THE DAMM FAMILY
When Cain slew his brother there
bfcgan my history. The original damm
fafAlly was a son of Cain and I would
utterly fail were 1 to endeavor to geu
eaologize this family for no man, be he
so wise or ever so well versed in
history, could give you a correct line.
They have migrated, retrograded,
bredized and increased numerically un
til they have found homes in every
county and clime, even into the utter
most part of the earth and' isles of the
great ocean.
The most noted of this family was
I. B. Damm who married U. B. Darn.
Their descendants have tilled every
place of honor imaginable. Some of
them have also been found in the chuin
gang, in prison and in barber shops of
late.
The King of I’otocatapelt was a not
ed descendant of this line. He was
known as 0. B Damm.
O. B. Damm had a son who was a
dealer in small articles of commerce,
1 such as poplar logs, mountains, swamps,
and riveis. It was an easy matter
for him to dispose of some half dozen
ifiountains or a score of rivers in an
hour’s time. This popular log business
was not so popular then as it is now;
there many today who do not belong to
this family who retail and wholesale
these logs at a sensible price.
When it comes to literature there
W’as a nephew of O. B. Damm who was
an editor and ran a small press. His
paper was chock full of Catholicism;
persecution, prosecution, carnal desires,
animosity, beastiality and damnation.
You would be suprised were I to tell
you he had a good subscription list.
This man’s name was Daph B. Damm.
I have never heard of but few who
were not members of the church. As
a rule they were church goers.
A great grand son of O. B. Damm,
Jim B. Damm lived in one of the pret
tiest little cities in the world. He was
’elected Alderman and it swelled him
up considerably. He was very wealthy
and he decided lie would have no poor
neighlors, so he decided to have a law
passed that would make every citizen
a millionaire. For the purpose of be
ing able to get a greater tax oat of
them. He reasoned that poor folks had
nothing to pay with, therefore, his law
would make them ever grateful to him
and he have a chance to get to handle
more cash as Alderman This town
had a poor equipment for fighting fire
and no home for the city fathers to
meet. This one reason why he needed
more eash. So Jim B. Damm got busy
and did his level best to have this law
passed by a great assembly of alder
men.
Jim I?. Damm had a cousin by the
. name of Bill B. Damm, who married
Sarah B. Gosh; she was a fine house
keeper. She joined several of the clubs
of the town and often lectured on clean
liness. She wearied Bill B. Damm,
her husband, until he went before the
council and got a ruling passed that
kept every dog, chicken, cat, hog and
cow out of the city limits. She said this
would help in cleanliness and prevent
sickness. Siie never thought of her
own back yard where filth from her

Sending currency by mail is always risky. A check on your bank,
or a New York draft is always safe, nothing and acts as a receipt.
If it gets lost or stolen you can immediately stop payment and
issue a duplicate.
Your creditor would prefer a check—it is so much more easily
handled, and payment by check gives you a prestige with your creditor.

Here comes a riddle; somebody un
riddle It please: I married a widow
who had a grown daughter; my father
visited our house very often an*l fell in
love with my step-daughter and mar
ried her, so my father became my son
in-law and my step-daughter my moth
er-in-law, because she was my father's
wife. Some time afterward my wife
had a son, he is my father's brother-in
law and my uncle, for he is the broth
er of my step-mother, my father’s wife,
namely, my step-daughter also had a
son; he is of course my brother and in
the meantime my grand child, for he is
the son of my daughter. My wife is
my grand mother, because she is m.v
mother’s mother; I am my wife’s bus
band and grandchild at the same time
and the hudbhnd of a person’s grand
mother is his grand father, 1 am my
own grand father.
Good luck, to the News.
