ANANAAA ohC VI Tile WOISL dIBu-
ments that l ever heard two of
Aunt Haggar's Cailluns get into
got started when one of the broth
ers of-the-blood, using the Good
Book as his authority, said to his
regular arguing brother, Man, now
dare you go, you don't know what's
you talking about, | know, WHEN
1T RAINS HERE 1T RAINS EV-
ERYWHERE. This was one of
them arguments, dut to placing a
bet on the wrong side that almost
ended in mayhem if not something
worse but for the Intervention
of a more sagacious. mind who
made the decision to divide the
pledged spoils between the con-
tending brothers, which didn't do
either one any harm, but left them
right back where they got started.
Knowing them as | do, | wondered
why the brother who brought up
that subject didn't come forward
with one of the slick twists and
try to win that bet, but l guess he
did think that when it rains here,
it rains everywhere. While it
can't be done for the purpose Of
winning a bet. I was sitting down
waiting for my Falstaff beer and
hot fish and figured out how the
claim that when it rains here it
rains everywhere can be rational
lied, that is as far as concerns
Aunt Haggar's Chilluns. When
ever one of Aunt Haggar's Chill
luns gets into some trouble the
burden of which lays on him, all
the more heavy because he is one
of Aunt Haggar's Chilluns, lot
of us forgets we're Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns too, and sets back as far
as we can to keep out of the rain.
But don't you fool youralls self
by thinking that you're setting back
out of the rain, because when 1t
rains on one of Aunt Haggar'S
Chilluns it rains on all Of 'em
The more drunk my Falstaff
and ct ma fish, the more l figured
how that fellow could have won
that bet and kept on arguing that
WHEN 1T RAINS HERE -.
1T RAINS EVERYWHERE
because with Aunt Haggar's Chill
luns it show do. -.
A MAN IN THE TOWN: That
handsome white-haired six-footer
that has attracted everybody's at
tention as he went about Up and
Down the Old Avenue and out IN

Der one citizen of Port Arthur,
Tex, who is in town to look after
his mother. who has heen i'll lately.

SOMETHING THAT MADE
Me LAFF but only after 1t
didn't make me cry My wl1e'
Mrs. Frances, went to the doctor
the other week and got prescrip-
ton. She attended school at
Straight College, now billiard Uni
versity. After taking the medicine
a while she started breaking out IN
bumps She took another look
at the medicine bottle, and 10 and
behold she had been taking the
medicine three times per day

WEEK.
WHAT THE HEP KATS ARE
SAYING: That local big-timer
that's telling some of his friends
that he and his wife have come to
a property settlement and agreed
to separate is just talking to hear
hisself talk and to see their eyes
pop open. ;.
WEEKLY QUOTATION: "When
society is perishing, the true adj
vice to give those who would re-
store it is to recall it to the prin-
ciples from which it sprung
