Show Things Hoped. If I had a son who was determined to "play the races" I should hope that he would lose his last nickel and have to walk home after his first attendance. ' If I had a daughter who played the piano in the sitting room while her old mother did the work ' in the kitchen I should hope that I might find an oak shingle and be given the grace to use it. - If ever I were to catch myself being as mean and small as some men I know and I may I hope that I should hope, for the benefit of the world, that the Angel Gabriel would toot his horn for me very soon. If I ever knowingly vote for a scoundrel scoun-drel because he represents my party I hope that I may have the privilege of going to school where the elements of decency, are taught. If my wife should prove to be irascible irasci-ble at times but I .don't admit it I should hope that 1 would remember the sort of luck the poor girl played in when she married 'me.
