Hungry Hale Thoughts on Things In

"It's blamed seldom that things

CRY Hal, the philosopher. what
we want we cant git, and what we
don't want we have to take. Last
July when ] didn't have no use fer
an overcoat people left their doors
wide open fer anybody to sneak in
that wanted to. Now when it's got
to a point where Id like to pick a
little fruit from some hall tree they
keep the doors all shut. It's the
same old trouble. Everything in
this world goes dead wrong. In the
summer, when body amt got no
use for haystacks, there's plenty Of
'cm, but when it's winter and they'd
come in handy they're mostly gone.
When man feels as though he'd
like to NOV II lawn fer his supper
there amt nothin to do but shovel
snow. There's never any fruit on
the trees except when you feel too
tired 20 pick it, and when you've
got an appetite fer pie they're dead
sure to hand YOU ont ham sand
wich. When folks want ice they
have to pay for it. When they don't
need it they can pick it off'm their
whiskers. It's tough old world
any way you look at it."-Chicago
