A MIX III*
A co;o ed brotlier after
; much deliberation decided
to marry the second time.
Casting about he soon found
kthe apple of his eve-A wid
o\v with five small children.- All he
hid to -offer her was a small cabin
and five children. This was delightful
ly agreebale, however,and the col
ored knot whs tied forthwith.
In the course of time five children
were born as a result of the marriage,
one day while the father was sleet iug
under a persimmon tree in the back
yrrd a terrific racket began in tl e
front yard.' Soon the wile rushed
to the door crying out, “In de name
61) dei„aud, Joshua, de kidds am all
fighting. Vo chilen and my cl.ilen
ate I illin our chilen. “
A negro teacher fel 1 asleep on a
bench in the school yard. Tl e
children pretending he was dead,
began marching with solemn tread
about the sleeping pedagogue
Each taking a final loot at the
remains. A Youngster, taking it
seriously, as he matched up for 1;is
last look, was heard to remark, “ne
sho looks nature 1 but he smells mighty
bad. ”
Hitting it Up
A guest in a Cincinnati hotel was
shot and killed.The negro porter who
had heard the shooting was a witness
at the trial. “How many shots did you
: he ir?’ ’ asked the lawyer. * ‘Two shots,
sail.” How far apart were they.'”’
“Bout like dis way,” clapping his
hands with an interval of about a sec
ond between them. “Where were you
when the first shot was fired?”
“In de basement shinin’a gemmnns
shoe’”* Where were you when the
se?cid shot was fired?’ ’ “Ah
pissin’de Big Fo’depot.”

S WHAT THEY SAY*
The following telegram came a
few days ago. “Received no April
or May number, nas my subscription
ran out?” Now when a fellow wires
in to know why his paper does not
come it loohs as tho he values the
paper.
We like to get such unintentional
boosters for the N. L. It m y be
well to state here that if m.y of the
paid subscribers have failed to receive
ce.t in copies we will,if notified send
the missing numbers as long as thy
last.
Perhaps the most popular man in
this part of Alaska said in conver
sion recently, “The only complaint
I Ii xve he ir.l w is th it there were to
mmy sermons for a school paper.”
Now if the complaint had been lie
cp. rse of too much joking by Messrs
Wise and Otherwise we would have
felt much worse As an explanation
for committing the act,we state that
we have made use of all school news
se..t in. We h a ve repeatedly asked
for news, but it did not show up. In
l! e future if you deske to keep out
the sermons send along the news.
Isn’t that fair? To make it a school
paper we need your help.
SHKLUNG THU CORN
The editor of this paper came off
and unfortunately left the spelling
machine. So if yon find a mistake do
not blame some innocent K s k i m 6
proof reader. I lame me.Of course it
would be e asy .and I guess the popular
way to s iv/•Thru an over sight of
the ‘proof-reader etc.?”
