| everybody belonging to the veg

| Sunday forenoon and did so much
| good that it was deemed advisable
| to defer holding the childrens day
service until next Sunday evening.
Probably before we get another
| grist into the print shop, the presi-
| dent Of the conference, Rev Rosen-
| berger, will have been here, on his
| annual visit to this circuit, and not
| only fill the pulpit, but preside at a
| quarterly conference. This will be
about July 1st.
We are queered to know who Mrs.
Geo. Berscht of Wenatchee, can be?
| We were in that town in 1915,
| eating big apples, and viewing the
orchards from Saddle Rock" noun
| tain, etc. She must be native of
Morgan county. We also claim cit
izenship over there, having all the
| way of 16 acres Of dirt and it was
the birthplace of our faithful wife,
| Ella Dickinson, now deceased.
Our old Model T, known as cold
Trusty,' or puddle Jumper took
down the road one day recently
seemingly miraculously to keep be-
| tween the fence rows, but ruthlessly
running over many of the small
creeping things of the earth, and
| never stopping until directly in
front of the Walters house,-the
house of the Reinersville sage. He,
like Byron Ray of Bristol, township,
expects to write history of Man
chester township. These histories
will in time, find place in the
| archives of the historical museum at
Columbus While we were there
and the shuttle-cock of converse
ton was running at 240 rate, we
learned that our old friend, B. F.
Brown, had made his escape out OF
California, and was being harbored
in the adjoining house, the home OF
his only sister, Mrs. Emma Tan
nehill He was the seventh son in
the Brown family, but lays no
| claim to any strange, occult-poWer.
| When we got released from Ben and
made it to the old Christman place.
| and gave Johny Bell the once over,
the sun was glinting the hill-tops on
| it's westward course.
| No, no, Byron, Johny Bell, and
yours truly, were the exception to,
"the good die young" We both had
/ good mothers whose daily lectures
happened to leave their impress up
on our lives SO that some of the
vices and misdemeanors, which bJ
constant indulgence, would seem, OF
appear to be respectable, were just
| what our parents said they were
| Another hand-Out, please.
i One day last week while in the
old store-room, lolling in our i'm
provised easy chair, eyes partly
closed, mouth Gaping open, slob-
bers piling up on the fore-castle OF
our old patched-up chambray shirt,
there was a rap at the door, when
| James, the butler CD went to the
hole the carpenters purposely left.
and, 10 and behold! there stood
/ Byron, the scribe of Meigs, and
Hamer Wilson in our august, for
lorn, and uncouth presence. Words
| of cheer, pleasant memories, and a
bright prospect TO rural electrifica-
/ ton, soon took the place of drowsi-
ness, laziness, and languor vanish
/ ed. Come again boys.
It is our privilege at reunions
and various social functions to par
take of a cafeteria lunch, or dinner.
| To our way of thinking this is the
| ideal way to serve food, but there is
| one thing we would like to say, but
| we are halting between two decis-
| ions,-to say, or not to say. But
it's in our system, and we want to
get rid of it and we have decided to
| say it anyway We don't owe you
anything except good will, and
/ whether it be brick-bats, rolling
| pins, or overdue eggs, We'll try to
| grin and bear it. Look out now,
| it's going to come! AS we said, we
| like the cafeteria way OF feeding
the hungry, but one thing we do not
like, particularly pertaining to sand
wiches, and they are most always in
| evidence Look out! we're right up
to it now-we positively do not like
to see folks pick them up and open
/ them with their fingers, and II
| whatever is sandwiched don't suit
them, lay it down again. Who wants
to eat that one after seeing you
lingering it? I'll be doggoned if we
do Maybe we are just too per
| snichety." Now, we are not blam-
! ing you for not wanting to know
what the content of the sandwich
is, but when the surgeon takes out
your appendix he will use sterilized
| instruments, and when you are seiz-
| ed with a desire to dissect ques-
| tionable sandwich, undoubtedly you
| will have in your hand knife, or
fork, or both, we'll, thus equipped,
| why not use them on the doubtful
sandwich? "Fingers were made be-
