Phone 17^ V Nobody's Business Writte n tor The (Thronicl* by Gee McGee, Copyright, 1927. Have You a Little Friend in Your Community t 1 have a very dear friend (as a ' society belle would say) who has U| nice Urge fisb pond on his premises. This friend of mine is' undoubtedly the most unselfish men 1 ever saw. fie permits the closest friends of his to fish in his fish pond under the following arrangement: F/ach friend is to pay the sum of 10 cents for each and every fish he, she, or it catches. So you see, this is what you'd call a friend-in-noed fish pond. And it's a big fieh pond too, tund cofitains heaps and heaps of water. Well, after finding out that I could fish to my heart's desire for only a dollar or two, I made ready with hook, line, sinker, and bait, and proceeded to the aforementioned fish pond. 1 calculated that it would prove a good Investment to go out and catch a few nice fat home-raised fish for supper, and decided that I would always quit fishing when my fitth bill had run up to 60 cents. (I thought 6 fish would be enough for a meal for my family of 3: my wife's kinfolks happened not to be at our house during this particular fishing undertaking). I chose last Wednesday afternoon for my first fishing expedition. I figgered that I would possibly go every afternoon if I could make expenses fishing. 1 took along only 6 dimes so's I would quit when I had enough fish. (I was afraid to carry too much money with me. You know, when fish get to biting and keep or. biting a fellow simply tar.'t stop and go home. I knew my fiiend well enough to know that I 'd have to pay him the cash money down for all the fish I caught. He is a Baptist, wub a Bleasite once, belongs to the K. K. K.s, at this writing, smokes a cob pipe, and weigh 21f> pounds in the shade). I arrived at the friendly fish pond about 4:22 p. m., eastern central time. (N. B. If I had been fishing on day-light savings time, it would have been 3: 2 p. m., whoi> I arrived. 1'. M. means afternoon in my I community, and not postmaster as son it* of you have probably assumed. We have a mighty good postmaster now. 1" think it is fine to have democrats in office occasionally, but a change usually helps a community. Most ill-bred folks think a republican wrfuld "bite then? if they were to \ ask him for their mail), h I suggested to my friend (this re: fers to tin- owner of the fish pond) ' that I sit over in a shady corner ! of the fisli pond as it seemed more jc?mforter over there, he said that I would he sure of catching a fisn if I'd sit in the hot sun. And I sat in the hot sun. I suppose the fish would like to see me sitting out in the hot sun, or they were just naturally afraid of dark places like shade trees make in the water). I fished and fished and fished. Six l\ M. (Rocky Mountain time) came, and I still had my 60 cents. About 7:4'i p. in., central standard time, I withdrew my hook feom the calm waters, and hanging thereon was a little, minnmv about the size of a breast-pin. My friend came over and collected his dime and" went home. He knew that was the only fish in his pond. I threw him back. F.verybody else had thrown him back. His mouth was simply* full of fish holes. I know that fish has lived a lonesome life in th'at pond all alone, but here's one guy that will never spend another dime on him or her. Tim Timkins got too familiar with Bill Simkins pig. and took it to his home ft miles away. Tim was ari rested, and taken before the judge. Tim tried to pxplain%to the judge that he was joking, but the judge told him that he carried the joke too far, and now poor Tim is away on a 60-day visit. Moral: Steal a million dollars and stay at home. Instalment buying has worked wonders in this old country. It has busted thousands upon thousands of grocery stores, and has kept millions of children out of school because they were too ragged to appear in public, and forced doctors to do about half their work in the name of I (forced) charity, and aforded hunj dreds upon hundreds of the poor ; devils who have to toil and sweat for a living to see some of the world ; that they could not have seen other! wise. It has huvt like thunder, hat i after all-mebbe it has paid, i Typographical errors are the bunk, j A few days ago in one of my artiI cles, I said: "The good old soul was j too sacred to disturb." The newsI paper said: "The poor old fool, was | too sacred to disrupt." Just yesterIday, I wrote it: "The flapper in question had on pink teddies and t blue hose." The