Little Benny's Note Book

We ate suppir yestidday, being
stake under onions, and pop sed to
ma, o by the way, mother, let me
have a candle, l wunt to &c
down the celler.
@ pop, are you going to look for
berglers? | sed, and pop sed, I'm
going to reed the gas meter, one
of the men down at the office had
a thing today to show how to reed
your own gas meter and hereafter
I'm going to attend to that myself
insted of leeving it intirely to
strange gas men and posserbly
after this the gas bills wont be so
Excessive
wy Willyum, you cant reed the
meter, how redickiliss, sad ma,
and pop sed, ! fale to see your
point, unless you meen to imply
that your husbind is inferior in in
teleck to a ordneery gas man.
Certeny not only | don't see
wy you should allood to gas men
as ordneery, I'm sure some of the
gas men that come GROUND heer
seem to be very brite, sed ma, and
pop sed, A gas man has a mulch
chance, or at leest as mulch rite,
to be president as enybody elts
and l have no doubt they are a
fine body of men and in fact /
wouldent consider it eny ixaggera-
ton to refer to them as gas gem
tlemen.
And he went down the celler
with the candle lit and game back
with it out, saying. Well that's a
fine kettle of fish, that is, accord
ing to that meter our next bill
will be $50 and | wont pay it, hats
all, / wont pay it, something's
rong with that meter and l for
one wont abide by its judgment,
$50, $50, its perposterous.
Its impossible, Willyum, 1t cant
say eny sutch a thing, sed ma,
and pop sed, But you jest herd
my report lin the matter, do you
still wish to insist tina the averidge
gas man has more branes than I
have? and ma sed, Certeny not,
goodniss grayshiss, and pop sed,
Then wy is it impossible? and ma
sed, Because the gas man that
brings the bills was heer today and
the bill is ony SIS.
is there eny law of man or
heaven that prevented you from
telling me so before I went down
the celler? sed pop. And he started
to reed the paper mad, and ma
started to darn holes ont OF socks
and l started to do my lessins
agenst my will.

looking around, he heard the pa
per torn open, and he was laugh
ing OF think how surprised Nurse
Jane would be when she saw the
salt, pepper, mustard and so on,
when all of sudden q voice
cried:
"Oh, what's this! What sort of
stuff are you giving me? Oh, how
my tongue burns!"
Uncle Wiggily quickly turned
around and there he saw the bad
old Fox. The Fox had opened the
make believe Valentine and,
thinking it was something good
to eat, he had taken large
mouthful, And of course you know
what the salt, pepper, mustard and
horseradish did to his tongue. Yes,
indeed!
ooh, what a trick to play on
mel" howled the Fox as he ran
away to look for some ice water.
What trick!"
at serves you right for trying
to fool me and make me think you
were Nurse Jane, as l did think, !"
said the bunny, Then he took
Nurse James pretty valentine, all
lace, and gold and purple and red,
and give it to his muskrat lady
housekeeper, not waiting until
night. And Nurse Jane laughed
when she heard how the Fox
burned his tongue. But she just
loved her valentine.
So everything came out all
right, and if the cuckoo clock
doesn't whistle at the dog and
make him believe a policeman
wants him, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily and Susie's paws.

No.11. SOCORRO and LEMI-
TAR. To students of Indian
languages and customs, the origin
of the names of these two towns
are obvious. A white man by the
name of Ora was among the first
to settle in this district, and on the
half holidays which the Indians
| always took each Saturday, they
amused themselves by compelling
Ora to run the gauntlet, while they
playfully pelted him with such
harmless articles as tomahawks,
war clubs and spears dipped in
rattlesnake poison. Or as strange
as it may seem, was not always
willing to enter into these primi-
tive games, and it was then neces-
sary to prod him a bit. During
these proddings, which were done
for the purpose of creating inter-
est and enthusiasm in the sport,
the cry of SOAK ORA" and
"LEMITAR OUT OF HIM. in the
quaint Indian tongue became so
popular that they named a couple
of towns that way. What could be
sWeeter, or more romantic?

UNCLE WIGGILY'S VALENTINE
By Howard r. CARTS.

what have you there, Uncle
Wiggily?" asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy one morning as the musk
rat lady housekeeper saw the bum
ny gentleman wrapping something
up in pink paper and tying it
with blue string.
ooh, nothing" answered Uncle
Wiggily, careless like, as he chew
ed the end of the string off in his
teeth. Just nothing much at all"
'Huml l guess l know nothing
when l see it, spoke Nurse Jane
with a little sniff. However, il
you don't want to tell me you
needn't. / guess | can have n
secret myself. I'm not going to tell
you what you're going to have
for lunch. So there!"
With that Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy
hoped out of the hollow stump
bungalow, and Uncle Wiggily felt
a little sad. He didn't want
Nurse Jane to think he'd keep a
secret from her. but he just had
to this time. For he was wrapping
up her valentine and he didn't
want her to know, you see.
"She pretty nearly saw what it
was" said Uncle Wiggily to him
self, as he hid the package in the
top of his tall, silk hat. "But
i don't believe she has quite
guessed what it is, and when it
gets dark I'll leave the valentine
on the steps, ring the bell and
run away"
1t was Valentine day in animal
land. and the boys and girls, from
Sammie and Susie Littletail, the
rabbits, to Dickie and Nellie Flip
tail, the sparrows, had been send
ing valentines to each other. Now
it was Unc' WipRilv's turn to send

A Reply TO Mr.. yenable.

February IL, 1921.
Editor of the Morning Journal,
Dear Sir:-Mr. Venable knows
very little, if anything, of what an
ex-service man underwent over
| there for this country, and he, a
part of this country is now trying
to repeal a law whereby a soldier
would be given a little in return
for what he gave.
Mr.. Venable has cited an in
stance or two to give his argument
weight, but if he will go farther
| investigate the procedure through
which property was transferred to
EeX-service men, he will find that
| there was in a great majority of
cases, a consideration. Please don't
think, Mr.. Venable, that we are
all of the INSCRIPTIONS kind you
mentioned.
If boy was so unfortunate as
to lose his health after one
months service in the army, and
was drafted only thirty days be-
fore the armistice was signed, it
was through no fault of his. He
answered a call and if he draws a
compensation from the govern
ment, he deserves it. 1t is surely
not for Mr.. Venable to make light
of in the newspapers. If Mr.. Ven
able could have predicted the end
of the war why did he not pre-
vent the drafting Of all these boys
thirty days before the armistice
was signed?

| Editor Morning Journal:
In your issue of February 10 we
read with great deal of pleasure
that in the future, when paving
any particular street is planned, the
commissioners will hold a special
meeting for the property owners
concerned, and that il it is appar-
ent to the said commissioners that
| the property owners do not want
| the paving they will not order it in.
! ms promise is so entirely different
| from their action in regard to the
property owners on West Tijeras
that we are inclined to take it with
a great deal of salt. Granting, how
| ever, that this will be done in the
future, does it not prove that the
people of West Tijeras were right
In their contention and that the
| city commissioners have seen the
error of their ways?
| We venture to assert that very
F.. few taxpayers who are now paying
! will volunteer to pay tribute to any
paving monopoly at the outrageous
price of $500 per yard.
We also read that while the de-
cision in the paving case was pend
ing other companies were afraid
to come in and bid. Now. the
truth is that while this case was
pending no bids for paving were
asked and we know that if the New
Mexico --struction company has
| its way in the future as in the past
our own dear little monopoly will
be the only bidder on paving con-
tracts in our fair city.
