OWL LAFFS

A WISE OWL

I've heard a great many fish stor-
ies during the last week and some of
them were pretty “tall” so I won't
contaminate my column with them.
I was wondering if “Lecky” Mum-
mau wore his brother's new hat like
last year. I couldn't find out about
the hat but:

I did hear that “Lecky” took his
girl along trout fishing one day last
week and everything was going love-
ly. She didn’t giggle and scare the
fish away or talk continuously abou!
her new Easter outfit. But after
“Lecky” had landed his fourth trout
she very sweetly remarked: “No
wonder you like to fish. It makes the
little fish so happy to be caught”
Surprised “Lecky”’ asked: “How do
you know?” And she explained:
“Why, they're always wagging their
tails when you pull them from the
water.”

I feel safe in saying none of you
veteran fishermen ever looked at it
that way. Just think how happy you
can make some nice little fishes by
going out and catching them.
The fellows at the Fire House were
“parked” at the windows on Sunday
watching the Easter parade. Finally
they saw one of their buddies ap-
proaching and Roy Eshleman, resplen
dent in white flannels and white
shoes, remarked: “See anything fun-
ny in the suit that Tim Schroll is
wearing?” Johnny Schroll answered:
“Sure, Tim.”
Up at Fellenbaum’s gas station
last night, a fellow who had stopped
for gas, got out a cigarette and pro-
ceeded to strike a match on the gas
tank. “Watch out, fellow,” warned
“Johnny.” “Don’t strike a match on
the gas tank.” Laughingly, the
stranger exclaimed: “It's all right.
Don’t get excited. This is a safety
match.” And some people
live to a ripe old age.

Met a fellow at Harrisburg on Sat-
urday who used to live in town until
two years ago. Naturally I asked:
“What are you doing for a living?”
“I just got a new job,” he explained,
“Monday I start selling underthings
to nudists.” Puzzled. I inquired:
“What do you mean Underthings to
nudists.” He laughingly replied: “Cu-
shions.”
When Lester Funk called on his
girl Wednesday night he sat on the
sofa and patiently waited for her to
finish “primping.” Her little brother,
who had been sitting there with him,
suddenly asked: “How long is quite
a while?” “Les” answered: “The
length of time your sister really
means when she says that shell be
ready in a minute.”
A local Freshman, back at high!
school, said: “Prof. may I pull down |
the shade? The sun is shining in on |
me.” The prof answered: “No, let |
it alone. The sun is conductive to
the ripening of GREEN things.”
Have you heard of the sword
swallower who, when his salary was
cut, used only paring knives?

“There are an awful lot of girls
who don’t want to get married,” com
plained Bill Mateer. “How do you
know?” asked his friend. “I've asked
them,” explained Bill...... Nice fel-
low, not at all egotistical.
A sweet young thing from Salunga
went into the Cut Rate and inquired:
“Have you any good hair tonic?”
“Why, yes — ,” answered Harold
Backenstoe pleasantly, “but your
hair looks perfect.” Blushingly, the
little lady said: “Oh, I don’t want it
for myself—You see, the fur is fall-
ing out of my coat.”

Isn't it funny that when we are all
tired OUT that we're usually all IN?
Sunday afternoon when all the
“femmes” were sporting their Easter
finery I gingerly walked up to one
and said: “Hello beautiful. That's a
aood looking dress you have on
there. What color is it?” “It's =

burnt orange dress,” she coyly res
Use of Coal Tar Colors
In addition to the dyeing of cloth,
coal tar colors have a number of other
important uses. They are used to col-
or inks, typewriter ribbons, carbon pa-
pers, and such things. Then there is
their use as artificial food colors; and
also coloring agents for some of the
cheaper American liquors, which, in
appearance at least, rival the best that
Europe can produce. Another impor-
tant use is that of employing certain
dyes as photographic sensitizers, which
have increased the field of vision of
the camera and have enabled it to pho-
tograph even the invisible,
The Pauper’s Oath
The pauper’s oath is one which is
permitted to persons undergoing bank-
ruptcy and in some other cases, where-
by on the giving of a stutement sup-
ported by oath that the person is with-
out any available assets, either per- |
sonally owned or in expectation, he
may be released from the payment of
certain obligations and permitted te
re-establish himself on a solid finan-
cial foundation free from debt.
Cannot See in Total Darkness
Neither dog nor cat can see in total
darkness, contrary to popular belief,
Because of aptness. in negotiating
dark environs, they have been so cred-
ited. This is accomplished, not through
vision, but through the sense of smell
and the aid which their whiskers give
them in feeling their way.
Ceylon Is Old
Ceylon is one of the oldest settled
areas of the earth. No other imper-
tant subdivision of Asia has been so
long under European influence. The
Portuguese controlled it for more
than a century and a half, the Dutch
for 140 years and since 1798 it has
been a British colony.
The House of Rothschild
The original name of the Rothschild
family was Bauer, the founder of the
house being Mayer Anselm Bauer
(1743-1812). He set up as a money
lender at the Sign of the Red Shield
(Rothschild). It was from this sign
that the family took its name of Roth-
schild.
Grand Ribbon Decoration
A Grand Ribbon is simply a decora-
tion of honor conferred upon a citizen
of the United States by a foreign gov-
ernment or foreign ruler. The De-
partment of State says that any dec-
oration of this kind may not be re-
ceived by any person holding an office
of profit or trust under the United
States as provided in a section of the
Constitution. When such honor is con-
ferred by a foreign government it is
held by the Department of State for
the recipient until such time as he
may give up his position.
Old-Time Conveyance
Not many years ago on the plains of
Argentina, the gauchos, or cowboys.
used a unique method of conveying
their wives to and from town. The
lady would sit on a dried horsehide
while the gentleman, mounted on his
horse, would drag it along the ground
by a long rope tied to his saddle. All
she had to do was to hang on tightly
when going over the bumps and keep
from choking on the dust stirred up by
the horse.—Collier's Weekly.

