Dere Rummit:
I don’t know whether you know it or
not, but when the ducks and geese are
on the wing to the great Southland,
when big business men are on the
water-wagon, and when all the kids
are on their best behavior—well that
means Xmas. And, if like me, you
remember taking stock at last New
Year’s and finding that your entire
capital amounted to zero minus, then
you know Xmas means PRESENTS,
varied and assorted, bust mostly ga
lore. Then into your mind flashes vis
ions of the dazzling beauties of your
world and the tenderest memories flit
through your cranium like flies flit
ting through the open doors of the
down town eating houses. And that’s
why this pile of feminine fotographs
are before me.
I think I should have come to bury
the beauties, not to. praise them.
Now here’s Zal Lee—at first I was
afraid she wouldn’t marry me and
then I was afrain she would; and An
ita, great squashes how she could
park the “malteds”; and here’s Min-
nehoho, the only admirable feature
about her was her absence; and ah!
the little dark-eyed Marcheta, but
what a trust she created between the
hamburger men .and my- pqor. pocket-
book. And a lot of the others I met
and fell in love with one night and
forgot the next afternoon. But what
a collection—why. Tom, if they, all
had meant something I might be call-
the Man of a Thousand Romances.
Let it not be thus.
And I wonder what they are all
going to give me. Now Billie could
give me a nice sporty tie, and Nellie a
smoking set, and Rua one of those
sporty refers, and Tiddlewinks a nice
new paid of shoes—now wouldn’t that
be soothing ? But the reaction, what
shall I gladden their young hearts
with? My gift list must not exceed
twenty. Ah! now I have it—I’ll give
Ponjola, the favored one, one of those
gorgeous special Woolworth’s ohe-
cent Christmas cards and THE,
OTHER NINETEEN DITTO. That’s 1
twenty cents, unheard-of extrava
gance, but my soul and conscience will
be AT EASE.
Yours for longer hours (sleeping
hours I mean), .
LES.
“Have you ever been married,” ask
ed the judge.
“Ye-es,” stammered the prisoner.
“To whom ?”
“A woman.”
“Of course it was a woman.”
snapped the judge, “did you ever hear
of anyone marrying a man?”
v ‘Yes sir,” said the prisoner bright
ening, “my sister did.”
Whereupon he got life.
A bootlegger suggests that Amer
icans should boost home trade by buy
ing moonshine instead of imported li
quor. Here is a good chance to die
for your country.
