back left void in some homes that is somewhat
hard to understand For in some homes it's evening
arrival had so become a part of the daily schedule
that its absence leaves niche that is hard to fill
with others. There a genuine regret in the

In some cases the feeling became acute that it
rvaled the break that might be caused by skipping
the evening meal. OF course in others 1t matteret
little; for downright indifference marked its
passing. But it goes to show just what little things
go to make daily routine. Breaks and changes
from the status quo are difficult to accept even IN

One of the early years families in this town
were the Boobars. And one of it's representatives
J. j. Boobar, now Of Washington, D. c.. landed into
the archives of the local library last week with a
photo and brief sketch of his life. Informed that
his letter republished in the Herald that copy
would be sent to him. Mr. Boobar grew nostalgia
in his answering note. "Of course shall be most
pleased to receive copy of the Herald which con-
tains any mention of my sending photograph to
the Bryant Library Assn. for I have not as yet
outlived the pleasure of seeing my name in print
occasionally. 1 recall many, many happy recollec-
tons OF the Sank Centre Herald, even back to the
days of Joe and Sam Simonton, and Charley Hen
dryx. Charley Hendryx' regime is responsible for
making a veritable devil (printers), with its
attending initiation into the mysteries of type lice
and other attractions connected with the dear old
Hoe hand press days Yes, once pied an upper rack
for Billy Henshaw" 74-year-old Mr.. Boobar went
beyond his deving days in the print shop. He
was appointed in 1900 to become librarian for the
House of Representatives, post he held for eleven
years.
Digging into the correspondence that comes to
the desk occasionally, find one from former resi-
aent the Rev Royden j. Mott, heading an
Episcopal Church in Lakewood Ohio thought his
comment on his work in Cuyahoga county Jail where
he has been appointed chaplain an interesting look
IN on the work of parson carrying the Gospel to
the other man. He writes, explaining that he
holds fortyfive minute service there each SUNDAY
afternoon: They are the toughest crowd have ever
had the privilege to preach the Gospel to- but they
do listen to it. Perhaps seventy per are Negro,
and 1t is amusing the way of those black BOYS
lean forward and take in the Preached Word One
black boy seemed to be enjoying himself so much
last Sunday that one would almost think I was
holding up before him prospects of fried chicken
and watermelon instead of the prospects of Life
Eternal. But remembering Green Pastures, perhaps
he was transatng the into terms of Celestial
Fish Fries and Ice Cream Picncs. The Negro relig-
ous, as have also found out at the city hospital
where there are great many brought in charity
cases."
There is romance in the history of nearly every
thing. Adventures have punctured nearly every
known field, and the curious little thngumabobs
that arise like smoke from strange fire are
ing OOuIeS In any perSOnallZeQ history. Pipe SmOk-
ing itself is not without its romance these few
notes will testify Pipes have been fashioned from
every conceivable material from alabaster to dam
ascened steel, not to mention cocoanut shells and
lobster claws. There is legend to support the
conjecture that Daniel Boone himself might have
been the first to stick reed into his rudely-
followed Missouri cob of Birth of the Missouri

consternating the White House staff in those rough
old days. In the year 1919 ninety English maids,
young and incorrupt," sailed for America to become
wives of Virginia planters. Testament to the prodi-
gious worth of tobacco in those days is the fact
that each valued at 120 pounds OF the smoking
weed Two years later, sixty more young ladies'
came and were doubtlessy filled with pride to learn
the ante had been raised their pretty heads to
$50 pounds of this finest Virginia leaf And so

hand in hand.
Way down in oologah, Oklahoma where the
newspaper 1.-The Oozngs" fairly drips the salty humor
we like to associate with the south and west, Wild
Hoss Cholly the Common'Tater, has busted out of
his corral And your Yankee correspondent may have
to take to the underbrush. He starts off maddern
hornet on accounta your correspondent wrote about
the Choly fellow. Says he is going about sep
aratin his shaving razors from the ones he uses
for sociabe purposes. Dummy, my collar feels aw-
fully tight about now.) He says he is one of
those old unreconstructed Confederate niggers and
his grandpappy was body servant 10 MarSe VIII VINO
was killed at Gettysburg. And conclude that the
mention of Yankee to Wild Hoss Cholly is like way
ing the red flag before the bull At any rate, Emile
hand me down my fowlin' piece, which my great
great granddaddy carried in the Revolutionary War
so I'll be all set for this Confederate Well I'll
be hawgtied and drug behind horse, If Cholly ddn
melt about the last paragraph. He mas gone pack 10
his shaving razors, and the crisis has been avered
Know what brought about his change OF heart!
Shucks, 1t easy. I just invited him up to go
fishing Now mention water and fish to those Okla
Romans and their tongue stretches out a mile. Only
kind of fish they know is mudcats down thar which
up here we don't monkey with. So Cholly when you
come fishing up here bring along block and tackle
It's standard equipment. q. When do we start!
Any time Mr.. Cholly any old time.
