1882, 1882, 1882, 1882, 1882, Mon
day, January a, 1882; Tuesday, jan
uary 5, 1931-slips; 1882 will win out
eventually; just give it time. Have
you received check yet dated 1881,
or aren't you receiving checks just at
! this time?
There's absolutely nothing on my
mind this week, and that's one state
ment with which you can readily
agree, but you needn't get nasty about
it and claim that it's a weekly oc-
currence. Anyhow, Philip F. Bow
man, of Accident, doesn't think it is
empty every week, for here's letter
from him: owe are sending you a
check for your paper last year and
please send it another year. We sure
do like the paper, especially Scoops
column"
Now there's a fellow after my own
heart, who knows what he is talking
about and isn't afraid to admit it.
We have with US again the elpan-
&C for 1882 which gives one informa-
ton on everything from planting
seeds only on certain days to getting
married in the light of the moon. 1t
contains the mental and physical tor
lures of Mrs. Daniel, 81 was a nerv-
Gus wreck" Zilch; the backache of
Henry, 81 couldn't sleep at nights"
Runemragged; and the rheumatism
of Mrs. AMI, 81 suffered agonies,"
McTwitch, who were really in bad
shape and suffered quite bit more
than somewhat until they had taken
four bottles of these contra-pain and
nervitis tablets. Their shapes were
never anything to brag on, according
to Archibaldson, which is one thing
the almanac doesn't tell you. (Their
photos tell you that).
Our supply of calendars has also
arrived, but they aren't as numerous
as they used to be, or as varied in
pictures. In fact, the pictures are
rather scarce. Outside of George
Washington's picture on Frederick
Thayer's, and the end of the bear hunt
on Bill Browning's, there isn't any
more.
A man in Virginia the other day
tainted when he paid his taxes. The
boss editor might faint if some folks
came to the Office and paid their bills.

Did you know Q'll bet you did,
That had difficulty in getting Is
two-cent stamps at the postofice last
Thursday evening, because the new
Washington stamps were going on
sale the following day and they were
trying to come out even on their old
ones.
That Bill Browning had his own
number drawn at the dance Thursday
night which won the turkey. It would
not have been so bad if he hadn't been
holding the box from which the girl
drew the number.
That in a restaurant in Davis is
this sign: eff you have nothing to
do, don't do it here"
That time is good healer but a
poor beauty doctor.
That a man tainted when it came
time to say, 81 WILL" in a marriage
ceremony.
That every time I get telephone
call B. and o. freight train comes
along and I can't hear the party talk
ing.
That a band of gypsies was here
last week, the first I ever saw in Oak
land in the winter time.
That the Oakland Pharmacy clock is
being repaired, because the Amalga-
mates protested that they must know
the time of day, even if they aren't
going anywhere.
That somebody lost his hat at the
dance last Thursday and sent the
people in charge of the bazaar bill
for five dollars.
That a man from Baltimore asked
Turk Shartzer the other day where
Second street was, and he didn't know
after living and working on that
street since he was kid.
That my prize apples which have
graced the desk of the boss editor
since fair time, are getting wrinkles
as big as those on Archibaldson's
forefront.
That Willie Davis has returned to
Oakland from Chicago.
That I never saw so much to eat at
one meal as was put before me and
