Marty's Letter

\AO1lb41QCO 11Ol11 EdSC ~
the original Mister Five-by Five. On
the other hand his buddy, McSween-
ey, was built so that he could hire
out as model in a macaroni fac
tory.
They arrived at the scene of the
duel and Referee Sullivan gives
them each a pistol and seq, Nov
stand back to back, walk five PAGES,
turn around and fire.
wait minute now," sez my fat
uncle, that amt fair. There's too
little of that guy to hit and too
much of me. We gotta even it up
some way
That's easy" sez the referee,
and he took a piece of chalk out OF
his pocket and drew a line down
each side of my uncle's front about
a foot from the end on each side.
Now Sullivan sez to McSweeney,
you gotta hit him inside those lines
anything outside the lines don't
count"
Fair. enough" sez my uncle.
So they stood ready, back to back.
The referee gave the signal, and
they walked five PAGES, turned
around and let go, and believe it or
not their bullets met in midair
They probably couldn't do that
again in ten million tries-I don t
believe it either.
Anyhow, they were both so mad
they each picked up a chair and
started whaling the daylights out of
each other. just then a copper ap-
peared on the scene and took the
three of them-my uncle and his foe
and the referee-down to the can
and they we're brought before an
old beer drinking Dutchman,
"Chudge" Krausmitterffttel The
old judge sez, "Vots der sharges,
offizzer?"
The cop explained: "I hear a
couple shots and when I arrive on
the scene, this one an that one each
had chair in his hand and wuz
tryin' to bat hell out of each other.
And this other one wuz standin'
there laughin' to beat blazes.
Judge Krausmitterffttel turns to
Referee Sullivan and seZ, "You are
fine specimens. Wy ven you see dem
damn fools vot are friends beading
each odder NIT chair Wy don'd you
ztop dem?'
"How could I stop them?" asks
Sullivan. There weren't any more
chairs
ZACH, you crazy dumb Irishers,
always fightin'! like to know vot
is dumber dan a dumb Irisher?"
IT know" sez my uncle, "a smart
German"
My uncle didn't come home for
ten days.
Seriously, Duane, we hope your
wound is as slight as our chances Of
being cold sober next New Years,
and that your recovery will be as
speedy as we can make it to the
bar when someone hollers, "One for
everybody in the house,
Best regards,

Stock RaI|yStaI|s
And Many Leaders
Extend Decline
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Dec. ia few rails,
utilities and industrials negotiated
a modest recovery sortie in today's
stock market, but early advances
running to a point or more failed to
hold in the majority of cases and
many leaders eventually extended
their decline of the preceding Ses-
sion.
Handicapping the comeback was
the general buying timidity-trans-
fers of around 100000 shares were
among the smallest of the past two
months for a full stretch-together
with skepticism over the outcome
of Washington labor legislation and
the feeling that the drop of Wednes-
day was only small proportion Of
a much-needed technical correction
of the swing to 15-year average
peaks. Anticipated dividends earn
ings and the desire to employ idle
cash served as individual props.
Trends improved after a lower
opening with rails getting the prin-
cipal attention along with scat
tered aviations and thin" high
quoted industrials Steels and mo-
tors still were depressed by wage
controversies in these fields. While
plus signs were fairly we'll distrib-
uted at the close, numerous losers
persisted.
