ooh, shucks," said one Dannie to
the other Dannie, "let's not go to the
! show tonight; let's go somewhere and
shoot pool"
Just after Jim Rupe of Maine
bought him car, he got stalled about
five miles from home. Another man
came along and stopped to investi-
gate "All she needs is some more
gas" he told Jim.
Nothing doing" Jim retorted. II
gave this blame thing five gallons of
gas day before yesterday and she
don't get another darned drop until
tomorrow"
Up at scohol the other day the kid
dies were singing that touching little
ditty:
Good morning, dear teacher, we're
all in our places, with bright shining
faces"
"But then, of course said one of
the eighth grade girls, "the poor lit
tie things have an excuse for shiny
faces. They're too young to be car
rying vanity cases"
No, there is nothing dead about
this office. It is merely an odorif-
erous section of limberger cheese that
H. F. Bowman had embalmed in Wis
consin and sent to us hermetically
sealed. The embalming had no eff
feet and when we opened the package
it nearly got away from u.s. We let
M. M. Gear take a "whiff" of it and
his nose began to turn up, his eyes
water, and his profanity almost got
loose, but didn't. Then we let VIM.
Rosebrough take snort" and it al
most restored his hearing. He eau
toned US not to have the paper smell
ing like that, but if he will smell this
item he'll find we could not help it.
Miss Kathryn Dilley came by at an
opportune time and we proffered her
a "draw' at the odor-well, Miss
as much as she does the cheese. Paul
Erbaugh, full of pep, was the next
victim, and, honestly, he came near
knocking our block off. But, we we're
recompensed by letting s. C. Falcon
burg and Raymond Langohr take
Smell" Instantly the saliva began
to flow out the corner of their
mouths, their eyes sparkled and hold
ing the hand aloft as many were won't
to do in pre- Volstead days, they blew
imaginary foam off an imaginary
schooner, and begged US to let them
have "just one bite" We couldn't
think of that for we are hunting more
trouble and if about three of our
friends turn their backs long enough
we'll have some Of the stuff in their
pockets before they know it, and then
summon the board of health, which is
Edward Rivers, and see if we can't
have them arrested for maintaining
nuisance. Bourbon (Ind.) News-Mir-

There is a wonderful consciousness
and blessing in fellowship, confidence
and responsibility in bringing togeth-
er life to life. And / believe this
would bring infinitely bigger and bet
ter results than injecting tuberculin
rot into cows tails at so cents per
head. "Bear We one another's bur-
dens and so fulfill the law of Christ"

Which will serve as little study
in climax and anti-climax for the

In the "Among the Colored Peo-
pie" correspondence, which is written
by a colored man for Virginia news
paper, was the following last week:
"They are getting ready to produce
in New York play, All Gods Chill.
luns Got Wings In this play beau
.tiful white woman falls in love with
an intelligent colored man, marries
him, and, kneeling, kisses his hand. A
white woman and colored man will act
the parts. This play is said to have
been written by the greatest play
wright in America. For the sake of
my race this play should be stopped.
It will do no good, but much. harm
by stirring up race prejudice. If this
play ever gets down south here all
Gods Chilluns" in the play who have
not got wings had better get them,
for they will be needed"
