, forever In debt, never out of danger and in hell all the time. But we call his attention to the fact, says the Charleston Gazette, that "e" is never in war and always in peace. It Is the beginning- of existence, the commencement com-mencement of ease and the end of trouble. trou-ble. Without it there would be no meat, no life and no heaven. It i-s the center of honesty, makes love perfect, and without with-out it there would be no editors, devils or news. Whereupon this booklover, taking little time to study the "New Standard," evolved the following- about The Letter A: Is always In heat, but is never in cold; Ie always in age, but never in old ; Is always in brass, but never in gold; Is always in stars, but never in sun; Is always in cannon, but never in gun; Is always 'in laughter, but never in fun; Is ever in manhood, but never In youth; Is ever in facts, but never in truth; It lingers in hate, but is never in love; It soars with the lark, but is not in the dove; Tou always may find it where loud breakers break-ers roar, But not in the ships that are cast on , the shore.
