FOUR THE ALLIANCE HERALD. FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1921 RANDOM SHOTS An Alliance youth, iuarrelinsr with Ms sweetie, bescechcd her thusly: "Let's kif and make up." And this J whit 'b 'old him: "If you're care ful, 1 won't have to." How Come? George ItulT, the veteran cu.-iod!an ot tijua cemetery, was Hked the other day about the locnfnn of a cer tain crave. He gave ofT hand minute direct. ons for Touching it. The in quirer expressed surprise at the readi ness of the information. "Oh," said Mr. Huff, deprecating!)-, "the folks out here don't move around fcs much as they do downtown." The most dastardly thieves on record n the follows who stole two ukeleles from an automobile in Lincoln. Just Vrhy anyone should park ukeleles !n an automobile is a mystery, but offhand we should say that anv car containing two of the things ought to be robbed, just as any house with two phono graphs deserves like treatment. Maybe Kverett True Is on the war Jath again. Whv do women ask advice? A friend innuired of us how much ice cream eight small boys could rnt, sind -wanted to be sure that all of them would have enough. We gave her a conservative estimate of a gallon. She decided a quart and a half would he sufficient. We'll leave it to the first eight boys we meet. Lucky she didn't ask us how much ice cream would give eight small boys the tummy-ache. The chemists have a term which they use in similar cases the "point of saturation." Poc Reynolds used to say that he had often been satur ited with ham and cabbage, that is, hcl had nil he could eat but ihut he never had all he wanted. Our point of saturation for riblugo Is the same as for carrots we're al ways there. We finally saw the end of the rein deer, but carrots endure forever. One of the things that makes the ordinary man wild is to prepare a beautiful speech, spend a couple of hours memorizing it, and then have it slip away from you right at the time you need it most. Our best thoughts always come Ico late for publication. Or else it isn't advisable to publish them. The automobile dealer was grouch ing a bit. "I thought 1 had a custo mer lined up," he said,- "but I dis covered my mistake. He's even mort gaged his chicker.F." Our respect for sunny California tlroppcd several notches yesterday, when we learned that in Berkley 23fi persons claimed a $ bill advertised by the police. The thing that sounded the most fi.ny about the story was that the police had advertised it. If you ever had an idea that the literary life Is a happy one, tnke note that 'his week we purchased five pcr fect'y good poems at the rate of 20 cents apiece. There's more real money in bootlegging. It's a lone time after the city elec tion, but we ran across the umpty- steenth brother yesterday who laid claim to electing Monte Hargraves. Hously. "But, say, when the devil did you get made a sergeant?" Down nt Lincoln, the newspapers are slewing ar.d the barber shop pa trons are trembling because ' it is feared that the man who wants a haircut will have to pay 10 cents for it. Tho.e poor prunes , don't know when they re well olf. PERSONALS We believe him, no, matter how many doubt his word. We'd even believe a' man if he told us that he was responsible for the republican victory last, November. Somebody must have been at the bot tom of it, and we refuse to credit Woodrow Wilson or Will Hays. Kid Story for Today Eight-year-old Ruth was having her first party. Before the guests came mother gave her a long talk on the duties of a hostess, and told her to be sure that every one was served with all the refreshments. And Ruth promised. But among the guests was one lit tle miss who was very shy. She did not play any of the games, she did not converse, and when the ice cream was brought forward refused to take any. Then Uuth came over to her. "You must cat some," she insisted, of fering her another dish of cream. The little visitor jihook her head. "I don't want any," she persisted. "But you must cat it," Kuth in sisted. "You must eat it even if you have to throw it up afterward." Ever since the "hot dog" episode, the Lions haven't growled once at the grub. Jesse has' been dishing out milk-fed terrapin and that class of stutL Once in a great while it pays to crab. At other times, the waitress slips salt in the milk. Today's Best Story It had been a fairly warm evening, but about 11 p. m. it became bitterly cold and Patrolman Sr.orkins decided he would chance it and go and fetch his great-coat. So flipping away from his beat he hurried round to his cottage and, throwing some gravel against his wife's bedroom window, he shouted: "Chuck me out my coat, old dear." The wife chucked out the coat and, putting it on in the darkness, he hurried back to his beat. "Hello, Bill," he said to his police man pa! who was waiting for him at the end of the bert. "1 just, slipped round and got mv coat. It's bloom ing cold, ain't it?" "It is," agreed Bill, eyeing him cu- A MEAL on the TABLE h worth TWO on the FLOOR.
