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^

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." ^
