The correspondent explained
the reason for asking and the
waitress was nonplussed She
couldn’t understand the query at
this late date hut did admit that
she had some insurance. Then
she had a thought.
“If they’re trying to find out
so they can pay some money, is
n’t there some way we can work
it so they .will?” she asked.
A customer who was listening
spoke up: “You might report
that you’re half dead," he sug
gested, “and at least get part of
your insurance.”
But Rachel Rogers didn’t like
the idea at all and went on about
her work.
_A woman in our town, asked
to contribute something for the
Red Jross luncheon at the Bel
mont last Sunday, obliged t>y
whipping up a banana (fresh, live
ones) cream pie, properly
merin-gooed.
At the luncheon certain choice
items were held back from the
hungry customers so they could
be auctioned off. The pie was
bmong the items. '
When the pie was auctioned it
brought $3—from the husband
of the woman who baked it.
We think this speaks very
well for the husband’s opinion of
his w fe’s cooking.
Or it might have something to
do with the fact that the last two
bananas (fresh, live ones) of the
household were in the pie
If kindred experiences make'
kindred souls, then R. R. Lun-I
day, manager of the Orpheum
theatre, soul No. 1, and John
Brodtkorb, liquor dealer, soul
No. 2, are very kindred.
One day ’ast wef-k Manager
Lunday aiose in his apa tmeut
in the theatre to discover that
no water was forthcoming from
his faucets. As in his wont in
such circumstance he went to the
basement, got the blowtorch, got
it to percolating, and disappear
ed uuder the building to thaw
out his frozen pipes Usually
such thawing takes 15 minutes,
but after a full half hour of
warming the cockles of the pipes
still no water appeared.
Down in the other end of town
Brodtkorb (he’s the fellow with
the terrible looking beard) was
having the same experience. For
a full 15 minutes he olied a How
torch to his pipes but it didn’t
seem to do any good
Lunday, after his half hour of
fruit'eos effort, and Brodtkorb
aftef his quarter hour of ditto,
weie both apprised of the same
fact. Work had required that
water on the Erskine line be
shut oil temporarilv. The pipes
were emp’y, not frozen.
Each felt a little foolish to find
he was doing nothing but create
hot air
The thing that, makes it news
of course, is using a blowtorch
to do it
