T HERE has been a persistent
rumor about for some time
of a war in Europe. We are
in a position to dispel this rumor
right here and now, as Squire
Biggs has Just returned from
Johnson’s Corners (which, for the
benefit of those that don’t get time
to rend or travel much, I wish
to state is the county seat of this
here county), and says nobody
there knows anything about a war;
so, there AIN’T no war.
The new cemetery will be
thrown open to the public next
Sunday. Everybody welcome!

When old man Smith failed to
get a license this year, it was easy
to foresee that the business could
not be continued profitably. Now
that the old man is dead, the heirs
thought it would be no use to keep
the bar open any longer.
In connection with the above,
we wish to deny, once and for all,
and In the most emphatic manner
possible, that Mr. Smith died from
alcoholism. His family assures us
that such was not the case. The
cause of his immediate demise was
cirrhosis of the liver and paresis
Lem Smart says there’s only
one thing the people of this here
village need wors’n a bank, and
that’s money to put in it.

Timelock Foams, the
Great Detective
In Which the Faithful Potson
Puts One Over on His Cele

Our Weekly Health Hint.
The safest way to eat green
plea is to let the neighbors'
do U.
k OTSON,” said Foams,
"look out of the win
dow at the man on the
other side of the street and let
me know what you observe.”
I looked out of the window,
and when I saw the man I
started violently. Somehow I
knew that hla presence on bur
street boded no good. ,
"Well, Botson,” went on
a
Foams, "doesn't that viscous
mass you facetiously call your
brain gather anything from
looking at that man?" ,
I made no reply, but bueled
myself getting mv hat and coat.
Even you, m.v dear Potson."
said Foam*, ' should be able to
see by the way that man glances
at our windows that he is in
terested In something here. He
is not in doubt as to our humble
apartments, because one look at
the number would tell him that.
The stranger, Potson, is deeply
worried, and he is on his way
here.’’
Foams paused here for me to
say "marvelous," but Instead 1
snapped out that 1 knew all that
stuff already.
The great detective almost lost
his habitual air or cairn.
T suppose you know what he
Is coming for, a^well?” he said
in a supercilious manner.
"I do." said I, "and what’B
more, 1 know he won’t get what
he’s coming for."
“M.v dear Potson.” exclaimed
Foams, now visibly nettled. "I
have never failed on a case
which 1 have undertaken."
"No matter," I retorted, “that
man is coming to collect an in
stalment on my phonograph, and
lie . mb get It.”
With that 1 beat it out the
back way. -
"SPARROW” AS A NICKNAME.
to THE EDITOR—Why
are so many small men
nicknamed "Sparrow”?
There are many birds smaller
than a sparrow, aueh as the
wren, bluebird, sprat, minnow,
lentil, shad roe, pinhead, mouse,
black pepper. Think this over.

SUMMER.
TO THE EDITOR—Summer
Is the only season of the year
that’s worth a cuss. In Sum
mer we need no coal. We don’t
have to go around In heavy uu-
derwear. We get a chance to
grumble at the heat. There are
roof gardens to make you un-
eomfortable in the evening. The
fans In the subway are put to
work tstirrlng up the germs.
Summer Is the queen of the
seasons.

NAUTICAL DOPE.
TO THE EDITOR—1 visited
the fleet in the North River, and,
much to my astonishment, I
didn't hear one sailor exclaim.
"Shiver m.v timbers ” or "Dash
m.v topllghts!" I demanded m.v
money back, but the boatman
refused to come across.

Did You Know That—
Ae a rbyme In St. Nicholas
points out, the owl is most un
grammatical in saying, “To who,
to who." instead of "to whom,
to whom?”
But then you can't expect
much from an owl. and even less
from a boiled owl?

WHAT TO DO WHEN BURGLED.
' HERE are only two things to do when a burglar enters your room
and suggests that you hold'up your hands. One thing, which is
quite within the limits of etiquette, is to hold up your hands.
OR you can refuse to do this and the man who lays you out later
will fold them for you across your chest.
NEVER SNORE in the presence of a burglar. Remember they are
human and cannot stand everything. They might get rattled and knock
your fourteen dollar cut glass punch bowl off the serving table, which
would both awaken and anger you, and you might get up and punch the
burglar.
THAT is no way to treat him. Remember, he is a guest in your house
and that politeness should come before cut glass.
"WHO ARE YOU?" is decidedly crude and impolite. NeVer say such
words to a burglar. If he cared to make your acquaintance he would
proffer his card. As he remains silent, the chances are he prefers to
Btay incognito.
IF he becomes rough and threatening, don’t shout. It isn’t your
treat, anyway. Tell him that if he is a sport he will go fifty-fifty with
you on all he gels.
THE BEST PLAN Is to get up and help him. First give him one of
those holiday cigars you have hidden in the bookcase back of the set of
Thackeray which you have never read and never intend to. Then mix
him one of your own pet cocktails. If he recovers from all this, bring
out some of thtise home-made sinkers and make him a pot of your own
indesfructible coffee.
THEN PHONE FOR THE AMBULANCE.
ETIQUETTE IN SLEEPING CARS.
IF YOU GET LOST in the middle of the night and come back from
the smoking compartment in that dim. ghastly sleeping-car-unreligious
light, there is always a sure way of finding if you are in the wrong berth.
STICK YOUR HEAD between the curtains and exclaim: “Anybody
home?” If you hear a shrill staccato shriek, or if you receive a fine,
lusty wallop in the eye, the chances are it is not your berth. If a sharp,
raspy. Henry-peckish sort of voice says, "VVhere’ve you been all this
time?” duck quickly.
THIS HOLDS GOOD whether you have your wife with you or are
travelling alone, but more especially if the latter is true.

sHIS weak's compersishun is
about A. Paul O, but the
teecheur didunt say why he
parted his nalm In the mtddul with
a tnishul on each end.
Gee. I forgot moast of what I red
about A. Paul O as goon as I re<^ it,
and teechur wouldn't let us look in
our books agen. But A. Paul O was
a perfect gentilman; I remember
the book said that. I meen he was
a perfect form guy, Just like a
strong man in a show.
•A. Paul O was the sun of Jew-
peter and a woman naimed Lay-
tona. Jewpeter was Merkery's
father, two, whitch we wrote about
last time, but T guess he married
again cause It was a diffunt mothur
A. Paul O had.
A. Paul O was a twin, his othur
half bein’ a gurl naimed Dinah,
whitch I think is negroe, because
we have a cook naimed Dinah. But
A. Paul O was verry handsum. But
he was stuck on himself becaws he
kep having statchewg maid of him
everrywhear. He had a statchew
of himself maid for our pnblick II-
berrary.
He must have spent so mutch
monney havin’ statchews maid of
himself he couldn’t buy no close.
Good nlte, if I went around like he
did Ide be pinched in five minutes.
Enny way nobudv ever got nothin"
on A. Paul O. When he was drest
up like the pitcher in my mlthology,
book, he wore a Turkesh towtl—
gee, what a stnch for a guy!
Next weak teechur gays we got
to write a compersishun about
Dinah, who was A. Paul O’s twin
sistur.
