I have a lot. to tell you, 80

I could find the dorms blind

a hot-bed in disguise, and the man
who's sitting pretty 10 the one

sent the bills to father; then
jumped a south-bound freight, and
spent the first night groaning IN
q box-car full Of slate.
Now I'm way-down south In :
Texas, where the oil wells serve
for trees; where the devil brought
his sunshine and the Lord for
got His breeze; where the white
lands burn and blister and the =
black.lands bake and parch, and ~

naught to do with starch; where
the cactus-plant can flourish, and =

~ EOPLE who are Ill seldom

He has every sickness known

they discover some new ones
he'll have those, too.
Fifty years ago the doctor. told
him he cOuIdn't live week and
he's still going to the same doc

Of-course, this doctor was an

would ever miss it by forty.nine
years.
He was this fellows family

FURY among such good friends.
Just because you didn't die,
you don't like to blame it, on the
doctor.
Maybe il wasn't his fault any
way, the chances are he did
everything he could.
You can't sue him for your
death before you die and after
you're dead It's too late.
But this bird keeps going back
% the doctor, hoping that he'll
get wei or something.
Pretty soon this fellow goes
cut Of the waiting room and a
woman comes in and starts COM
planning about her appendix.
She can't understand why It
bothers her when she's had II cut
out three times.
After she gets through talking
about her appendix she starts on
her tonsils.
You're sitting there all the
time hoping that the doctor win
come cut and call for her before
she gets to her adenOids.
Then some dame comes In com.

her husband, who is with ner,
tells the rest Of the people in

Another woman who has lived

You hear 30 many other pa

FRENCH OCCUPY MINES
Detachment of Engineers, Escorted by Troops, Take Over Properties at Emschelippe in Gelse1lkirchen Area.

Essen, March 8 (By Associated Press) The government owned coal mines at Emschelippe in the Gelsen- kirchen district were occupied today by French engineers, escorted by a detachment of troops with tanks, This is the ninth mine in the Ruhr taken over by the French and Bel gians. Thirty thousand tons of coke and great piles of coal were seized. The French engineers found that the Germans in expectation of the occupation had taken away parts of the plant machinery. The German mine director was ordered to have these returned. He disclaimed any knowledge of the disappearance in sisting they must have been taken by the workmen. He was placed under arrest.
 Several thousand miners employed at this plant went on strike imme- diately, the troops appeared.
