Wasn't it just too funny to see one of
the "Quartette boys"at the fire Wednes.
day morning; he dropped the wash bowl
and pitcher out the second story window
but his girls picture he carried down
carefully and leaned it against tele
phone pole.
The SOS. and S.S.F. society which
is the out come of the old LOTS. met
at Hon. NE. Nelson's this week. Their
new name is quite appropriate-Some
On Shelf and Some Spoken For. Thir.
teen is an unlucky number and l don't
see how the present organization can
stand,
Don't set ME down for fault finder.
but really it dosn't seem to ME that
people who sit and talk during musical
selections exhibit real good breeding 1t
may be thoughtlessness on their part but
1t is lnexcusable just the same. If YOU
don't want to listen to the music YOUR
self, for goodness sake don't spoil vour
neighbours enjoyment. l have seen this
IN Pemblna society many times and it
was particularly noticeable at the concert
"Wednesday night. The age of the dis.
tufoer seems to cut no figure. nag Don't
do it.
Tuesday night was one of the "oft
Silly sort. One those nights so Still
that every noise is exaggerated. 1t was
so still that the dropping of pin"
awakened all the sleepers within four
blocks of the railroad. 1t was coupling
pin and from the audible remarks
coupled with the incident by the brake
man,-the engineer, the engine, the cars,
the railroad and the company were all
concerned in the dropping, and the
brakeman prayed for them all. :; He was
doubtless talking about them while
thinking Of a pinched finger. Then the
engine coughed. Those, new Levi A.
Than engines all have heavy cough,
doubtless caused by consumption;; a
shovel of coal to every cough. The
engine coughed about ten times and
after that the folks listening couldn't
count them though there were
several hundred listening and
it was 3 O'Clock in the morning. This
went on at continuous intervals for an
hour and occasionally the bell rang and
whistle footed but all things end Levi
finally started off with cough-cough-
cough - cough acknowledgement
and when he got to the river bridge tie
pretty colored lights of the caboos
were following over the coulee culvert.
The awakened multitude gave signs
OF relief and turned over to catch another
nap before daylight, when Lewis big
brother, who had been waiting on the
side track, with the same bad cough, like
carpenters rip-saw going through a
hemlock board, only million times
louder, took up the refrain to make up
train for the north, while the would be
sleepers lay, and wished they also could
pray-like brakeman.
