And wheresoever he would go
He rides in sumptuous style;
For nothing in this world, I know,
He’d walk a mile.
—Ema Spencer, in Newark Advocate.
I run from skunks, though I would
trust
A lion or a snake;
Oh, what a whale of a difference just
A few scents make!
—Ted Robinson, in Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
She seems so young a chick, but I
Will tell you with regret
She hath no look within her eye
Of one who’s not scratched yet.
—Patricia Flinn, in Sharon Herald.
Speaking of popular dance steps,
did you ever do the lock step ? Very
thousands of things that are neces-
sary when building a house.
Not so with Monk Montgomery. He
walks around with a piece of chalk or
a pencil continuously and has all the
available space inside the refinery
scratched over, drawing plans. _He
talks of red-wood shingles, lawns,
trees, breakfast nooks, and lets a
horde of carpenters do the work. And
his home in East Baytown continues
to rise and spread.
Zinjgraf says it might be all right
to turn the right cheek when some
bird socks you on the left cheek, but
when some maniac rams into the left
fender of a shiny new Studebaker, the
logical thing to do is to collar him
immediately and take him to a shop
that deals in new fenders.
Paid your bills for last Christmas’
shopping yet?
Bill Sorrels of the Electric Welders
has fallen in line and has purchased a
lot in East Baytown. He is now study-
ing plans for a home. Bill’s single,
too, girls.
The bird who used to always be
broke and complaining of a wife and
four hungry children to feed has noth-
ing on the poor devil with a used Ford
and four hungry cylinders to feed.
Slogan Futility
A porcupine we saw today
Amused us very much;
But he has not, we’re here to say,
A skin you love to touch..

gram.

Sometimes a man can become so ef-
ficient in using a pen that he gets
locked up in one.
Saxon and Droddy are two of the
busiest men in the Department. Each

and is constructing him a home there-
on. Any forenoon they may be seen
straightening out bent nails, chop-
ping off a board, or doing any of the

WAREHOUSE HOT-SHOTS
“Two-To” Goe, the Storeroom Toot-
er, reported at the job several morn-
ings ago with his head bandaged up,
stating, upon being questioned, that
he had been attacked by a wild Ford
truck and “side-swiped.” Alcorn (hun-
dred proof), however, 'being a married
man, would make affidavit to the ef-
fect that the4 marks on Mr. Goe’s had
cause
“They satisfy.”
C. C. (Red) Atwood has taken ex-. vacation to be spent mostly in Hous- Dispatch. ‘
tended leave of absence, on account of ton. This winds up. the vacations for , the best for us
serious illness of his father who lives the Electric Welding Department. -
near Enid, Oklahoma. It is rumored There are a few Gas Welders who have
that “Red” does not intend to return ' ’ 11 " x
alone. Luck to you “Red.” Two may
not live as cheaply as one, but it’s
worth taking a chance for.
The still night air was pierced by a
shrill blast of the call whistle—one
long. An interval of perhaps fifteen
seconds and again it screeched. Far
out on the Tank Farm, Monk Mont-
gomery listened and at the second
blast began speeding afoot through
the mud to the nearest ’phone station.
Again it came! Monk doubled his ef-
forts and jumped an irrigation ditch,
ran through another acre of mud, and
finally reached a ’phone and lifted the
receiver and was connected with the
party calling him. “That you, Monk?”
came a troubled voice. “Yes, yes.
What’s wrong?” Monk asked. “Say,
Monk, somebody got my wire brush.”
Rabbit Welder O’Quinn, “Hope” of
the Welding Department, is doing road
work and generally getting himself
into condition to represent us in a
fistic combat at the Athletic Club at
an early date. If O’Quinn can handle
the boxing gloves as well as he does
the welding arc, we feel assured that
he will give a good account of himself.
A certain W e l d e r—“Well, Myers,
what did you do on your vacation?”
Myers—“Just loafed around a whole
week.”
The same certain Welder—“I see.
Still on your vacation?”
Doc Stork made an early morning
stop at the home of Frank Nolan, Gas
Welder, Wednesday night, Nov. 18, and
left a baby girl who in after years
will be an auburn-haired young lady.
But at the present, Frank says it’s
“Red.”
Myrick dropped a nickel and it roll-
ed under his car. He crawled under
and, with the aid of a flash light, re-
trieved it and went his way rejoicing
until he discovered that he had lost a
dollar during the search.
“Smitty,” Arc Welder, ranchman,
and pecan merchant, according to
Montgomery, Gas Welder, has cer-
tainly got the right idea about selling
pecans. Quite a number of Welders
have received bags of pecans ordered
from “Smitty” some weeks ago.
“Smitty,” upon delivering each ten
pound bag proceeded to eat about five
pounds from each bag just to demon-
strate how good they were and also
that they were of the paper-shell va-
riety. Thanks, Montgomery. We have
securely and safely hidden our ten
pounds.
Julian “Ezra” Clanton has a smile
that won’t wear off, and he came
beaming around the Welding Depart-
ment with a box of cigars. The oc-
casion being a baby girl at his home
near Elena. Thanks fr the smokes,
Ezra.
Zinjgraf and family (wife and Stud-
ebaker) left November 23 for a week’s
She is a maiden fair‘to see,
But she will ne’er be mine;
Whene’er she showsjher teeth to me
I see the danger line.
—Judd Mortiihbr Lewis,’ Hdufeton Post-
look, yea verily, like those made by a
. woman’s most useful household arti-
cle, to-wit, a rolling-pin. We are not
in any way questioning the veracity
of Mr. Goe’s statements, still, at the
same time, we are all from Missouri.
Adobe Dobson, of the Cracking Coil
Warehouse, has hung out the S. R. 0.
sign. He is thinking of taking the
roof off to make more room. We know
he needs it.
Should you desire any information
pertaining to bricks, call upon Broth-
er Miller of the Card Office. No, no,
dear reader, we are not referring to
Gold Bricks.
We understand from reliable sources
that an M. D. has recommended a
complete rest cure for Pitcher Lee
Priesmuth; as it seems, Lee is about to
develop a complete nervous break-
down from “overwork.”
Eddie Goodwin and Roger Bee Shaw
just want to remind all the folks that
it is now only thirty days until Christ-
mas.
A newspaper Household Hint Says:
“If worms attack chairs, they should
be rubbed with paraffin.” But how
are you going to make a worm stay still
long enough to do that? Macon (Ga.)
Telegraph. And again, who in the
Sam Hill is going to massage worms
for anything like a reasonable price?
—Dalton Citizen. (We want to know
what would be considered a reasonable
price for massaging a worm.)
