and it seemed to annoy him.

When Gained, McEvoy admitted
that the check was for greeting
card jingles he had written some
20-odd years ago.
1t seems that these cards are
among the record-breakers in the
greeting-card business because
they are hyper-sentimental and

Anyway, those checks annoy

I dressed between sneezes
and looked hopefully at the wife
every time I gave out a cough.
But she never moved. The least
she could have done, felt, was
to stop sleeping through my

at the very least, and she didn't
know a thing about it.

cough. You know all about
these things. w h a t should I

Forget it," was her helpful
advice. She rolled over and went
to sleep again.
I walked to the elevator with
a heavy step. This was fine con-

of death, what happens? 1 am

maligned and all points West.
The elevator on this particu-
lar morning was manned by my
good friend Whitley. I gazed at
him gloomily as the car shot
downward at the rate of a foot
q minute.
Whitley" I said, you're a
man and you under and
things. I am suffering with a
horrible cold. If it were Winter,
I'd know what to do. But this
is Summer. w h a would you
suggest, Whitey?"
"A good shot Of rye, sir" was
Whitey's reply.
I should have known that
would be the answer. A good
shot of rye is Whitey'S prescrip-
tion-not only for colds-but
for acme, epilepsy, bunions,
toothache, headache, stomach
ache, appendicitis and ingrown
toenailS.
I shook my head. "No rye,
Whitley" I groaned. Cant you
suggest anything else?"
He finally recommended qui-
nine, which sounded okay. So,
when we reached the ground
floor some 10 minutes later, I
went around to my favorite
store.
"Mr. Althan," I said, " I have
a summer cold. You can give me
some quinine."
The druggist shivered. I
thought the shiver came from
making so many cold salads.
But I was wrong again.
"Quinine!" he calculated.
"Quinine while you're walking
around? No, sir. I'll give you
some aspirin and a Benzedrine
Inhaler. That's much better"
I filled my pockets with
aspirin tablets and inhalers and
hired my usual cab. AS Charlie
was driving me to the barber
shop, I told him of my trouble.
He turned around, missing an
elevated pillar by two inches,
which is one inch better than
usual.
