Mr.. Editor:
Pap is convalootin' now. Yesterday
he made few turns about the house
and thinks maybe he can make it as
far as the barn by. tomorrow. His
simptums certainly appear favorable.
He knows more about cookin' than
Mrs. Baller that writes for the Ladies
Home Journal and he takes a big in
terest in the neighbors' business and
asks lot of questions about politics.
He's either gettin' better or it's the
night before dark brown taste in the
nlornin'. | hope shant De wilder
Say, Mr.. Editor, you made big mis-
take when l first wrote you. | amt

5ssNeighbor Jones was over last even
In and Pap and him had a long con-
FRINGE. Pears to be a notion about
that Pap ought to run for Governor.
Jones suggested that few pos al
cards signed by nobody and sent to
't,mbody sayin' "Rot Rite for Gov
ernor; if not, why not, might start
the boom. But Pap said he'd rather
have a committy of Boise business
men accompanied by Bishop with a
railroad pass call on him, and said
sumthin' about it bein' a good idea
TO prod the Statesman sayin' that it
had kidney trouble and needed a
vacuum cleaner in its mental equip
ment
s,- Strange the way politicians talk
Last summer Teller was over here
a-lookin' over the irrigation project
and stopped day or two at our house
Papsahd him talked politics, and
heard him sayin' the Statesman was a
good newspaper but to be appreciated
it had tossbe seen. Most any idji'
