A local citizen decided that
when he died he definitely
wanted to take it with him. He
selected three friends and gave
the sum Of $4,000 with the
promise that they would place
all the money in his casket lust
before he was buried. The cit
izen finally succumbed. Fol-
lowing his burial. the three
friends met to compare notes.
Said one: II put all the money
IN. with the exception of So
600. There was ILLNESS in our
family" Said the second friend:
Il put in all tht money except
$4,000. My second mortgage
was due" The third friend
smiled benignly and stated:

didn't keep a dime. made
out a check for the entire sum
and placed it in the coffin, lost

4 few years ago wrote a
column about the fact that any
political candidate that l open
ly supported was doomed and
a long record of such defeats
proved it. Then came along
some strange quirks and at
least three candidates in a row,
in various places. won handily
when we offered our support.
Now politics isn't on my
mind today but football is. and
have a record of defeats in
that department just about like
the old time political record.

we have lost interest in wheth-

We unconsciously pull for
the Washington Redskins in

like a house a fire and won
two in a row, they folded like
an umbrella and have won only
one game since, that accident

the game.
On top of all this, I have
been an avid Cleveland Indian
baseball fan for 20 years and
with only a week to play in
the past season, they had a
two game lead in the American

nothing for the pennant, they
let Detroit win three i'm row
and the Yankees copied the
flag as usual.
