A lady took a pair of shoes down to
Al Laskewitz and asked him if he
thought they were worth mending. Al
said: “Certainly, the strings are
pretty good yet.
Some fellow asked Doc Garber if
the doctors who prescribe sports
forrailing patients hurt his business.
Doc. said: “No. I put in a line of
golf pills for which I get $10 a dozen
A man in town bought a plot of
ground because the realtor who sold
it to him said it was experiencing a
boom.
When he told me about it I told
him it must have been one of those
faw-down-and-go-boom affairs.
This chap sure has the writer's
sympathy. A man was recently shot
in the ribs and the doctors couldn't
probe for the bullet because he was to
darn ticklish.
When a family has no car, no radio,
no pianola, and she has no furs or
jewelry—just put down in your little
booklet that they have money.
The other day Chief Zerphey had to
call a lady driver down. He told her
that her clutch wasn’t working right.
She said: That's funny; my boy
friend never complains about it.”
There’s a certain chap in town who
is absolutely no good. I said I can’t
see why he don’t mend his ways but
I guess its because he ain't worth a
darn.
A man at Florin said to his neigh-
bor:
“Why do you always speak of your
wife as trotting around? She isn't a
horse.”
He said: “Well,
she’s a great nag.”

The Latest Thing
Uncle Eli—Say, Hiram, what be ye
a-puttin’ that-there contraption way up
on the peak of yer barn fer? Be ye
plum crazy?
Hiram Low—Crazy nuthin’! I'm
riggin’ up a rural letter box so we kin
ketch the air mail when it goes by,
by gravy.
A chap on East Donegal street told
me he’ll never go to hear those talkies.
His wife does enough of that at home.
You may say what you please about

pap sure gave two fellows a dern good
lesson on quoits and horse-shoe pitch-
ing Sunday afternoon. If the opposi-
tion threw a ringer, they’d put one on
top. At one pitching A. D. threw two
ringers. They say they are open to
meet all comers. Curley says he'd
like to give those two veterans a less-
on pinochle.
I was kidding Anna Kramer about
reading a love story and she said it
wasn’t such a story. It was about two
married people.
Up at Thomas’ restaurant Saturday
night a young fellow came in, walked
to a table and as he did the lady sit-
ting there said: “If you sit down at
this table I'll leave.”
He replied: “I'd appreciate that.”
Just heard of a man who is organiz-
ing a foot ball team that will sweep
anything it meets. He's going a-
round to the different jails trying to
get eleven murderers.
I see by the papers that a man who
gave two girls a lift, was arrested for
Sweet Inquirer to hotel clerk: How
much are your rooms?
Clerk: Five dollars up to twelve.
Same: How much for one all night?
A Rural Carrier tried to turn the
Post Office into a perfumery on
picnic day. He accepted a weasel
for mailing from a patron on his
route without being skinned or
dried, which is prohibited. Evident-
ly this carrier did not know the
Postal laws and regulations, but he
is a licensed trapper, . fisher and
hunter.
It was almost impossible for the
Postmaster and Miss Pennell to re-
main in the building until closing
time, due to the odor. The Post-
master was at a loss to determine
how he would enter the Post Office
without a gas mask.
He decided to borrow Roy Sheetz’s
gas mask to enter the office but Mr.
Sheetz was in bed at the early hour
in the morning, so the Postmaster
entered with difficulty but reached
a window in time to save his life.

Sergeant Simpson was taking seri-

“Under comradeship,” he continued,
modern ones need no suit cases.
“Its all over but the shouting”
said a fellow in the park Saturday
night as he took the last drink out of
his bottle.
I asked a man from town if he saw
any of the army tanks over at Mount
Gretna.
He said: “Yes, a lot of ’em. Those
soldiers drink something awful.”
“we put all that one man would do
for another. For example, Smith, what
would you do if your chum had his
breakfast on the table, his buttons
not cleaned and the bugle went for
parade?’
Smith had the answer ready.
“Well,” he said, “I'd eat his break
fast so's he could clean them buttons
all right!”

Trace Pipe Organ Back
to Earliest Civilization
The story of the pipe organ—the
noblest of musical instruments—
abounds in comance, for its beginning
lies in remote antiquity and its de-
velopment follows the progress of
civilization for more than
Limited space permits only briefest
mention of a few cardinal points in
its history. ‘“ 1
Of first importance, the parent in-
strument was a set of pipes fastened
together in a row and made to sound |
by the
Later some 200 years before Christ,
there came the water organ, which, in
turn, gave place to the bellows type !
of instrument that was first used in
the church about 430 A. D. It is the
bellows type, highly perfected, that
is in common use today.
In this country, our strait-laced |
Puritan ancestors opposed music as
an invention of the Evil One himself,

to fhe middle of the Seventeenth cen-
tury, only that of the crudest kind
was heard. tase,
The real history of the pipe organ
in America began about 1713. with the
importation from Engzland of what
has come to be known as the Brattle
organ, [It came to Boston, Mass., as
the property of Thomas Brattle. a
priminent man of the time, and was
set up in King's chapel.
Other organs were imported in the
years that followed, until John Clemm

Dread of Evil Spirits
Inherent in Papuans
Papuaas are pagan, and largely gov- |
erned by superstitions beliefs handed
down frem generation to generation. |
The Papuan cautiously approaches the
rocks on the shores ot the ocean and |
inland streams lest a spirit that abides
there stir up a storm. A spirit
in the clouds destroys their children,
but the strongest spirit lurks in the
forests. For this reason tribesmen
seldom venture out at night. Papuan
villages are built more for protection
than comfort. Near the sea coast and
rivers many of them are built over
the water, while in the interior they
occupy the hills where the tribesmen
can survey the neighborhood for en-
emy invaders. If a village is in a
valley, it is usually protected by a
high stockade or the huts are in the
tree tops. Tree platforms are the
tribal watch-towers.
Trumped
Dropping into his club, a thirsty
member ordered a bottle of beer, but
before he could enjoy it he was called
away to the telephone. In order to
protect his property he seized the
top card of a pack—it happened to
be the three of diamonds, and. writ:
ing his name upon it, leaned it
1gainst the bottle and went to answer
the call.
