, UNlUCkY BILL

Mr.. w. II. Bohnhoff no doubt has
good reasons to believe that he Is in
the unfortunate class. Last August
a couple of bandits stole his large
Buick car out of the garage, near his
home in East Brookings, and after
spending several days in diltgent
search for the same, he finally found
his car at Lennon, S. D., which was
quite badly impaired owing to rough
usage received in the hands Of the
culprits.
Mr.. Bohnhoff, being of rather su-
perstitiOus turn of mind, was again
called upon to overlook the actions
of some sneak thief, who was degrad-
ing enough to enter his garage last
Friday evening and carry away fine
well-dressed pOrker which he had
carefully stored therein for safekeep-
ing, upon return from his ElktOn farm
late that evening, after spending the
day in helping his tenant butcher the
summers supply OF meat for both
families.
Luckily for Mr. Bohnhoff that in his
hasty retreat the pilferer overlooked
the hogs head which was laying on
a nearby shelf Consequently Bill is
consoling himself nowadays by eat
ing head cheese, while he swears ven
geance upon the guilty marauder.
While Mr. Bohnhoff regrets the loss
of the hog from the II G. l.. view
point, he laments the loss more bit
terly owing to the fact that he feels
that the hard days work which he en-
countered in butchering was in vain.
Moral-Beware, Bill, about leaving
any more well-dressed pOrkers in that
Inflated garage. 80

AUSDAlE

Dear friends, our hearts are lonely
At the news that came today,
That the one We loved was taken
In the prime of life's MONDAY.
Her smile was always sunny;
Her presence ever brought cheer;
Her friendship was highly valued
And held by all most dear
Words fail to express our sorrow
For the dear ones so sadly bereft
Their pathway is suddenly darkened,
Their guiding star is set.
But God is ever watchful,
And will lead with kindly hand
To the day they meet their loved one
In a brighter and happier land.
