FATHER JONES

Luck never comes single-handed,

tainly in luck. We had just finished
announcing that Bro. Crist was a
daddy when we received wireless
that Bro. w. D. Jones, pipe filter in
the roundhouse, was the proud and
doting father of baby girl. We
thought Bro. Jones acted rather
queer the other night when he sug-
gested feeding Bro. Crist's baby ice
cream. He knew it would be his turn
next and was after information as to
what and how much an infant could
eat, but being bashful he took a
roundabout way to gain his point.
He should have asked the correspon-
dent who has christened twelve of
his own and is qualified to give real
advise and information. Well, here's
luck, Bro. Jones, we hope you will al
ways be as happy as you are now.
