He said. yep. I make 'em out

they keep good time. too
At Thanksgiving Day dinner
for oldtimers, 18 months later
Myrtle noticed Billings Sitting
across from him. He said:

Not until the winter of 1897 did
the pair meet again. Billings said
to Myrtle as he passed him in the

Sure does. That's the trouble
around here, If a fellow isn't care
full he gets so he loses all con-
ception of time. What kind of a
