LESSON?
r EMEMBER the case in the news
journals short while ago OF the
fellow who checked out of a down.
town hotel via the window, taking
along the radio and neglecting to see
the cashier before he left?
Well, few days later at the same
hotel an overnight guest stopped at
the desk to pay his bill, was told he
could leave his suitcase in his room
if he called for it before s O'clock
So he left it. decided also to pay his
bill later when he called to pick up
the luggage
Later in the afternoon he returned,
sent bell boy up after the bag and.
in a hurry so that friends in a. car
outside wouldn't be kept waiting. just
walked out. A week later he got
bill for three days rent at the hotel
Took them that long, 1t seems, TO
discover he had left
Apparently the fellow who went out
the window did not teach them 4
lesson.

TREED.
HENDRICKS, sister Of
Genevieve Hendricks. the in
terror decorator. is something Of a
farmerette over In Montgomery Coun-
ty. Among other things, she raises
pigs. The pigs give her lot Of trou-
BILE. They keep getting out Of their
pen and running to the woods . mile
or two away. And when the pigs run
away Marjory has to 60 boar hunt
ing; and when she goes hunting the
porkers she wears . special costume
for the occasion. We don't know
why, but it's fetching affair. con-
sisting of brown overalk and q bright
red shirt. (She wears shoes, too,, If
anybody is ready to raise = question)
Couple of days ago she was in the
midst of one of these searches when
she saw two large animals, with mean
looking hooked horns. lowering their
heads, leering at her. Having no
Spanish matador in her blood and
thinking Of the red shirt she dived for
the closest tree. Safe among the
branches, she looked down to see
field hand haw-hawing for all he was
worth.
