! A boy we know had a rotten dispo-
sition the other day and the only in
terest he found in life was trying to
think OF the worst thing he could do.
His mind was very active and he
thought of a number of things that
would have made him completely
happy. could he have put them into
execution-to paint red and blue
stripes across the front of a pillared
white house. to collect a minister a

] Who not so long ago returned from
the navy who is still puzzled and who
/ had a hard time explaining to his
sweetheart what became Of his fra
ternity pin. In one city where he
was stationed for a time a wonderful
/ looking woman who had many clothes
and much money took a fancy to him
and did all kinds of things for his
entertainment: took him to shows,
gave dinner parties for him, hauled
him around in her Limousine. And
Alildily bue ne let ner wear
his pin. Naturally he gave 1t to her,
but when it came time to go he asked
her for it and she wouldn't return it.
Then another of those lost, strayed,
stolen stories was told the sweetheart
waiting at home. In time he pur-
chased another for the sweetheart
| Some say 1t was the crescent and
star, others the six stars shining in the
azure blue. But anyhow it's a Wash
burn boy.
