irs you one Of the thousands OF New
Yorkers who at those winter state dinners"
are described as "cxiles'2 IR 30, do you
watch eagerly for the weekly paper" and
read the little items which keep fresh tho
recollection OF the scenes Of your early life?
For instance, IL in the days OF your
youth you had stolen many a lump Of -mO-
lasses sugar" from the big barrel in Jake
kooser's grocery store. and had ridden on
his delivery wagon and helped deliver
goods for the very Joy Of doing il. wouldn't
you smile to read This news about Mr.
KOoser in the last paper from your home
in Iowa:
Some fellow without the fear of God in
his heart and but little respect for a sacred
holiday "mooched" Jake kooser's gum slot
machine from in front Of the store Thanks

tanoe lenses and took "gapings" and said he
was glad TO note that they didn't take the

several other boys in the town calaboose
because in an excess OF patriotism on the
night before the Fourth You broke a window
latch and climbed into the Congregational
church to ring tho bell. wouldn't you roar
geefully to read this item in that same
paper:
sheriff Ricketts, owns n COW. Just an Ordi-
nary COW. but his wife insisted on him doing
the milking. and this was not to his liking:
bencc he concluded 20 get rid Of the bovine.
but no one appeared 10 care about buying
her, the stringency OF the money market
having made cows q drug on the market.
SO when an enthusiastic supporter of the
Iowa football team bantered Bill for u bet
he made excuses about never betting. but
bethought himself that that would be a fine
scheme. to yet shut of that gosh DANCED"
COW, BEING a loyal supporter Of Amcs
always. he placed the COW on the Champs.
and TO his discontinue is still milking that
gosh DANCED" COW.
On another paIc your eye meets the sad
news of the death Of Mr.. George Quiet. You
recall that Mr. Quiet was always a walking
advertisements for his calling Of undertaken:
that H.. his garb. always black save for the
rundown cclluioid collar and cuffs to match

that you ever heard him laugh Mr.. Quiet
was a constant advertiser, you remember,
and an nnchaTitable suspicion gets into your
head This Il tho cHncuding paragraph Of
the obituary:
. Ills lllt on 'fTln WIS one OF sunshine ana
continuous happiness His greatest pleasure
was scattering roses o!ong the thorny path
Of Others and when It seemed that his aflic-
tions were more than he could bear. the
smile Of contentcd soul would linger where
the bloom of health had long since faded.

there was no local news. produced this
