We have two kinds of "conference." One is that to which the office boy refers when he tells the applicant for a job that Mr. Blevi...tch is "in conference." This means that Mr. Blevitch is in good health and reading the paper, but otherwise unoccupied. The other type of "conference" is bona fide in so far as it implies that three or four men are talking together in one room, and don't want to be disturbed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A demanding stranger arrived one morning in a small town and asked a boy on the sidewalk of the main street, "Boy, where's the pos...t office?" "I don't know."

The little toy dog is covered with dust, But sturdy and stanch he stands;... And the little toy soldier is red with rust, And the musket moulds in his hands. Time was when the little toy dog was new, And the soldier was passing fair; And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue Kissed them and put them there.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
