Couldn't Even Catch One for Pet
BY John p. Medbury

always awake when the collectors
call.
He hasn't any education. The
day he went to school the teacher
didn't show up.
If he is broke and hungry he
can't borrow a nickel to ride out to
the poor house.
He hires a room at a hotel and
plans to asphyxiate himself and
then finds that the gas is turned
off. T..
Then he decides to blow his
brains out. He finds a revolver.
but he can't locate his brains.

around to my office at three
o'clock and I'll give you ten thou
sand dollars" he'd lose the money
because he wouldn't be able tc
find q clock.
One bird broke into a wealthy
home and stole a big grandfather
timepiece, and the judge gave him
six months. The unlucky guy stole
a little wrist watch and got life.

A lot of fellows can't help being
unfortunate. Bad luck follows
them around like a bum check.
If they get out in storm
where it's raining cats and dogs
they couldn't even catch one for a
pet.
They may have been born under
a lucky star, but if they were it
was on a cloudy night.
Il would be just their luck to
pal around with q bunch of doctors
at q medical convention and not
get sick.
One of these guys can't even be
lucky in love. He finds some girl
that he worships and then spoils 1t
by marrying her. ~.
If Rockefeller was going to give
a thousand dollars to every soldier
