Aunt Prudence Hecklebury


Aunt Prudence Hecklebury
Aunt Prudence Hecklebury has rolled a
ball under the bed every night for many
years to make sure that man is not hiding
there.
One night, several years ago, the ball did
not come out on the other side o. the bed.
*
She opened her mouth as if to scream. go
Then she suddenly closed her mouth -,
without screaming. -.
Then she looked under the bed. She saw
ball had been stopped by shoe.
Then Aunt Prudence Hecklebury
screamed.
After that once every two or three weeks,
Aunt Prudence Heckleberry would throw
shoes about the room in such careless FASH
ion that one of them was sure to lodge under
the bed
And when night came she would roll the
ball under the bed again and it would be
stopped by the shoe and then she would
scream.
But she never got out of it, at any subse-
yuent time, the same thrill that she had ex-
perienced the first time that the ball was
stopped.
And as the years go on she gets less and
less thrill when the ball is stopped by the
shoe.
She scarcely screams now days the
noise she makes is rather squeak than q
scream.
It is becoming more and more impossibls
for her to pretend that she does not know
that it is shoe.
So am afraid that Aunt Prudence Heckle-
bury is beginning to get really cid.
All, me! Romance passes!

''Tel me the truth" writes R. P.--and we
pause to inquire: When did we ever tell
YOU aught else?-"tell me the truth, are not
Capt. Peter Fitz rise and MetAuselah one
and the same person?"
They were years ago, r. P, but finally
the Captain set up for himself. The Cap
tain is very agile person; In the course
of his life he has run through five fortunes
tillery.
In a few hundred thousand years, no
doubt, new and superior variety OF the hui
man species will have been evolved. In the
meantime perhaps, it may not be mistake
to cultivate friendly telling or the sort al
ready in existence.
Some men are afraid Of their consciences.
Some men are afraid of bill collectors. Some
men are afraid Of their wives. But all men
are afraid of edntists.
Mr., Marquis doesn't have to initiate any
one.-Robert G. Benchley.
And yet, as we both know, Robert, it's
often temptation.