type-setter made me say: "She flapper had no pink teddies and blue shoes." Now I'd like to know how in the thunder he ever decided .that I knew anything about what kind of t*ddie? she had an." 1t looks Jike there's always something or somebody trying to ge^ my wife turned against me. H If you would know the real character of a man, find out what he says when his wife kicks his dog. (We are sorry that we cannot advise our friends what is necessary to d#? termine the character of the female of the speshees. I have been married only about 21 years). There is much talk about old Mrs. Pinhead. Her neighbors say that she's the meanest woman thay ever saw. Just last week, she whipped her cream, beat her grocer, stamped her husband's letters, twisted the head off a cabbage, pinched a box of snuff, thumped a watermelon, scratched her daughter's back, talked back at her doctor over the telephone, chewed the rag when she cut her finger, poked fun with her funny bone, dit a rag when the door bell rang, claimed that sh| needed dough when everybody knew she had 4 dollars in her stocking, cut the buck, balled the jack, and raised eand while sweeping her back yard. Such a woiuan as that ought, by rights, be locked up in the postoffice, and shot with a hypedermlc syringe Good times are upon us again. Saw 2 book agents and 8 lightning rod salesmen in town yesterday. Just as soon as the farmers get a few dollars in their pockets from the sale of cotton, there will be covies, droves, packs, and bunches of a(l kinds of dead-beats, pikers, fakirs, rascals and other human vermin flocking hither and yonder all over the country, extracting cash from a longsuffering people, and otherwise beating them. I heard two old dirt farmers "carrying on" a conversation on the street corner last Saturday afternoon. One of them appeared to be 77 per cent deaf, and the other one was at least 1)4 per cent hard of hearing, but when it came to talking ?they had half the women and all J the graphophones skint a block. This is what I gathered from their efforts as socialability: "Well, 1 dunno about them air boll weevils. They can't he no worse than them hoppers wa*i last summer." "Now, John, I can't agrbe with you. Prohibition has not been an evil, and the coppers don't drink no worser than other officers of the law." 1 . ^ "Hut, there's one thing in our favor: the price is about 10 cents a pound better'n it was) last year." "Hold on there. John: I ain't a doing no drinking much, but the flavor of what little I get hold oL-ii O. K., hut 10 cents seems mighty cheap for it. I paid 4 dollars for the last quart I fetched home." "What kind of seed did you plant?' "Oh. I dunno. It tasted like home brew, but the feller called it Scotch. Before I got half way home I was schotched all right, and couldn't move a peg." "I like the Wanny-maker Cleveland mighty well, but it seems mighty hard to pick in dry weather, j the burs is so sharp." "Yes. 1 wanter make a little myself if I ever have the chance, and I'd like for it to have a hard kick too, if possible, and I hope mine wont burst. I like it somewhat sharp." "Do you think rhe next report will be bullish, or bearish?" "I can't say that I ever tasted any that wasn't bully, and 1 can bear it any time of day except just before dinner." "My corn is almost a complete failure this year. The dry weather ketched it betwix the shoot and the tass-sel." "I prefer corn too, unless you can get pure rye. If a man waster shoot at me about a small thing like taking a drink, he'd have a tussel pn his hands just like you had. WhereNiid it take place?" i "My peas were also powerful short. I sowed 20 bushels, and picked only 10, and all the leaves fell off the vines before i could cut them." 4 "Nope, I never have made any wine. I picked a few last spring, but the old lady made pies out of them. I allers did like blackberry pies. Glad to hear that you was pleased with your run.' Lookit that man riding that poijy over yonder. He's a horseman, sure. Wish I could call back 30 years; I would show ??im how to ride." ' > "Well, I never did believe t^iat bunk about the bootleggers putting horse manure in their mash, and if there's been a pint of licker in^thls county that has';been on. ham^ 30 years, I'd shore like to know kept it thai long, and how he managed to do it. I buy mine to drink, not to keep. I'll hafter be a-going. I see the ojd woman coming. Goodbye, John." So tong, Bill. Glad I saw you and got to talk with you. ?ome over some time." ^ The End.