plied. “Burnt orange,” I repeated.
“Yes, I bought it at a FIRE sale, but
don’t tell anyone,” she explained.
Dumb Dora was staying at the
Lancaster Y last week and one day
when she went to the desk the coach
asked: “Did you take a swim this
morning?” And Dora very innocent-
ly said: “No. Is there one missing?”

When a man’s word is law around
the house, he’s usually repeating
what his wife said.
Young Joe Witmer and Nick Par-
rell were on their way to school this
morning when they noticed two girls
standing at the bank corner waiting
for a bus. Nick remarked: “That
girl is from Panama.” “How can
you tell?” asked Joe. “By her
LOCKS,” answered Nick. ...... Just
then all Joe's books “accidently” hit
Nick's head. .
During history class the teacher
asked: “If the President, Vice-Presi-
dent, and all the Cabinet members
died, who would officiate?” Martha
Bennett answered: "The undertaker.”
Joe Detweiler complained: “I'm los
ing my hair from worrying.” “What
are you worrying about?” asked
Georgie Shatto. “Losing my hair”
answered Joe.

When the paper says the bride is
twenty-four and the groom sixty, it
isn’t necessary to add that he is con-
sidered one of the richest men in
the country.

One beautiful sunny morning a lit-
tle girl on Donegal St. looked out of
the window and exclaimed: “Look,
mummy, the trees are leaving!” "Yes
darling,” said her mother, “but how
did you know?” The little girl ask-
ed: “Can’t you see their trunks?”....

‘Bassoon Is Called “Ihe
Clown of the Orchestra”
The bassoon is an instrument of
great antiquity. Its name suggests
an instrument taking the bass part,
and that is exactly what it does. In
Italian its name is “fagotto,” which
means “stick” in English. Now it is
easy to see how this instrument came
by its name, for it really resembles a
bundle of five sticks, which, when fit-
ted together, form a wooden tube about
eight feet long.
The tube is doubled back upon itself,
the shorter joint extending about two-
thirds of the length of the longer part,
whereby the height of the instrument
is reduced to about four feet. A curved
brass tube which ends in a double
reed mouthpiece is attached. The
tones produced by the bassoon are
often warm and mellow, but sometimes
they are so comical as to have earned
the name “the clown of the orchestra”
for this instrument, notes a writer in
the Washington Post.
Rapid passages on the bassoon sound
best in its natural key of G or close
ly related keys. Trills are prac
ticable, though not on every note. In
general the tone-color of the bassoon
is so striking that the composer need
only write passages of straightfor-
ward character for it, without making
it do technical tricks.
The bassoon has been a favorite with
nearly all the great masters, Beethoven
uses it largely in his symphonies, writ-
ing everywhere for it independent
parts of great originality. Where
Beethoven used the bassoon in rather
grotesque fashion, Mendelssohn han.
dled it more daintily. The latter com-
poser gave the bassoon many bits of
inimitable humor in his “Midsummer
Night's Dream” music.

Some Games Are Too Old
to Be Traced to Source
The origin of games is lost in an-
tiquity and some which are still played
are too old to be traced to their source.
Herodotus tells us, says Tit-Bits Mag-
azine, that most of them were invent-
ed by the Lydians as a palliative at
a time of acute famine which lasted
18 years. The Lydians decided to play
games one day and eat on the next.
They claimed to be the inventors of
many popular Greek games, includ-
mg knuckle-bones, ball and dice.
During the excavation of the palace
of Minos in Crete an ornate back-
gammon board was discovered. The
Greeks played a game called azyx,
which was adopted by the Romans
and became the Twelve-Line game,
and survives today as backgam-
mon. Subsequently Roman officialdorm
frowned upon games involving dice
because they led to heavy gambling.
Chess is reputed to be of Indian
origin, and it must be the game which
has been played longest without any
alteration of rules, since castling was
introduced in the Sixteenth century.
McKinley Sunday School Man
The late President William Mec:
Kinley attended a school managed
by Presbyterian and Methodist clergy-
men. When but twenty-four he was
chosen superintendent of the Sunday
school. How deep-seated was his re-
ligious instinct was made manifest
when, at Buffalo, September 6, 1901.
he was mortally wounded by an as-
sassin, “It is God's way,” he said.
“His will, not ours, be done,” John
Hay declared: “President McKinley
showed the world how a Christian gen-
tleman should live and how a Chris-
tian could die.”
