The Coconino sun., 1924-03-28

"Nope; the durn snake done it a
purpose"
"What tragic things some of the
papers print nowadays" means Bob
Stevenson. Bob had just got paper
from back in Wisconsin and on the
front page, prominently displayed,
was the following item:
Gamma Bixler's dog got lost Sun
day evening and while the former was
out looking for the latter, the dog
came home without Anna"
They shouldn't oughter let paper
that prints things like that circulate
around where young innocent minds
can read it and get polluted.
Hint to would-be shieks: kissing
girl is like opening a bottle of olives
the trouble is usually experienced
getting the first one.
Mourning the passing of short
skirts? !? Not us; our memory's good.
Walter Durham says the worst
break he ever made was one time he
had been sent out to the cross roads
near his home to wait until the new
preacher, who was coming to his home
to eat Sunday dinner, got there, the
idea being that the preacher didn't
know the way to Walters home and
Walter was going to show him.
Tho r1roo 0hoY xnpIu WqItQT was
waiting for him. He drove and drove
and didn't see any small boy Finally
he turned around and had driven back
quite a distance when he saw Walter.
The preacher introduced himself.
'sI saw you when you druv past the
first time," Walter said, "but you was
drivin' two horses an that fooled me-"
"Why? ?" asked the preacher
Because dad said you was one
horse preacher"
Gorrell, colyum conductor and gen.
eral not-so-darn-much on the Bremen
Indiana Enquirer, like we are on this
palladium, got a series of chuckles
when he wrote the following legiti-
mate news item for his paper:
miss Lucy Ford of Cadillac has
been spending the past week as the
guest of Miss Wilma Packard at 634
Hudson street"
Girls, have you heard the latest
song? It's just the beautifulest
thing. The first line runs: "Aspirin,
oh Aspirin, my head aches for you."
A national forest official in Arizona
sent claim to Washington for "dam-
ages done to an automobile while
travelling on the rim between Bakers
Butte and Leonard Canyon, distance
of 27 miles,"
The solicitors office disallowed the
claim with the following comment: It
appears he drove his machine on the
rim for 27 miles. No reason is given
why the car was driven on the rim.
1t is inferred that it was by reason of
a punctured tire. This constitutes
negligence"
The daily bulletin OF. the southwest
ern district of the national forest
comments on the case as follows: GAS
far as known the Mogollon rim, Ari-
Zona's second greatest geographic
feature, which has been made famous
in many stories and movies by Zane
Grey, has never heretofore been so
maligned. Further, this is one rim
that as far as we know has never
been fitted with a tire"
Here lies the body of Benjamin Cobb;
His death was too sad for descrip-
ton.
He died meath the feet of mad
rushing mob,
When he carelessly dropped his pre-
scription.

Dad was fishing from the boat,
Will fell out and failed to float.
Father said, when he found out:
"Darn that kid! He's scared the
trout"
FRANK FAIRCHILD.
A fool there was and he saved his
rocks, even as you and L; but he took
them out of the old strong box when
a salesman called with some wildcat
stocks, and the fool was stripped down
to his socks, even as you and l.
