List Saturday evening I saw
girl coming out of tiie Horton
road in a fast walk. She stopped
neaa the fifteen cent mud hole and
asked me the way to a neighbor’
house. She was not gone long
enough to go there and she detour¬
ed a little down on my side of the
road. 1 asked her if she found the
way. She replied she did. She
did not wait to get the ice broken
up but got down to business at
once. She said: “I heard y< u
are wanting to marry, and it looks
like you are a good worker and if
you will only say the word I will
marry you and make you a good
wife.” 1 at once began to flee up
stream toward «he blue mountains
and wish that the rocks to hide me
from t his long-legged angle with¬
out wings. YVhen I first saw her J
thought she was an escaped scare¬
crow from some nearby field and
was coming to give me a fright,
which she succeeded in doing. She
had on a large felt hat witli three
windows in front which looked
veaj’much like the one Icliabod
Crane wore on the night lie got
knocked from Gum Powder by a
pumpkin. She had on a long
dress with her white petticoat
showing about four incites below.
She wore a pair of sandlas that
Moses must have left at the burn¬
ing bush. She ware no stockings.
I wuis a little BURpitious and it
seems that it was only a boy dress¬
ed up like a girl, and was ort'y
trying to get . me for breach of
promise.

FLAT CREEK NEWS
By your Uncle Joe—Ad
Just seems like that we gel into
something ever once and awhile
and fail to get our plunder on the
market, but we are on the job
again. So stand it if you can,
here goes.
Down this way if you meet man
and say howdy to him, he just
looki up says: “Could you chop
cotton for me today?”
It’s not what people say, for
they will say anything, nor the
way they act, for one Can learn to
act most any part, but what they
do naturally that counts. Make¬
ups are not much after they are
made.
It takes some people several
hours every Sunday morning to
get the family grumbling done,
get of their fussing dlot’ies, put on
a meet-tlie-preacher-smile, and oh !
so pious. Lord bless their liyqo
c itii al livers ! Amen.
After ;1 fellow walks out under
what hair he had on the top of his
head, and Ins old teeth wouldn’t
stand the preside to bite a rotten
banana, and bis eyes not stout

couldn’t hear thunder il everything
else were to hush, together will

Right at this stage he has learned
that what lie has lost is all people
cared for not him. No.
Well, we have all sorts
plagues and pests of late years, and
people are getting concerned

thing and some another. Some say
we don’t go to church enough
Well, going to church is nothing
bad, but just going to church
stop hugs of all kinds, seems to tn
iike an uncertain piece of business
Poe right kind of staying at honu
will cause the right kind of church
going. Where is the old fashioi
happy homes'? Where are the
whistling boys and the singiuj
girls? Where is the rest and quie>
that once was shared among us all?
l'he answer comes in thunderou
tones,—GONE. Yes, tney ar<

The prodigal returned very late.
“Where have you been?” asked Ills
indignant wife.
After h moment’s reflection, he ven¬
tured, “The cemetery.”
“Good gracious,” remarked ills

“The whole bally lot of ’em,” re¬

Principle* V*. Patronage
Speaking of morally bad plays, we
fear there are too many playgoers
who are like the “high-minded lady”
recently pictured in Punch:
High-minded Lady (as she andhec

a perfectly loathsome play that ought
never to have been allowed. Each

Taking a Small Advantage
“Are you really thinking of buying a
new car?”
“No,” said Mr. Chuggins. “But our
flivver Is laid up, and we enjoy riding
along with the salesmen who are so
wilting to demonstrate.”
Nobody Home—Ever
“Did I understand you to say that
Dutiblelgh was absent-minded?”
“Yes, but not in the way that It af¬
fects some very learned professors.
In Dubbleigh’s ease It Is continuous.”

Troublesome Wad*
Junior Partner— It’s no use talking
to tbe stenographer— she sticks to her

Senior Partner— Her sticking to her
gum doesn’t bother so much; it’s the

The Question Today
“Why, sir,” said the genius, “this in¬
vention of mine will be epoch-making.”
“Perhaps,” returned the man he had
appealed to, “but will it be money¬
making?”
