It's Joseph's
Laugh
BY BERTON BRALEY

BY BERTON BRALEY
Joseph was a business man whose
mind was very keen,
And during all the fat years, he fig
ured on the lean
So when the land of Egypt had
seven years of drought,
Why, Egypt had lot of grain-and
naught to fret about!
Joseph was a business man, as Bible
study shows,
He had the common sense to see a
bit beyond his nose;
For thousand years ago it was that
Joseph lived on earth,
Yet, when the years are opulent,
WE never plan for dearth.
When there are bread lines in the
streets, when men are unem-
ployed,
We say, This is sort of thing we
really cant avoid"
Perhaps we blandly cogitate that
something should be DONE"
But mostly we are helpless till the
famine's course is run.
And when the slump is over and
prosperity's returned,
We quite forget the lesson which we
should have fully learned;
We lay aside our plans to fight the
famine that was lurking,
For Whats the use of worrying
when everybody's working2"
Joseph was a business man who kept
his country fed,
Because he used the canny brains
he carried in his head;
But II the soul of Joseph ever looks
down from above us,
l don't think we'd be fiattered by his
frank opinion Of us!

BLACKWELL DEATH A MYSTERY

Mr.. Thos. J. Blackwell, OF 1906 Decd-
tur street painter. carpenter and an
all-round jobber, died last Sunday
morning under peculiar circumstan
ces.
IT seems that during the severe
wind. rain and electrical storm of Sat-
urday night Mr.. Blackwell went to his
place of business about three blocks
from his residence, to look after the
large number Of rabbits he was rails
ing. He managed to return home but
was unconscious when he was seated
and never spoke. simply groaned and
rubbed his head.
An investigation of his place where
the rabbits were, revealed the fact
that 16 young rabbits and old rab.
bits were cold in death as we'll as the
owner. 1t is the opinion of all that Mr..
Blackwell and the rabbits received a
severe shock from the electrical
storm.
His funeral took place Tuesday at
2:3O p. M. from First Baptist church.
Rev. w. L. Ransome officiating.
