j I met Jack Noon on the street this
; morning and lie said lie had a couple
of little jags and was looking for Hohen
to haul them away.
And 1 looked him over.
And In* was perfectly sober.
Ami I asked him if he meant that a !
| couple of drunks had crawled into his
| woodshtd and gone to sloop.
Because if they had,
■ ’
He bettor call the marshall.
—
And he said _
Jags of lumber is what 1 mean.
j And just then along came Hohen
leading a mule hitched
j -- -- )
To a dump carl
Loaded with gravel
To fill a hole in the street.
And he admitted that he didn't have
! a permit from the council to make
aforesaid improvement.
And l told him he’d better hurry up
, and haul away Councilman Noon’s jugs'
or he’d have him jagged.
I mean Joon’s nags
No, Noogs gags —
NO
Hold on, wait a minute,
Noon’s jags, or he. Noon, might
have him. Hoben, jugged.
Gee, but I am glad I got that out of
my system.
“Billy** Butts, who Guilt a fence up
to hi* property line in the alley between
his More and tho Branch, to stop traf
lice acros* hi* property, told me this !
morning, that
It might come down,
i
—
Kor good,
Its been down twice
Already,
But went lip again.
j
JJJCan Bill have ment that as an invita*
! tion for the next fellow who runs |
against it in the dark,
To carry it home for firewood?
,Iud ■ M me something to put in this
column awhile ago, hut a lot of war
news came in, i
And I forgot what he said.
And .!ud says he can’t remember all
the cute things he says,
So I guess I’ll have to leave it out.
'l’oo bad.
