an account of our trip from Kalida,

the boat was unable to run over
the rapids, was caught by a swift
current of water, which carried it
down the river for quite a distance

the water went down and the boat
was lying on the bottom helpless.
The freight was unloaded and

outfit was a part of the freight.

T SUPPOSE foot ball. to a man, is
much the same as a bargain sale
to a woman-there is a big kick
i in both right from the start and
the mere thought of either makes
you feel young and healthy and full Of
enthusiasm.
For a sample, about this time every
fall George, that's my husband, tries
| to pull a Ponce de Leon and renew
his youth, the chief difference be-
| tween Ponce and George being that
| Ponce used to take a little sip from
| the fountain Of sulphur and George
| takes his from the fountain of learn
ing.
In other words, each autumn George
! goes back to college. During the
however, when he will attend the
ann. foot ball game between Goofnah
| University, where he went, and
Cuckoo College, that Joe Bush of
the Hawthorne Club got thrown out
of. And George always claims that
going to this big game makes him a
boy again.
Well, the other day I could see
where he was once moro preparing
to reduce his yrs. by this method
and to drag me along, in spite OF the
fact that the joyous outing always
leaves me 90 annums older; at least,
that Is so If the poet had the right
dope when he threw that one about
a woman is as old as she feels. But
1 am supposed to enjoy seeing the
dear old Alma martyred. which 1t
usually is, not having martyred the
sturdy hard boiled eggs OF Cuckoo
College or any other college In quite
some seasons. The Goofnah Thanks-
giving game generally leaves them
thankful they are still alive. II they
mist on being thankful for some
thing.
| Well anyways, tho fatal evening
! come when George looked up from
| the sporting page where there was a
| flock of photos of boys dressed In
odd pieces of mothers old quiiteo q
! bedspread, aviator's hats, golf stock
ings and other foot ball accessories
| sporting around in very un-Greek
poses, such as the back Of the LEFT
heel or the front of the right ear
we'll George looked up and says ah l
| see Yale and Harvard expect to play
again this year, or some such tecn-
nical remark, and then he added,
which reminds me, 1 put in an apph-
cation for our seats for tho CUCKOO
game, all right.
And I says good, them seats heeo
an application of some sort, they are
so hard and cold l pretty near oied
sitting on them last year. And
| George says well. these are gooo
| seats, they are in the cheering sector
! where we can tell by the noise who
| is ahead, and I got four personal
parking places on account the Joe
Bushes is going with US.
| Well, that was no shock to me
because 1 and Mabel Bush can al
| least talk about clothes or Rudolph
Valentino or something really inter
esting like that during the game, al.
