A well known Alliance man says
that the Kilpatrtck dam on Snake
Creek, twenty miles west of Alliance,
is in his opinion a nice place to fish,
but he'll be gol dinned If it's a good
place to swtm, especially when that
swim Is taken when totally unprepar
ed for it and when clothed in a bus
iness suit, Instend of the regulation

time he fishes from the dam he's
going to el: her put on a diving cos
tume or a bathing suit.

If the Semi Weekly Times will

has not been the ease Only a few
days ago It started to publish t h e

a couple of times, followed its fi. rul

An Alliance man who always has
a new one on the tip of his tongue
was standing In at Holsten's the ot It
er evening when the seat sale for
"Fun In a Cabaret" was running
heavy and it looked as if standing
room would be at a premium. Said
the Alliance man, "A Dutchman
stepped up to the box office at a
theatre and asked for seats. H e
was told that there was standing
room only for sale. 'Veil,' said he,
'Can you give me two standing
roortiB together?" "

"Any business that you cannot gH

hi five-year-old daughter asked;
' What are you writing, papa?"
"I am writing a sermon, my dear."
"How do you know what to write,

"Hod tells me what to write."
After watching her father a few
minutes, the little girl said:
"Papa, If God tells you what t o
write, why do you scratch some ot
