■ THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C. But, Buster, I (eel more like a mother toward you!” ‘I got that same old urge to dynamite the schoolhouse!’ NANCY By Ernie Bushmiller LITTLE REGGIE By Margarita MUTT AND JEFF By Bud ^Fisher VIRGIL By Len Kleis Sensitive Mare A NEW ENGLAND fanner, In a rare moment of weakness, per mitted a slow-paying neighbor to purchase a horse from him par tially on credit. He regretted the deal as soon as It had been com pleted, and wondered how he would be able to get 'the balance of his money. A week later the neighbor re turned to express dissatisfaction over his purchase. Being asked what the trouble was, he com plained, “The thing I don’t like about this mare is that she won’t hold up her head.” Instantly the farmer saw his op portunity. “Oh,” said he, “that is only her silly pride. She’ll hold up her head as soon as she has been fully paid for.” He got his money. A COMMON WEAKNESS A kind-hearted gentleman took a troubled friend to a psychiatrist and waited in the reception room while the unfortunate fellow was ex amined. In a few minutes the dofctor came out and, shaking his head doubtfully, whispered to the sympa thetic friend, “I’m afraid there’s no hope.” “Why not, doc?” he was asked. “Well,” said the psychiatrist, “I asked your friend to lie down on the couch and relax. Then I put out the lights and told him to talk freely. But all he said was, ‘Doc, when is Donald Duck coming on?’ ’’ Partly Civilized One day while in the jungles, a captain of marines ran into a tribe of cannibals who were getting ready to sit down to their favorite repast. The head of the tribe con fided to the captain that he had once attended college in the United States. “Do you mean to say," asked the amazed marine, “that you went to college and that you still eat human beings?" “Oh, yes,” replied the chief, "but of course I use a knife and fork now!” Special Service A fussy woman in a restaurant was ordering breakfast: “Bring me two slices of homemade bread toasted not too hard and buttered with fresh country butter not too salty; one, strictly fresh egg poached medium soft; and orange juice, well strained, with only half a cube of ice in it.” "Yes, madam,” replied the wait ress. "And would you prefer a plain gold band or a floral pattern on your dishes?” Well Paid A home-owner, wearing his oldest clothes, was mowing his lawn when a woman in a ritzy car stopped and asked him: “What do yon get for mowing lawns?” “The lady who lives here lets me live with her,” replied the home-owner, and the lady in the car, without comment, drove away. OVERHEARD Mike Finn (reading an epitaph in the cemetery) — “ ‘Not Dead, But Sleeping.’ Sure, and that fellow isn’t deceiving innybody but him- silf!” Believed in Signs “I hear you got a girl, Sam.” “Yes.” “What’s her name?” “Belle.’ “Seen her lately?” “No.” “What’s the matter—had a fight with her?” “No, I went to her house last night and there was a sign on the door, ’Bell out of order,’ so I didn’t go in.” Nobody Else Does “So, God has sent you two more little brothers, Sally.” said the min ister to the small daughter of a fam ily recently blessed with twins. "Yes,” said Sally, “and he knows where the money is coming from, too. I heard Daddy say so.” SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS pretty D W o-J-^iecer j?or Cjirii ^t^aylirner ^ide-^wept oCineS / - For Dress-Up yOUR little ange'. is certain to ^ approve this dainty two piecer for dress-up occasions.
