Overheard,

Yesterday afternoon. while "a party of
youngsters, composed of two boys and
three girls. were enjoying ride OH Lake
Edwards, In an old dugout, the boys
wanted to ''scare the girls little just to
hear then squeal," by rocking the craft
from side to side, when it tipped over and
threw tie whole party into the water.
After good deal Of iloundering about,
they succeeded in getting safely on shore,
but it was hard to tell which was the
worst scared. as the boys did more
'squcaling' by half than the girls.
