Laugh With U.s.
Not At Us

A friend of ours 1--WE still have j
few although We have showed this
column upon our readers for nearly
a YEAR, says that his idea of soft
snap would be that of cashier at a
police station counting the coppers
as they came in. Our idea of a joD
easier than that would be counting
the coppers as they go out.
Less Counting
Hard to Understand
The farmer who hitched his horse
to a telephone pole wonders why the
policeman soon came up and ordered
him to move on. As far as he could
see, the sign on the telephone read,
Fine for Hitching."
Can You Blame Him.
Some Step
Two 'sstews" wandered in to dance
hall. They asked where the checkroon,
was. "Take the first door to your right
and go down three steps, was the
answer.
One stew got to the wrong door.
It was the elevator shaft. Down he
went, eight stories. The other yelled
down to him after having watched his
sudden departure, "What are you do
ing down there?"
After a pause the answer f1oated
up, Hanging up my coat. Watch out
for that first step; it's an awful long
one" Let's Go.
Going Down.
Back to Normally
Turkish bandits are reported by
DR.. George White of Minneapolis to
have committed terrible outrages
against Greek and Armenian women.
From that report it is easy to say
that Europe apparently is fast work
ing itself back to nomalcy.
Nothing Unusual There
He's One Who Knows
In New York city a number of
apartment houses are connected by
4,bways with the office buildings
where the male inhabitants WORK.
Judging from that, we suppose that
large number OF Them have to call
up traffic cop to find out when to
put oH lHeH HlttteT uuUCfWcar.
You Tell En-
Edison at Fault
An eastern writer declares that if
Edison really wanted to find out what
the young men of today know about
ancient history he should have asked
them to give definition of the word
"chaperon."
Wen BET she would have been some
definition.
Or SOME Chaperon-
Mostly Surgery
Geography students prior to the
World war were taught that Germany
was noted for surgery and music,
but World war veteran tells US that
during the war their music was not
so good.
Even ButchereS That
No Cause for Alarm
A married man, who claims he
doesn't make his wife get up and
build the fire in the, morning, SAYS
that the difficulty he has in getting
the fire started causes him to wonder
how buildings ever burn down.

er ceased to love. Many years OF
his life were spent there and when
stricken with illness he sought the
rest and quietude of the valley.

of doors was an exceeding 10y
atty to his friends, and a devotion
to their interests. He is survived

orator in the hall, and that MI.
Stafford called to talk it over with
the Rennies. Mrs. Stanley was
there and testified that in the
course of the conversation, not
only was there threats to Mrs.
Rennie and talk that shocked her,
but that Mr.. Stafford also made
similar talk and threats to her,
which caused her severe nervous
shock. DR.. f. II. Davis testified
to having treated Mrs. Stanley for
headache and nervous condition
the day after the alleged ARRAY.
Mr. Stafford and his witnesses les
titled to what happened on The
date named. This testimony was
a general denial of the testimony
that had made up the plaintiff S
case and contradictcd it in all cs-
scntial points.
The case was completed and
went to the jury Friday night. One
of the four pleas was one for The
plaintiff by Mr. Gibson. 1t was
his maiden effort before a Gale
donia county jury, but was of a
quality of to-thc-pointedness that
convinced all who heard it that
he is liable to be heard again. The
jury had difficulty in arriving at
an agreement in the case, and af-
ter an all-nipht session reported
in court Saturday morning their
inability to get together and were
discharged, after which court re-
cessed until Tuesday morning.
1t had been supposed chat Tues
day morning the case of Elizabeth
Y. Rcnnie against John J. Stafford

tried, was to come up for cOnsid-
Grafton, but it is now expected that

set for hearing prophesies busy

Fred A. Hutchins, the iuryman

asked the court to be excused. He
