on a sack of bran talking to sovernl
rough looking mon and his Misslourl
friend. Ed said everything was all
right and that I could talk beforo all
of tho men prcsont us thoy woro all
his friends. So I asked him. Ho ald
ho didn't know unless It was too cold
but wo said they kept tho court house
protty warm and that tho band gave
up the ghost long boforo it got cold.
Missouri said ho hoard a young follow
playing a cornot tho othor night and
wo said wo had hoard several young
follows playing horns but that tho

was tho reason they quit practising
when they had to closo tho windows
on account ot tho cold weather. Ed
said ho know a band once whoro he
grow up in Indiana which playod in
tho winter timo whon thoy could keep
tho sound In for tHo peoplo would not
lot thorn play In tho BUmmor whon
they had to havo tho windows open
and let tho sound out Missouri said
ho know of a man who played In a
band who had false tcotli that ho could
tako out of his mouth and put back
In whonovor ho wanted to and wo Bald
wo know ot a man onco who had false
tooth and his gums grow out ovor his
false tooth bo thoy could not get thorn
out. Ed said that was too bad and
then ho told of a dontlst who usod to
llvo in tho Bomo town with him. This
dontlst would pull n tooth with his
flngors without using any tools ot all.
Wo fiaid w'o uovor hoard of that but
wo know of a boy onco who used to
oat with his flngors without using his
knifo or fork unless his folks made
him. Ed said that was off tho subject
and Missouri said that might be but
ho didn't think much of grown men
playing horns whon boys could do it
so much bettor. Ho thought a man
could find Bomothlng bettor to do with
his timo than playinc In a band, like
playing pool or horsoshoo. In a mln'-d
