decided to call on the local express
agency to see If way could not
be found out of our difficulty.

press bills. In front Of him was a
man whose nose was somewhat
flushed by the cold, evidently a
patron of the express company. He
was shuGling his feet noisely and
heehawing in vain to attract the
attention of the man behind the
counter. Finally in desperation he
blew his nose and when Mr.. Della
Hunt at last looked up he inquired
for some express. what kind of
a package are you expecting, my
friend,' asked DeLaHunt. "Oh, a
little box" "What kind of a
box?" why a four-cornered box
of course" who is it from?"
"Never mind about that" well,
who are you?" ''None Of your bus
mess who l am" said the man
whose nose began shifting to blue.
How do you expect me to deliver
your express without knowing who
it is addressed to, you mutt" said
DeLaHunt with emphasis on the
mutt. you'll find my name on the
box, you big bloomin' pie-faced-."
"Never mind about the pie" says
our express agent, and took the
man by the back of the neck, push
ed his nose into the inkwell, lifted
him out into Pacific Ave., and turn
ed quietly back to work, whistling
what purported to be the air Of
yankee doodle"
Finally we ventured forward and
exchanged greetings. 'How is your
constitutional organism, Mr.. De-
LaHunt?" we asked.
"Not particularly in pressing
need of any amendments, thank
you," he said.
We told him that we had not
come to offer any amendments to
his constitution, but merely to get
some advice on a matter pertain
ing to the joke department of the
Incubator, a great publication with
which we had the honor Of being
connected. We then explained
about the joke of Eve being made
for Adams Express Company and
how inapplicable it was to use it,
being that the company doing bus
mess here is the Great Northern,
He said he was sorry but would
have to refer us to Mr.. Robert Nc.
Clintock his side kicker, who, be-
ing Irish, was more posted on
jokes, real or imaginary. And
then he sank back and became alb
sorbed in q big book entitled
"Rates and Classifcations." That
must be an interesting book we
thought. We didn't say anything
tho, but turned and went away. II
maybe would be asking too much
to have the Express Company
change it's name just to help us
out. The old joke doesn't amount
to much anyway, SO we went home
and wrote an essay on the Ford au
tomobile instead, which appears n
another column. II.

An Essay on the Ford,
Literally Speaking.

The automobile is a mechanical
device for transporting people
from one place to another, but the
ford is contraption for to take
them back again.
Some people useth tho ford for
delivering ice and hauling gas pipe,
but it can also be used for herding
cattle.
Like the broncho the ford is q
shy animal and should not be driv-
en- without blinds. It is well to
keep its girdle-strap securely fas-
tened lest a piece of paper along
the roadside maketh it to jump in
to the ditch.
If all the jokes told or written
about the ford were printed in sim
gle column n0npareil it would
reach from Kalamazoo, Michigan,
to DeGraff, Minnesota, with plenty
left for slack.
Like the rabbit and the guinea
pig the ford propogateth rapidly
and filleth the land in abundance.
It is said that the meek shall
inherit the earth, but il the ford
haveth any meekness it is only
when the gasoline tank is empty.
The ford has no self-starter, but
it often starts itself just the same.
It can jump a creek like a fee
jumpeth a collar-button. It leapeth
over the curb into the plate glass
front as bull dog springeth after
the neighbor's cat.
The ford is not made Of sardine
boxes, as has been slanderously
circulated by its envious contem-
poraries, yet it maketh more noise
than a tin can tied to the candal
protruberation Of q canine beset
with hydrophobia.
The ford never runneth into the
train and wrecketh the rolling
stock of the railroad for the engi-
neer, hearing it from afar OF, put
teth on his brakes.
The opulent constituents Of the
four hundred In their 12-cylinder
car tilteth their nasal extremeties
as they pass the ford gas wagon
on the public thoroughfare. But
when the said $4,000 ought-to-m0-
bile standeth stuck in the mud, the
ford cometh along like q whirlwind
!. and tooteth its horn like q screech-
owl. It goeth by like Pandemon-
ium bent for lection, and spstter-
eth mud on the silken gowns Of
the stranded tourists. It passeth
on out Of sight as tel duck Tying
windward and. as the priest and
Levite on their way to Damascus.
it leaveth the waylaid to curse the
approaching rain. 80

Bankers May Change Districts.

Oklahoma City, Feb. S.-The Ok
lahoma committee of bankers who
were designated to represent the
contention of this state that it ought
all to be in the Kansas City reserve
district, are now in Washington and
will appear before the federal re-
serve board Wednesday. The COM
mittee consists of w. B. Harrison,
secretary of the Oklahoma Bankers
association; Frank Craig Of McAles-
ter, Guy C. Robertson of Lawton
and E. X. Thurmond of Sayre. The
committee wants all of Oklahoma
except five counties, in the south
eastern section of the state. placed
in the Kansas City district.
1t is noteworthy that the zeal in
behalf of the redistricting has abated
materially since the banks were or
ganized, however, and there is not
the clamor. for a change that was
heard Immediately following an
nouncement of the lines of the new
districts.
