Ripping Rhymes
IN MOURNING
BY Walt Mason

My Aunt Ophelia bumped the bumps
and left this world of care; since then
I've had the doleful dumps, all kinds
OF bleak despair. My life seems desc
late and flat since Aunt Opehlia died:
oand of crepe is on my hat. some
seven inches wide; and on my lapel
and on my sleeve are other sable
bands, and every where l go l grieve
and sigh and wiring my hands. NY
letter papers edged with black. so
that no one may forget; and on the
front door of my shack there is a dark
rosette. But yesterday the parson
said, In grief you run amuck; l know
that your Aunt Ophelia's dead and
that is beastly luck; l now she was A
good old dame, / understand your
woe; but she would have you play
the game if she were here, l know.
If she could come from t'other land,
a vague but kindly shape, she'd ask
that all your tears be canned, and
likewise all the crepe. Some little
mourning she'd accept, as tribute safe
and sane, but if she knew how long
you've wept, know she'd have pain.
She was a bright and blithe old maid
and laughter filled her home; she
wouldn't like the crepe displayed upon
your arm and dome. Your aunt is on
the golden shore, she's happy as a
bird; no doubt she thinks you are a
bore, and all your gloom absurd

O. Who was Joe Miller who wrote
the Joke Book?-F L.
A. Joe Miller was an English come
dian who lived from 1854 until 1873.
So illiterate that he was unable to
read, he married that he might have
someone to read his parts to him.
About this time it became thesvogue
to publish books of jokes, attributing
them to some one person. A year
after Miller's death John Motley COM
piled book of Y pages containing
247 jests and called it Joe Miller's
TESTS. Only three were in any way
connected with the actor. Many edi-
lions have been printed. In 1745 the
number of jokes included had risen
to 5S7 and by the middle of the nine
.teenth century to 1916.
Q. Is grapefruit more akin to
oranges or to lemons IF. H.
A. All three belong to the citrus
family, but the grape fruit more near
ly approaches the orange in amount
of sugar and citric acid it contains
than the lemon.
@. What part of the railroads re
ceipts are paid out for labor?-J. E. H.
A In 1920 the total operating rev
enues of railways of Glass I amounted

exclusive of that portion of the pay
roll chargeable to Capital Account. In

S6,516,556,46 and $2,585, 1924 In
1920, 55.4 cents in each dollar went
to labor, and in 1921, 469 cents.
Q. What was the origin of the name
of Bridget?-E. A. E.
A There is much romance identified
with the name Bridget which was first
used by the ancient Celts. The or
iginal form of the name was Brighid,
indicating strength. One legend is to
the effect that the first girl to bear
the name was a daughter of Erse, god
dess of wisdom and poetry and the
god of fire. The Scotch version of
the name was Bride" Another bit
of Irish folklore has it after st. Pat
rick got through with his job of rid
ding Ireland of snakes he took up the
problem of supplying the people with
a fit substitute for their heather god
dess With this in mind he selected a
pretty Irish lass Just freed from a
kings bondage and re-baptized her
Brighid She became famous as st.
Bridget and was mother superior OF
a convent with 500 nuns. The name
Bridget became popular throughout
the British Isles and modified versions
of it are found in all European
countries.

Five hundred delegates, represent

The animals he selects are tested and
found free from tuberculosis. If he
should make and keep nose prints of
the cattle, that is, assuming that the
idea proves practical, he could salts
fly myself that he receive the test
ed COWS.
The main objection to the nose
print system is that it would involve
expense if it were used as a part of
registry procedure. Registering cat
tie is already an expense to the far
mer Only about one-fifth of the pure
bred dairy cattle in the country are
registered, mainly because of the
cost, although having cattle registered
is an advantage when it comes to sell
ing them. A buyer of unregistered
cattle takes a chance on his judge
ment and on the honesty of the owner.
He has no official knowledge of ami
mails pedigree or record.
If nose prints were added to the reg
istry system, the books of records
which are filed at the breeders as
ISOLATION headquarters would have to
be printed differently. A place for
the nose print to be pasted on would
have to be arranged and the record
keeping would be somewhat changed.
The result would probably to an in
crease in the cost of registering cat
tie. The cost of making prints to be
kept at home for his, own reference
would not be very expensive for a
cattle owner, however.
1t is claimed by some students that
