 "Weu," said the boss, "that's the first time Bill ever set a date to pay. Did he really say he would pay in January"

Machine shop circles at Treadwell have been very much agitated for sev- eral days by the visit of one of their old Tillicums in the person of (Big Bill) Schlothan. His arrival was the signal for one of the good old fashioned bowling games explained by Jack Nc Cormick and Big Bill. It was a walk over for the Big Bill team, McCor- mick's team playing like bunch of has-beens and losing by 2 straight. The features of the match were the high scores of Powell, Gilligau and Russell. Jack Mccormick surprised the audience by making a score of 123 Gin two games.} The first game was won by 96 pins and the second by l12 pins (Whew). The real reason for the defeat was the presence of John Chris toe on the losing side. John would hoodoo a twenty dollar goldpiece. There are two vacancies on Jack Me Cormick's team caused by the dis missal in disgrace of Dave Russell and John Christoe.

A colored citizen was brought before a police judge charged with stealing chickens. He plead guilty and received sentence, when the judge asked him how he managed to lift those chickens right under the window of the owners house when there was dog loose in the yard. "Hit wouldn't be no use judge" said the negro, ito try to 'splain this thing to yo all. Elf you was to undertake it you like as not would get yo' hide full of shot and not get no chickens nuther. If yo want to engage in any rascality yo' better stick to de bench whar yo is familiar" Moral Every man to his own trade.
