Mr.. Hillary P. Crunch of
no further than Brightwood, IS
today's most irate subscriber.
Mr.. Crunch, it appears, is pos
sessed of a rich and ailing
uncle whose demise has been
hourly expected and hoped for
these many weeks.

who didn't look like a Con-
federate veteran because he

"Hilarity Curnch?" asked
this shop-worn Mercury. "Mes'

"My good man, l fear this
is distressing news" said Mr..
Crunch. "You are in the pres
ence of Death, the angel OF
terror. Please remove your haS
and here's a quarter and a
thousand thanks"
There was no need to awaken
Mrs. Crunch. Her inqulsitiVe
chin already caressed the up
per banister. The seven little
Crunches were reused, trotted
downstairs and warned against
decimating the Cruel and toast
until Crunch, pere, had OWNED
the ominous portent of that
message.

possible to a woman visualizlng
a new fur coat; the youngest lit
tie Crunch said "Brujlkbrrupx"
which no sooner uttered than
brought forth a snappy and
timely "Etaoinn Shrdllu" from
the next youngest Crunch.
Well, one word bid fair to lead
20 another when suddenly the
elder Crunch swooned and,
reaching for support, upset
aate of cruel. Thin Cruel at
that. Imagine!
"What is it daddy?" asked
the fourth youngest Crunch.
