Everyday Adventures

Thoughts OF A House For Sale
Its very pleasant out here il
the suburbs this time of year, but
/ must say it's lonely-very lonely.
I'd trade little of the scenery for
some company. This standing
around empty certainly gets on my
nerves.
And as for this For Sale sign
my owner has hung on the front
of met doesn't seem to bring
any more people in to look at me
than Small Pox sign. Nobodys
come near me for a month.
I'm a good looking house, too,
even If l do say it myself The
last family that lived with me
thought l was fine. But now no
body seems even to know that I'm
for sale. Pretty tough, l call 1t.
Here's a surprise! My owner
has just driven up with a number
of people. They're coming in to
look at me-this is exciting. They
seem to like me pretty well. Oh
boy!
"Sold-just like that, What's
that? The man who bought me
says that he's just been looking for
a house like me, but he didn't
know there was one on the market
till he say the little ad about me
yesterday in the Palladium's CLASH
fled Section. Well-that explains
everything"

was dismissed.
1t was literally "moonshine" whis-
ky that made trouble for Day. The
rays of the moon, shining on a jug Of
illicit liquor which had been set be-
hing a telephone pole on the road near
his home, resulted in his finding the
liquor which later proved his undoing.
THAT stuff made me crazy, l didn't
know what I was doing. hadn't had
