BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
For many years I headed this
paragraph “For Boys Are Just
That Way You Know”. About 10
years ago one editor shortened it
to “Boys Are That Way.” That
said it even better. So it’s been
that way since. •
And talking about abbreviating
and saving words, I recall a tale
that went the rounds when we
were kids.
Our country store started get
ting a box of fish on the noon
train on Saturdays.' So the man

So the “here” was cut off.
That left “Fish For Sale”. But
the fellows had started something.
So they kept at it. Why the “for
sale”, someone raised. If you’ve
got fieh^in a box of ice there in a
store, “any fool would know they
are for sale”, the fellow reasoned.
That convihced them. So they cut
the “for sale” out too.
Then they just' had the-, large
word “FISH” left. After thinking
over it a while, the storekeeper
said, “Well, why put that*wOrd up
there? Everybody who comes near
enough to read it can smell the
fish anyway.”
So they dispensed with the mak
ing of any sort of sign, had a
laugh, and the group, huddled
there around the stove, resumed
the checker game.
