It appears that the burnt child
does not always dread the fire, es
pecially when the “child” is a sus
ceptible elderly bachelor. A case is
noted of a gentleman in London, who,
after paying one award of 100 pounds
sterling, in a breach of promise suit,
courted the same lady again. He
has just been penalized another 35
pounds for a second violation of his
promise to marry her. Next time
i ten pounds will probably be consul
ered about right.
To create comment for advertis
ing a forthcoming picture, a South
ern movie house slipped placards
bearing the words “Guard Your Se
crets” under the doors of many res
idents. One citizen, not recogniz
ing the advertising feature of the
stunt, poured several gallons of home
brew into the sewer. Truly, “the
wicked flee when no man pursueth.”
After an extensive canvass of traf
fic officers, a Milwaukee newspaper
finds that women drivers are more
careful and observant of regulations
than men. Probably the most men
acing driver is the one who attempts
to operate from the back seat.
The town of Marcellus, Mich., is
anxious to employ a man to combine
the functions of town marshall, li
brary janitor, street commissioner,
and waterworks superintendent. He
would no doubt be considered an ex
tra hazardous risk in life insurance
circles.
Three sailors cast away on one of
the Solomon isles in the Pacific for
five years, have recently been res

If you’re troubled with the Gout
Just spend two-bits for Saur Kraut
Then if you think you’re feeling; worse
Spend two-bits for Weiner Werse
Or if your heart is all a quiver
Take home a couple pounds of Liver
Then if you still feel kind of Bum
Then we might prescribe a nice Beef Tongue
But if you’re troubled with sharp pains
Try Meadowbrook Eggs & Scrambles Brains
Jf this don’t make the world look brighter
Just tell your troubles to the writer
And anything he might suggest
Is guaranteed to be the best.
