OUR LITTLE DAILY STORY.

Gene Miller. John Ellsworth and
Ed Worden used TO live in the same
neighborhood 25 or 30. years ago.
Ed came back TO town the other
day for a visit, the first time in
good many years. OF course Gene
Miller at the American Trust Co.
didn't recognize Ed when he came
into the bank 10 see him. which
caused Ed 10 do quite-a little brae
ging about how perfectly well he
always remembered names and
faces.
A few minutes later Mr.. Ellsworth
dropped into the bank to see Il his
account was overdrawn very much.
Mr. Miller called him into his Of
. fee where he and Mr.. Worden
weref talking and Mr.. Ellsworth.
who never forgets a name or face
promptly said:
"Howdy Ed. Where have you
been"
Ed told John where he had been.
letting on all the time that he knew
him. Finally he turned 10 Miller and
queried: Where's John Ellsworth
Is he still here in town."
He wondered why the other two
men laughed so hard. and finally
understood when Gene pointed at
John and said: That's john you're
talking to-" And Ed laughed with
them
Charley Coonley then came in the
bank!
Gene Miller said:

his nit and said: Hello, Mr.. Cush-

Then sam Lontz came along, and
Mr.. Worden thought he was Sam
Leeper. and we left after that be
cause we were afraid that perhaps
Jimmy Patten might drop i'm and
be mistaken for one of the Ivan
boys. or some other such case Of
mistaken identity would develop.
and we didn't want 10 be there as
an eve witness TO his embarrass-
ment.
The moral of this story is that

Red Cross Christmas Seals

The second shipment of seals
has finally reached Mrs. A. NJ.
Hopper, chairman of the sale for
this parish, after the first ship
ment being lost. so that it is now
possible tor everyone to buy as
many seals as wanted.
The quota for Natchitoches par
ish is S2.000.0O, and because of
the delay in receiving seals, the
work of getting subchalrmen and
solicitors thruout the parish is
going to be mighty pard as the
mail and train service have been so
badly disorganized since the coal
strike.
At meeting last week, every
lodge, social and religious organi-
zation in town was represented
and it was decided that solicitors
from each organization be ap-
pointed to look after the members
of that one so that every one
shonld be asked to buy seals-and
that at the last a house to house
canvass would be made by the !
Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls,
who would gather the gleannings.
1t is unnecessary to dwell at any
length upon the wonderful work
the Anti-Tuberculosis League is
doing and is planning to do all
over the United States, but it is
