DIARY ...
The lone gentleman who late
at night on Monday was snoop
ing around a house on Knudsea
apartment hill and ran off into
the brush when the man of the
house came out to investigate,
may be interested in knowing
that as his darkened figure ran
into the brush a shot was fired
at him.
He should be thankful, too,
that in his hurry the man of the
house grabbed the one of his two
guns which was not loaded. He
reports that he has them both
loaded now
“Cappy” Brodtkorb, who does
not like to have his name mis
spelled with a “p” on the end of
it, submits the following as his
favorite story:
In a Kentucky court a negro
was arraigned for trial on a
charge of mayhem. As Exhibit A
for the case the mutilated vic
tim of his wrath was presented,
a lamentable spectacle, before
the eyes of judge and jury. Now
the face of the victim was but
little more than a recent site—a
place where a face once had
been but was no longer.
When the jurors returned a
verdict of guilty the judge,
pointing to the chief complain
ing witness—or what was left of
him—add essed the de endant
solemnly:
“If you caa think of any ex
tenuating circumstances to be
advanced in your behalf, this
[ court is prepared to hear them
now. Personally, I can see no
hope of mitigation unless it were
that sudden and demoniac mad
ness temporarily overcame you
in your fury of rage against this
poor man who sits here, scarred
and maimed. Surely demons
from hell must have prompted
you in what you did. The devil
himself must have urged you on
and on as you worked this
wreck and ruin upon the count
enance of a helpless fellow crea
ture ’’
He paused then, and the pri
soner spoke.
“Well, jedge,” he said, “come
to think it over, I ain’t hore
but whut you’re right. It do
seem lak to me now, ez I looks
back on it, dat. w’en I wuz cut
tin’ his nose loose f’m de rest of
’im wid a razor dat de devil wuz
right behine me sayin’, ‘Da’s
right, cut his nose loose f’m
‘im.’ An’ I spec’s hit must ‘a’
been dem demons you mentions
dat suggested to me stompin’
out his front teeth. But, jedge,
Yo’ Honor”—and here the con
scious pride of a creative gen
ius crept into his tones—“bi
tin’ off his ear wuz stric’ly my
own idea.”

been trying all week to sell her

they bite, they get a toothpick

The campaign against giving
away vital military information
by civilians goes on and so does
the giving away of vital military
information.
Just io check up on the mat*
ter a group in Seattle were re
cently given secret sailing orders,
and Army Intelligence monitor
ed the phone calls from the
camp and listened to the men
telling their wives, sweethearts
and relative-, over the phone,
when, where and how they were
sailing.
Then an Army intelligence
officer would call the same
phone number, to see if the wiv
es, sweethearts and relatives
would divulge the information.
The officer would announce him
self as representing a tobacco
company, saying that if he could
have the address of the boy in
service the company would send
him a free carton of ciga>etles.
In almost every instance the one
he was talking to would say “I
don’t know what his address is
going to be, he’s leaving on the
U S. S.-- next Wednesday.”
Or: ‘‘He’s leaving on the
for Alaska this week,”
Only a stub of the front tower
of the Russian church remain®
standing above floor level as
razing on the structure contin
ues under the direction of Char
les Skinner
On Wednesday the bell tower
was pulled over by tractor. A
first attempt to pull it down was
halted when the top part of the
structure started to fall on
