The cold spell last week freezed up
lots of water pipes, heater pipes and
other pipes of different people on the
island and plummers was kept busy
extractin the freeze with hot water
applications, etc., etc. Some pipes
busted which was lucky for plummers.
If it wasn't for freezin weather, busted
pipes and other things plummers
would have to put out sheriffs signs
sometimes. At one hotel pipes freez-
ed in nine places on Xmas day what
made the turkey dinner late which is
a awful thing. We almost had our
pipes froze up too in the snap as well
as nose and toes. heard 1t say that
red hot apple jack is the best thaw
out for cold pipes and jack frost.

Xmas and New Year postals has
been the thing this year to send all
friends, enemies and nice gurls what
you want to remember you. Reeves,
Ryans, Meeches, Fries and other
stores hereabouts has sold good many
hundred picture ppstals these holidays
to different young bloods, some with
fancy tinsel on what are fine for best
gurls. The post card craze-y allows
us smart fellers to send valentines all
year round what is all right If they
don't come backwards.
"Chocu is the name of a young chap
what works at the Journal shop stickin
type and feedin printin presses when
he aint feedin his face. Old kris didn't
forget him Xmas time and give him a
box of &c cigers to smoke with bands
and shiny tin foil on EN- which tickel-
him to II. Choc is customed to
slippin &c bands on penny smellers to
deceive hisself but he wont have to do
it now for while and were glad. We
hope Choc won't smoke hereafter like
he smokes here.
The Greenleaf social club is all right

SO slow as some slur it. They had a

long and stay green.
Most everybody on mile walked up
at IL m Monday night and brought in
O7Jwith good deal of hot air and gun
powder. Purity ruff treatment for a
youngester if OF looks like his pictur.
Ye reporter believes in resolves for OF
and we made a few this week. Some
body said once 1t was better to make
EN- and break em than not to have
made EN- at all. That's our situation
exact.
We resolve next year to see the sun
ny side of each day If there is any-but
We resolve to sit on the shady side
of the porch in the summer time-and
We resolve to get moon struck when
we get the chance-also
We resolve to see stars when we get
jolted on the head-and also
We resolve to get out of the wet
when storm clouds are burstin,
And few others we didn't put down
and so forgot.
There was fake gurls and real gurls
at the big skate at the casino last night.
Most fellers can tell fakes but some got
fooled which aint fair to cheat any
feller out of skatin with the real boni-
fide when he gets up nerve to ask for a
date. Some young bloods might get
mad if fooled they'd turn bachelors.
Where's the fun of fakin. We'd rather
be a feller every time, then you can get
gurl to skate with and maybe pop
the question or be hero. Gurls cant
be heroes but they can be heiresses. A
feller wasn't made to wear gurls fiXins
especially when exercisin on skates.
Things is apt to give way and then
modification sets in.
