Thinking up funny things for pub
lication has become an overworked
art. It's a great strain on the
imagination to see anything humor
ous in some of the stale Jokes per
petrated these days in the so-called
funny papers.
Some of the funniest things are in
cidents from real life, as an illustra
tion of which the following story is
clipped from a recent issue of The
Omaha Dally Bee:
The loud lamenting of a calf put
a sudden end to an impassioned bit
of oratory in the .superior court in
Council Bluffs yesterday.
The court occupies the council
chamber in the city building and the
calf was occupying a truck in the al
ley Immediately beneath the open
windows of the court room. The
case on trial was the suit of Fred B.
Peterson against the Non-parell Pub
lishing company growing out of an
automobile accident. Attorney Dick
son was representing the plaintiff
and D. E. Stuart the defendant.
Attorney Dickson had drawn out a
fine point of law and was atfuing rt
with fiery Impetuosity, addressing
his remarks chiefly to Attorney
Stuart. He had reached a critical
point and had paused with his finger
pointing at Stuart. There was in
tense stillness in the court room.
"What is your answer to that?
There can only be one answer," the
young. lawyer shouted. .
"Ba-a-a! Ba-ab.-ab.-ab.!" the calf
bawled. (
Judge Capell almost fell . off the
bench. The Jury screamed and
everybody In the court room was
convulsed With laughter. The at
torney eat down without . another
word, and the argument was ended.
The court had to order a recess be
fore the trial could procee d ,
reroclous Rhino.
The rhinoceros would be Jut at
formidable as the buffalo wore hln
sight as good. But he ha to go a bit
.'.'owly teen use of dependence on thf
sense of smell. Once wlthlu a few
yards of his object, where his wenk
eyes con distinguish It then look out)
Ills charge Is something terrible, and
the only safe plnce Is n tree. When
African natives are asked what anl
mnl they most fear, nearly all of them
do not hesitate to say the rhino:
Real Leisure.
Leisure Is time for doing something
useful. This leisure the diligent man
will oVsin, but the lazy never; for "a
life of leisure and a life of laziness
art two things." Benjamin Franklin.
Keep Teeth Clean.
An English physician has advanced
the theory that the Juices of the month
Ire Intended to keep the teeth clean,
lot to prepare food for digestion, as
jcnerally believed.
