Laughing Around the World
With IRVTN S. COBB
Guilt on the Very Face of It
By IRVIN S. COBB
A GREAT many persons who know and admirtj the darky stories
of E. K- Means are not aware that this author is, at his home in.
Jackson, Miss., the Rev. E. K. Means, pastor of Galloway Memorial M
E. Church, South. He is a zealous clergyman, a gifted speaker, and a
fluent writer, but being, as befits a clergyman, a truthful man also,
Mr. Means would be the last person to lay claim to great personal
beauty. , .
As his friend, I feel that I may repeat this story at his expense,
especially as he himself told it to me. He had been gazing at my printed
likeness and he was reminded of an experience of his own. I quote his
words:
"Once upon a time my picture was published in a small weekly
newspaper in a village in Louisiana. I was standing in the post office
when a farmer entered to get his mail. He- opened the little paper and
gazed with fascination at my countenance. He held the sheet close to
his nose, then extended it to arm's length, trying to focus his dim eyes
on the vision. He fumbled in all his pockets and brought forth his hand3
empty of the thing he sought.
. "Then he remarked to the world at large:
" 'I left my specks home and I can't see who this here feller is. I
don't know whut he done, neither, but by dam, he's guilty !' "
(American Nw Features, Inc.).
given the best of satisfaction. In that
time he has seen many tiny tots en
ter, pass through the grades and the
high school and go out into the
world to make names for themselves,
as many have. 3 7 years is a long
time and many noteworthy things
can and do happen. Still the Elm
wood schools go right on functioning,
turning out students to matriculate
in institutions of higher learning or
enter the world of affairs, and Mr.
Hulfish keeps the buildings and
groundsin shape.
W. C. T. U. Convention
The Cass county convention of
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union was held at the parlors of the
Methodist church in Elmwood on
Tuesday afternoon, when the ladies
had an excellent program and serv
ed dinner at the basement of the
church during the noon hour. Be
sides looking alter the work which
called the ladies together from dif
ferent portions of the county, they
were enjoying an excellent social
time as well.
Arc Very Industrious"
Mesdames Emily Gonzales, Emil
Rosenow, Fred Lake, Harry Linder,
E. H. Greene ind Lucy Lyle were all
in Lincoln last Monday Columbus
day as it was a bank holiday and
the two employes of the local finan
cial institution could get away. AM
the ladies were receiving instruction
in the matter of knitting, as they
are engaged in the knitting of
dresses for themselves at this time.
Visited Friends Here
Rev. Daniel P.ornemeler, formerly
of Elmwood, where he was salesman
in the Fuller store, living with his
mother here, but who has been at
Mascot, where he is pastor of an
Evangelical church, attended the re
cent Missionary conference held in
Lincoln, and took advantage of the
opportunity to come to Elmwood to
visit relatives and old friends. While
here, he visited his friend Charles
West, the barber, and had his hair
cut, as he likes the way Mr. West
always cuts it.
In Union There is . . Heat
It has been said that in Union
there is strength, and it follows as
common logic that in union there are
many other good things. Here in
Elmwood a union has been effected
that brings "heat." Not the kilid we
do not care to have turned on us,
but the radiant sort that keeps one's
shin-bones warm in winter. Three o)
cur business houen, N. D. Bothwell,
the hardware store and that of Her
man Penterman, which adjoin each
other, have been connected to the
same heating plant, so situated that
it can supply ample warmth for the
entire set of buildings and at a cost
considerably less than required o
heat each one separately.
EelpingJJare for Mother
Mrs. Henry Penterman departed
Wednesday morning for Osceola, at
which place her mother, Mrs. Henry
Shadley, is very sick at the home of
another daughter, Mrs. David Adair,
with whom she has been residing.
The daughters are concerned that
the mother receive the best of care
and expect to have her placed in the
old folks' home at the Emanuel hos
pital in Omaha, where they are as
sured she will receive expert care and
the best of medical attention.
Morris Penterman drove the moth
er over to Osceola in their car Wed
nesday morning, returning home in
the evening. .
