LUKE MeLukE SAYS

We don't know why 1t is that when
a chicken gets out she simply can't
help acting like a goose.
We never could understand why
a man who is soused devotes SO
much time to telling how sober he
is.
one whose wife washes his ears for
him before she let's him go. out.
Women's clothes are going up.
But you wouldn't believe it when
you see some of the bare breasts on
the street.
failure is often that way be-
cause he is long-winded and short
sighted.
You can cuss some slow workers
and get away with it. But If you
cuss a plumber he will charge it up
to you in his bill.
Any high school can dig up val
edictorian for the class of 1918. But
it is hard matter to dig up a win
ming pitcher for the 1918 ball team.
You may have noticed that the fell
low who is on top in a rough-and
tumble fight never hollers for arbi-
tration.
II women knew that after they get
thru bawling they look like an old
maid getting up in the morning
they wouldn't bawl SO often.
Nature is a good joker. She will
give little flat-chested girl legs
like baby elephant and will give a
big, pigeon breasted girl legs like
knitting needles.
One sure way to make an enemy
is to stop busy man on the street
and buttonhole him until you tell
him how smart your baby is.
We respect man who believes
in temperance. But nearly all of the
prohibitionists we know believe in
reform for revenue only.
One kind of woman can wear fine
clothes and look classy. And anoth-
er kind of woman looks like a ten
cent dog with $4,000 collar when
she gets dolled up.
When a man goes to church he is
smart enough to realize that five
cent piece makes more noise than a
fifty-dollar bill when it is dropped
into a collection plate.
What has become of the old-fash-
toned girl who used to blush when a
man spoke to her?
Every rose has its thorn. And
when summer comes the girls think
it is up to them to display their liv-
er-colored elbows.
Any fool man can make a woman
talk. But it takes superman Ito
make her shut up.
When a chicken is wearing a
couple OF new 10-cent-store rings her
hair or her hat require fixing all the
time.
It is none Of our business. But If
women were shaped like some of the
corsets they wear they would be in
an awful fix.
