Convenient Code. Frank I. Cobb used to be a reportei in Detroit and knew intimately a former for-mer governor of the state of Michi. gan, who was renowned among other things for his ability as a free-hand swearer. One night Cobb was dining with the ex-governor and his family. A messenger mes-senger came in to tell the host that one of his pet political schemes had just been defeated through the bungling bun-gling of a lieutenent. The old man ripped out a string of dark blue ones. "Now, pa," said his wife, "you promised prom-ised me you would quit cursing." "Marie," said the ex-governor, "I'm not cussing this is just the way I talk!" Philadelphia Saturday Even- ing Post.
