Altitude

"Do you know" said matronly fox
to her husband up at the fur farm
yesterday, 81 am beginning to like Red
Lodge even if they do keep us penned
up. | feel so frisky when I take a
drink of this pure water that / could
dance. Then too, / like the scenery
around here and the air is simply
wonderful. The old father fox glanc-
ed at his 19 children, scratched him
self and looked into the far distance.
He was born and raised on Prince Ed
wards Island and was lonesome for a
good mess of CLAIMS and sea weeds.
"Oh, | don't particularly dislike it, he
said, But this altitude is little too
high. 1t effects my heart and I don't
sleep like | should. She regarded
him coldly and then spoke her mind.
Listen, she said you're just like
the human men down town. They are
always talking about their hearts and
they blame all their ailments on the
altitude. They stay up to all hours,
hurt their eyes trying to draw another
ace to match the one they have in the
hole, go home at all hours and lie to
their wives. Merchants are always
taking inventories, lawyers have i'm
portant engagements, Doctors are out
on call It's the old story of lack of
sleep and those nighthawks think they
can lay it to the altitude. Men are
always like that, they never sleep as
they should.
Father fox lost his temper at that
point, "Where are their wives during
all that time" he asked. "Are they at
home peacefully snoozing as they
should be? Well, hardly. Like as not
they're not yet home when their men
do get there" And, so far into the
night.

Bunker Hill

One hundred fifty one years ago
today occurred the battle of Bunker
Hill. We got a little the worst of it
that morning as several of our boys
hadn't had breakfast when the trouble
started. Then too, we ran out of
powder early in the fray and tried to
stop 'em with niger head rocks and
dubbed muskets which resulted in
raising vast number of goose eggs
but those hard headed visitors from
across the sea were used to that and
didn't mind it much. Many of them,
you see, had just completed military
service in Ireland where clubs and
brickbats are the chief weapons. Our
boys didn't run--History is wrong
about that-they hurridly retreated
instead and it is consoling at this
late date to truthfully declare that
our score was higher than theirs when
the final count was made So, in q
way we profited by what proved to be
