ALASKA GARDEN THOUGHTS
The sturdy rutabago and the potato, good reliable
citizens both, push their way through in spite o a ie
clamorous weeds that hedge them round they say
we have a mission to perform in the world and t ie
weeds only blossom and smile and cling a little olo*ei.
The weeds, who haven’t a thing on earth to do,
bring out a lot oi blossoms and wnispei to the bee,
that old potato grouch over there? He wont have a
thing to do with me.v The bee, being a diplomat, sa>s
nothing but kisses her goodbye and sails around a while
and lands at Mr. Potato blossom’s place. The old
bachelor looks up and says “Hello". The bee says, ‘ bay,
what’s the matter with you, Spud? Those girls over
there would like to get acquainted.”
“What? with me!” exclaims Mr. Potato. ‘ iou
know doggone well Mr. Bee that I never roam around
many eyes I need sleep.” “But said the bee, with a signif
much besides I think they’re frivolous and I’ve got so
many eyes I need sleep.” “But said the bee, with a signi
ficant wink, “Miss Larkspur arrived just a breif time
back and she has the bluest eyes you ever saw. They
say she’s poison and drives people loco.” She’s tali and
straight and dances like anything in the moonlight.”
“Zat so?” says Mr. Potatoes he stirred around and
buckled up his belt “Maybeso you could get me an in
troduction.” The bee said “Sure,’ and flew away. That
fall when Old Si came along with his hoe all he found
was some nubbins.
CERVANTES LIVES!
While engaged in the humble and peaceful pursuit of
delivering to his tailor a package containing his trous
ers, Aaron Wiklund, local and respected citizen (time
4 p. m., Sept., 10; witness, one Bert Lee) was cunningly
and surreptiously apprehended and divested of his ac
coutrements by one Boyes, “Red-eye sleuth” stealth in
manner, guileful and shrewd in the art of detecting.
Ludicrous, but true, the parcel in question contained no
“Third Rail”. As in the past, sobriety prevails.
What's the use of worrying? If you have a few
cows and a horse and a wife that will keep the old acre
spaded up, - what more could a man want.
Some who stand for progress are content to re
main standing.
These endurance tests give us a pain in the neck;
they try the public's powers of endurance, also.
