More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE SNAKE

The snake has neither legs nor arms,
He's wholly destitute of charms
j Ri
Which in so many beasts suffice
To make us fancy they are nice.
=.
When he proceeds from spot to spot,
He cannot walk or fly or trot
But crawls through vale and over
hummock,
Upon his long and Scaly stomach
Which is a method of progressing
That you and I would find distressing.
He has to forage everywhere
To find daily bill of fare
And search about with hungry eyes
For gophers, mice, and rats and flies
A dietary which I'll state s
One can't regard as delicate.
And so, if every now and then
The snake grows envious of men
And bites em when they interfere
With his apodical career
We ought to think what we would do
If we were humble serpentS, too
Were we both legless, scaled and thin
I'm sure we should behave like him.

SOME POINTS NOT
ON THE COMPASS

Now Columbia professor has dis
covered that brunettes are more emo
tional than blondes. Could it have
been that fact that made the blondes
the favorites with gentlemen, as it
has been alleged they are?
The death OF Hughie Jennings, long
one of the big men in organized
baseball and always a favorite with
the fans, ends a picturesque career
in the world OF sports. He had
been up in the pictures in that sport
for more than a third Of a century.
He had not been in the game actively
since his health gave way in 1928.
'Ketcham farm relief bill! Well,
it looks like they've got the medicine
for campaign purposes now,' said
old Doc Sorghum as he laid aside

ever heard for farm relief bill

desire in the case to the court he
said that he had "got along as best
he could with the name Souri-you
can pronounce it sour eye he told
the court and he wanted to try a
change. After reading the new name
those accustomed to studying names
are convinced he must have made
a careful study of directories to think
out a name that had never been
used.
An enthusiastic San Franciscan
"broke into jailH the other day by
the use OF wise crack" according
to press dispatches. He was asked
by the court, TN what state were
you born?" and he Immediately re-
piled, ''The state OF intcXication, and
I intend to stay there YOU'RE
wrong" said the judge. "You will
be in state of incarceration for
the next 60 days" and the prisoner
was ordered locked up
In it's report recently made, the
advisory committee on burial survey
states that both the public and the
undertakers are to blame for the
high cost of dying, or, putting it
another way, for the high cost OF
funerals. The average funeral cost,
considering SO states, is 1AIJ at 1858
while taking cities alone, the average
is highers Philadelphia leads with
an average of $442 The COMMITTEES
urges that pastors, probate courts,
insurance companies and civic and

to keep down funeral costs.

PISS HOHLT
CASE TO JURY
Closing Arguments Today in
Robbery Trial.

Criminal court jurors this after
noon were to receive the auto
banditry and robbery case against
Lloyd Amos, "a, of 61712 North Illi-
nois street, after a three-day trial.
Amos is charged with participating
in the attempted hold-up Of the
F. w. Hohlt & Son dry goods
store, 1899 Kentucky avenue.
Closing arguments were made by
state and defense attorneys this
afternoon. The jury was to get the
case shortly after p. m.
Otto Price and Carl Kittrell, two
of the bandits, we're shot by police
while Amos was captured in his
automobile as he attempted to
escape. Herman Armfield, one OF
the robbery gang, had informed po-
lice of the attempted robbery.
The defense rested its case early
this morning and the state called
several rebuttal witnesses, including
Mrs. Kittrell, and four local news
paper men. Amos also was recalled
to the stand to answer additional
questions but he did not deviate
from his story that he did not parti-
cipate in the robbery plans and
that he did not sign any confession.
