#1 Our beagle loves to hunt. As soon as someone opens the back door for her, she barrels down porch and stepps the yard instantly.Then she begins running back and forth across the lawn in ecstasy. Her nose cruises the wet grass for smells of cats, rabbits and other presences too subtle for human detection. While sniffing, she spins her tail in quick circles first clockwise then counterclockwise. These two activities always occur together. They seem to propel her along.
#2 The Government Printing Ofiice in Washington D.C., is a source of much useful information despite the fact that few people know about it. The GPO publishes pamphlets and books on a vast number of subject which range from the dangers of X-rays from home TV sets to the identification of mushrooms. About 27,000 publications are offered through the Superintendent of Documents many of which are inexpensive and for some of which there is no charge at all.
#3 There was a man who reaped America's first fortune. His name was John Jacob Astor and he was a lowborn, uneducated German immigrant. He made his living by trading Indian furs. As he never learned to speak English properly, he carried on his business to the end in an accent which was redolent of the Hamburg gutters.
