From the OLrSOURDOUGH 'S NATURE Notebook
* Bang blast it, ain't
like the good 01' days. I remember back
in Anchorage a few years ago when a fel
la could leave his gold, dust, pack, and
all in a tavern and months later come
and find it just as he left it. Well, it
looks like those days are gone forever.
Just the other day I hear some one walks
off with a monkey skull from the museum
and now I hears they done run off with
the Eskimo skull. What'are>we.coming to
anyway? And why would some critter scr
atch a painting on which a ®ailor done"
put many hours. Here's my favorite poem
dedicated to the coyote.
"Evolution"
The Monkeys Viewpoint. • .
Three monkeys sat in a Cocoanut tree
Discussing things as they're sai4 to be.
Said on to the others. "Now listen you
two,
There’s a certain rumor that can't . be
true •
That man descended from our noble race.
The very idea] It's a dire disgrace.
No monkey ever dested his wife,
Starved her baby or ruined her .life.
And you've never known a mother monk
To leave her baby with others tfc bunk,"
Or pass them on from one-to another
'Till they hardly know who is their mom',
(hid another thing] Ybu will never see
u monk build a fence 'round a cocoanut
tree. •;
And let the cocoanuts go to waste • -
Forbidding all other monks.a taste..
Why if I put a fence around this tree..,
Starvation would forceyou to steal from
me.
Here's another thing a monk won't do
[So out at night and get on a stew .
Dr use a gun or club or knife
To take some other monkeys life.
Yes] man descended, the ornery cuss,
But brother he didn't descend from us." "
j Quite often a girl gets rid of a head
ache by telling him she has one.

: , Mary: "Has he. proposed to you'yet?
Jane: "No, but he has an engagement
ring in his voice.”
Expectant Mother: "Would you like a
baby brother or baby sister?"
Four-year-old son: "If its’s not too
much trouble, IT& like a pony."
Sturdley says that marriage teaches
loyalty, tolerance, understanding, per
severance and a lot of other things you
wouldn't need if you'd stayed single.
The honeymoon is over when he stops
helping her with the dishes and starts
doing them by himself.
Astute observation: "You don't make
any footprints in the sands of time when
your sitting down."
