CRAZY HORSE
Story making the rounds
concerns an imaginary horse
who could run the mile in lag
at the London Fair Grounds.
Seems that Doc McMillen had
hit the jackpot with horse
that nobody could beat. How
ever, the stakes being small
locally, Doc decided to take
him up to the big leagues and
did so only to find that the
horse (wh h m We'll call
"Dreamboat" ran SO slow
that Doc had to bring him
back to the barn with a flash
light. Not knowing what else
to do, Doc finally took him to
an equine psychologist whose
verdict was simply-"Nothing
really wrong with old Dream
boat, Doc he's just got a
one-track mind!
SURPLUS
And then there's the one
about the lion who escaped
from the Washington, D. c.
ZOO. He holed up in the Penta-
gon and lived there two years
before he was found. When he
was returned to the ZOO anoth-
er lion asked him how he man.

a mistake and took a bite out

DIFFERENCE
You can always spot mar
ried mamie always turns his
back when he opens his wal
let.
DoG-GoNE
Smiths dog came racing up
the street pursued by a pack
of snarling pooches bent on
the little NUTS destruction.
Jones said, Smith, that dog of
yours is sure cowardly"
Smith replied, "Ain't nothin'
of the sort-that dog of mine
is lust a natural born leader"
PoLLYTlcks
Politics makes strange bed
fellows-so goes the saying.
Fact is, it seems that a lot of
them prefer bunk.
HUMNN!
Juvenile delinquency increas-
es by the same ratio as gar
ages are replaced by wood
sheds.
BEAUTY
Foreigners are always in
trigued with our Indian names
and many know lot of them.
Last year in England a new
friend told us that she was
quite a student of American
Indian lore. AS proof she cited
such beautiful names as Al
gonquin, Seneca, Ottawa, Wy
andotte, Shawnee, Delaware,
Huron, Chippewa, Miami, Iro-
quois and Onandaga. Indian
names have music in them and
the very sound brings back
the past" she said. We agree.
TELEvisIoN
To our mind one of the bet
ter television programs now
being offered in this area is
the Mike Wallace Interview"
Seen on Sunday evenings at
nine o'clock on Channel 6, the
interviews are the best we've
seen and Mike Wallace is a
superior reporter who seems
to have what it takes to bring
his subjects out into the open.
Thus far we have seen his in
terviews with Mickey Cohen,
Gloria Swanson, the head of
the Ku Klux Klan and others
of a more or less controversial
status. For a quick half-hour,
we recommend Mike Wallace.
OVERHEARD
Overheard in manhole was
this "She's not exactly the
old-fashioned type-she's just
out of datesi"
oDDiTY
Why is It that the very peo-
ple who have the biggest
mouths always indulge in the
smallest talk?
LIVING
Loving mothers are apt TO
be a sleepy lot-they lose so
much of it waiting up for the
children to come home so that
they can kiss them goodnight.
COMPETITION
Couple of enterprising mer-
chants had stores side by side.
One day, one put up a sign
which said. IF you need it
we have it," Next day this ap-
peared on the other store i. .
"If we don't have it-you don't
need it"
TIT
And as one red corpuscle
said to the other-"Will you
marrow me, darling, or have
I loved in vein 2"
LAST WORD
The national budget has got
ten to the place where we
can't bulge It!
