One of the girls was fretting. "He
lelt me to go get the tickets," she said,
"and I waited and waited. I waited an
awfully long time. 1 wonder if he
went into the sideshow."
If we were in her place, we'd ask
him about those Seven Veils.
But the brvte probably wouldn't
give himself away.
Congressional Record Wit: Con
gressman Swank (Dem., Okla.) was
delivering a eulogy on Platte National
park, that state.
Mr. Swank She has sulphur water
all kinds, shades and degrees, medi
cine water, bromide and pure water.
That water makes a man want to go
there and enriches him with that
manly vigor so essential to true man
hood. (Laughter.)
Mr. Dyer- (Rep., Mo.) They have
nothing else to drink down there,
have they. (Laughter.)
Mr. Swank The gentleman evident
ly has never been there. (Laughter.)
' There never was but one real joke
published in the Congressional Rec
ord, and that was 'way back in 1899,
when some congressman, in the heat
of an annexation debate, urged that
the United States annex Ii eland, in
order that we might raise our own
policemen.
Today's Best Story
There ain't none.
Tod'ay'a Second Best
Irate auto owner: "Chauffeur, how
could you be so careless as to get this
big splinter in our first tire?"
Chauffeur: "Couldn't help it, sir.
The fellow had a wooden leg." Pur
ple Cow.
Advice to Motorists.
Referring to the hair-raising exper
ience of C. M. Looney, who made a
thrilling areoplane flight in a flivver
last week, the Scottsbluff Star-Herald
tells how Looney had been yanked
from the car in mid-flight, but alighted
uninjured, caught up with his car, the
engine still running, and came on to
Alliance. The following good advice
to motorists Is given.
"Had he 'only had the presence of
mind to have shut off the engine, he
could have saved considerable amount
of gasoline. All autoists should bear
this in mind and when struck by a
tormido that chances to be going in
the same, direction they should shut off
the gas and cut down expenses as
these are hard times, and every little
du neips."
And to think that Mc. old and wise
ns he is, should be taken in by a short
change artist. Of course he got it
back, but it ought to cost him ten dol-i
i .
iars in cigars.
Make ours a Chancellor, please.
Maybe he'll find that other $10 bill
in his vest pocket; who knows?
Scientists have at last exploded the
caffeine myth. It seems there is no
deadly drug in coffe, and that those
who drink it need not fear heart dis
ease or kindred ills. Now, if some
one will only render a similarly favor
able report on the nicotine in tobacco,
life will assume a still, rosier aspect.
UNCERTAIN
He: "Was it you I kissed in the
library last night?"
She: "About what time?" Mug-wump.
Experts now tell us that the United
States has enough coal to last 3,000
years. The real tjuestion right now is,
have we got enough to last till it's
safe to let the furnace fire go out for
the summer?
Sometimes we wonder whether there
is more immorality in the world than
in the old days or whether the report
ers are more alert.
Every time we rend the names of
participants in Russian affairs we feel
that few of them can be regarded as
pronounced successes.
The man who is shocked . because
women smoke cigarettes forgets that
hit great grandmother may have
smoked a pipe,
Tis said a good cry now and then
helps a woman. It also Kelps her to
control her husband.
She: "Ho you love me, John?"
He: "Sure,"
She: "Then why doen't your chest
go up and down like the man ia th
movies?" -Tar Baby.
One of the most difficult things
about holding office these days is hold
ing the office.
When a mas dances with a girl and
doesn't step on her toes he knows she's
graceful.
Some of the nations have peace with
honor and some have it with complications.
A great many people who formerly
held positions are now glad to get
obs. i
If you don't dance, you will have
plenty of fun at the Camp (ire benefit
dance.
Come in and hear the June
Victor records at Thicle's. 54
