. It's easy this week.
We allus like the fall of the year,
when the chestnuts begin to ripen.
Captain G. E. Damewood at Hiram
last week said woman asked a small
colored boy his name.
George Washington, he said.
'I suppose you try to be like him ~
she said
Like who?"
George Washington.
ssWhy, lady, All KANT be nothin'
else. All is George Washington
DR.. Grady Gammage, presiding at
Rotary last week, said the absentest
mindedest professor he ever knew
when he went out in the morning
slammed his wife and kissed the door.
After the meeting, Rev. DR.. Rule OF
Phoenix, who was present, said the
nostest absent minded professional
guy he ever hearn tell of sunk three
times before he remembered that he
never did know how to swim.
DR.. Gammage said the second ab-
mindedest prof. he ever knocked
around with told his biology class he
would illustrate his talk with hive
frogs. He had brought two packages
to school, package of live frogs and
one of sandwiches for his lunch.
When he unwrapped the package he
brought into the classroom he found
it was the sandwiches. Rubbing his
stomach peEplexedly, he said:
ssWell, now, that's strange. In
sure | ate my lunch.
DR.. Gammage alleged that one of
Doc Tex Mackey's dental patients was
counting his money before Tex adj
ministered the gas and Tex told him
never mind paying IN advance, and
the patient explained that he didn't
intend to, he was only making sure
how much cash he had on him before
he became unconscious.
And then Grady took crack at Doc
Ploussard Seems a fellow Doc had
Just cut apart and stitched up again
was being entertained by convalescent
patients with accounts of things that
had been sewed up in them by mistake
and had to be dug out again. One fel-
Ter had been sewed around a sponge,
another around scissors -and then,
just as the patient Doc had operated
on was feeling pretty blue around the
gills, Doc stuck his head in at the
door and yelled:
HAS any one here seen my hat Z"
DR.. George Murdoch of Tempe
Teachers college, who spoke at the
Rotary meeting above allusioned,
said when he was back east and peo-
pie kept asking him things about Ari-
zona, he couldn't think up any yarns
big enough to satiate their credulity.
He told them it was so hot around
Phoenix when he saw fox chasing a
rabbit they were both walking. He
told them the petrified forest isn't
really that a-tall, but is just a group
of dinosaur bones. The dinosaurs
lived in the north and every summer
went to Yuma to lay their eggs in the
hot sand. The alleged petrified for
est was where lot of them died. The
Grand Canyon, he told them, was
nothing more nor less than groove
worn by the dinosaurs in their annual
pilgrimages south and back.
Il finally realized Dr. Murdoch
said, ssthat the widest hes | could tell
about Arizona didn't come up to the
truth about US"
Well, well, if here isn't Cordonnie
again! And this is contributed under
the title: "The Modern Miss
She's a wicked powder addict
And a devotee of rouge,
She's guilty of most every kind
OF facial subterfuge.
Her lips she paints vivid red
Thru cupid's-bow lip stencil,
And makes here eyebrows black as
coal,
By means of eyebrow pencil.
She's happy when she's dancing,
She does not scorn a kiss,
If | am not mistaken
She's an average Modern Miss.
