SILENT SAM
By Jeff Hayes
Cool Nerves
T HE oldest inhabitant of an
Arizona town was telling a
group of dudes about his experi
ences.
“One time,” he said, "I was lying
asleep under a mesquite bush when
I felt a pressure on my chest I
opened my eyes; on my chest, look*
ing at me with his evil little eyes,
was a rattlesnake. If I’d made a
move, he’d have struck faster than
I could see.”
“But what did you do?” asked
one young lady.
The oldster shifted his tobacco.
“Nothing I could do,” he said, "so
I just went back to sleep.”
WRONG DIRECTION
A Mississippi river steamboat
was stopped in the mouth of a tribu
tary stream, owing to the dense
fog. An inquisitive passenger in
quired of the captain the cause of
the delay.
"Can’t see up the river,” was his
laconic reply.
“But I can see the stars over
head,” the passenger replied
sharply.
“Yes,” came back the captain,
“but unless the boilers bust, we
ain’t going that way."
A Hot Spell
In the heat of summer a Kansas
farmer went to Colorado for a va
cation. He climbed Pike’s Peak,
was overcome by the cold, rarefied
air, and was pronounced dead by a
physician. Officials wired relatives
for instructions on disposal of the
remains; they were told to cremate
the body and send the ashes home.
The late-lamented farmer was
placed in a crematory. Hours later,
the attendant returned and was
amazed to find the Kansas farmer
sitting up and grinning happily.
“My goodness!” he told the attend
ant, mopping perspiration from his
brow, “it’s just like home. Another
week of this, and the corn’ll be
made.”
One Little Vice
The man was being examined
and cross-examined for life insur
ance. He had been put through a
severe physical inspection, and had
had to answer numerous questions
about himself, his past, his ances
tors and so on. Finally the exam
iner asked:
“You don’t dissipate, do you? Not
living fast, or doing anything in ex
cess?”
The prospective risk, a little man
with an apologetic air, seemed very
frightened by this prolonged proce
dure. He thought a moment, and
then hesitantly replied:
“I—er—I sometimes chew a piece
of gum.”
THE BEST TIME
Trainer—Well, old man, I’m
afraid you’re licked now.
Boxer (gazing dizzily)—Yes, I
guess you’re right. I should have
got him in the first round when he
was alone.
Limited Territory
Billy was refused a piece of bread
and jelly because it was too near
his supper time. He got angry and
decided to run away from home. A
neighbor saw him, with his little
bag packed, walking determinedly
up and down in front of his home
and asked him what he was doing.
“I’m going to run away,” he said
defiantly.
"Well,” replied the neighbor,
why don’t you get started?”
“I’m not allowed to cross * the
street,” said Billy.
Discreet Servant
Mistress — Marie, when you
wait on the table tonight for my
guests please don’t spill any
thing.
Maid—Don’t worry, ma’am, I
don’t talk much.
Color Scheme
Answering an advertisement
about a litter of kittens that would
be given to anyone interested, a
woman called the cat owner.
“Have you one,” she asked, “that
is orange and black?”
“Sorry," said the other woman.
“None of that color.”
“Oh, dear, that’s a shame,” said
the caller. “You see, we’ve just
had our house redecorated, and only
orange and black would match the
color scheme.”

Piranha of South America
Finny Fiend Without Fear
A finny fiend common in some
of the fresh waters of South Amer
ica is the piranha or caribe (from
the Spanish cannibal). This fish
is remarkable for its voracity.
The fish is not much larger than
a bass of good size- But it is
equipped with sham, triangular
teeth, the lower shearing past the
upper, that enable it to tear hunks
of flesh from its victims.
Fish of the piranha species are
attracted by blood and will at
tack anything—fish, animal or hu
man—to which their attention is
drawn. A school of a hundred of
these fish can strip all the flesh
from an animal as big as a dog
in a matter of minutes. There
have been instances of humans
being killed by them.
