_1st Guest._ I read in one of the Sunday papers that BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
discovered the Daylight Saving Bill by noticing that the sun shines
the moment it rises, and not several hours afterwards, as is popularly
supposed.
_2nd Guest._ How interesting! By the way, FRANKLIN'S body has never
been found since he discovered the North Pole.
_3rd Guest._ No, poor fellow, although STANLEY went in search of him.
_1st Guest (correcting)._ He found him right enough, but FRANKLIN
preferred to stop where he was. Rough on STANLEY.
