last, got the following story in reply:
kindergarten teacher asked a class
of boys: Have you warm coat!
Yes" was the reply. Can you take
off your warm coat?" Yes" Has a
bear a warm coat?' Yes" Can
bear take off his warm coat?" No.
why can not the bear take off his
warm coat?" This puzzled the young

Mr.. Randall, the balloonist made
another ascension Saturday after
noon, an old fashioned ascension, in
which he rode the balloon back to
the earth without making the para
chute leap. Asked why he did this
Mr.. Randall said, "Well, so many
people have asked me what would
happen if | stayed with the balloon,
how far and how high would it 60
and how would you get down, and /
showed them" The light wind ear
.ried the balloon to the southwest and
after getting up a mile or 50 the air
in the bag began to cool and the bal
loon began slowly to settle, coming
down several blocks inside of the
city limits. A good many thought
the bag had sprung a leak or some
thing and were very much exer-
cised over his failure to cut loose
with his parachute.

"THE GOOSE HONKS HIGH"

Two business men were talking in
front of the store of one of them on
Chickasha avenue this morning when
friend Of both stepped up. "Well,
how are you," they both asked in
chorus.
"Oh, everythings lovely and the
goose hangs high" answered the
n wcomer.
Said one of the men, all bet you
have heard that expression a thous-
and times and / doubt if you have
ever stopped to think that you never
hear it right one time in a hundred.
The fact of the matter is a goose
don't hang, he honks; that's the cry
they make when flying, honk, honk,
honk; you've heard them lots of
times. So when you hear man say
the "goose hangs high" you call him
down" Thus spoke the man familiar
with gooseology "The goose honks
high" is the proper caper, according
to this authority.
