A PROBLEM IN CHEMISTRY.
He—Dearest, our engagement is off.
A fortune-teller just told me that I was
to marry a blonde in a month.
She—Oh, that's all right. I can be a
blonde in a month.
TIMID GIRL.
"My gal saw'a mouse yesterday," an-
nounced Cactus Joe. "She's powerful
afeared on 'em."
"What's she do?" queried Alkali Ike.
"Picked up rattlesnake by the tail an'
whipped the mouse to death."
"EASY."
"What all was dat ruckus gwine on
at yo' house las' night?"
"Dat? Why, dat was nothin' only de
gemman f'um de fu'niture sto' collectin'
dem easy payments."
He—"How is that back tire on your
side, dear?"
She, looking over the side of the car—
"Oh, it's all right. It's flat on the bot-
tom, but it's round on top."
NO CHANCE FOR MICE.
"Say, Mr. Levinsky," complained a
customer to his grocer, "them crackers
you sold me yesterday was gnawed
around the edges. Must have been mice
in em.
"Mice! In my crackers ?" retorted Le-
vinsky contemptuously. "Shure not.
Vhy every night my cat sleeps in it the
cracker barrel. How could mice get in,
I ask you?"
REASSURANCE.
Willie had reported to teacher that
his mother was ill after a general re-
quest for information during a smallpox
scare. The teacher told him to hurry
back home, discover the exact nature of
the ailment and report. Shortly this
note arrived from the mother:
"Dear Miss Brown: Don't worry. It's
only a boy and that's not contagious."
FULL PROGRAM.
The aspirant to fame sighed heavily.
"Tomorrow I must go out and build a
few better mouse traps," he said.
"Next week, if time permits, I must
deliver the message to Garcia, if I can
find out where the bozo lives and what
the note should contain.
"In a few more weeks, when the
weather permits, I must discover a for-
mula for the ounce of prevention, so oft-
en desired but never to be had in drug
stores.
"Meanwhile, I'll just get out my lines
and do a little fishing."
IT DELAYED THE PLAY.
"Othello" was being played by colored
home talent. At the place where Othello
asks Desdemona where the .handker-
chief is which he had given her the
Moor approached Desdemona and cried:
"Des-da-mona, wha' is dat han'k'chief ?"
No answer.
Louder: "De-De-Des-da-mona, wha'
is dat han'k'chief?"
Still no answer.
Still louder: "De-De-Des-da-mona, I
command yo' to give me dat han'k'-
chief!"
Just then an old negro woman arose
in the rear of the room and exclaimed,
"Look heah, nigger, wipe yo' nose on yo'
sleeve an' let dat play go on!"
THE PREFIX.
"Yes," said the teacher, "there are
a number of flowers and plants with
the prefix 'dog*—for instance, 'dog-
rose' and 'dog violet.' Can any of you
name another?"
There was a silence for a moment;
then a boy at the back called out proud-
ly, "Please, Miss—collie flower."
A DOUBLE MISTAKE.
A stylishly-dressed, pompous-looking
dame swished into a street car and soon
after settling herself missed her hand-
bag. Of course, an unkempt working-
man, and Irish, must have taken it, and
she so accused him point blank. A final
look located the missing bag on the floor
under her and she began to apologize.
"Niver mind it a bit, mum," protested
the accused. "Ye thought I wuz a thafe
an' I thought ye was a lidy, an' both av
us wuz wrong."
There was a young fellow named Izzie,
Who went for a drive in his Lizzie.
And raced with the train,
WThich was foolish and vain.
He was buried, next day—poor Izzie.
MAKING IT WORSE.
A ladies' ready-to-wear shop in which
I was working was having its spring
opening. There were many wax models
dressed up and standing around.
Crowds had been coming all afternoon.
I was standing in back of a woman
and all of a sudden saw her bend for-
ward.
I thought it was one of the wax
models falling, so made a sudden grab
at her. My action was so abrupt and
I was so embarrased that I made it
worse by saying, "Oh, excuse me, I
thought you were a dummy."
AN EARLIER EDITION.
Robert Louis Stevenson and Mark
Twain were engaged in conversation in
New York one day when the subject
turned to the gullibility of the great
American public.
"How could you Americans believe
the outrageous claims of the late P. T.
Barnum and his preposterous posters?
I wonder where he got his ideas?
"Probably from England," said Mark.
"Once I went to an exhibition of curiosi-
ties in London where they displayed the
skull of Oliver Cromwell.
" 'But this cannot be the skull of the
great Protector,' I said to the exhibitor,
'for tyiis is a very small skull and Oliver
Cromwell was noted for his very large
head.'
"Oh,' said the exhibitor, 'but this was
his skull when he was a very small
boy.'"
JAZZING FLORIDA.
Florida is the chin whiskers of the
United States. It is six hundred miles
long, two hundred miles wide and three
feet high. It is bounded on the north by
the eighteenth amendment and on the
other three sides by the three-mile limit.
Florida is inhabited by Indians,
Americans, white men and feedbag
tourists, sometimes called tin-canners.
The reds live on the Everglades, the
blacks live on the whites, and the whites
live on the tourists, and the tin-canners
on the municipal camping grounds.
Florida's principal sources of income
are hotels, fruits, alligator skins, tour-
ists and the vest-pocket press agents of
California. But the one big outstanding
feature of Florida is its fruit: Orange
raising coming first, of course. Raising
oranges in Florida is a cinch; all that
is required is enough money to live on
while raising them.
Grease should be forced into the bear-
ings until it is seen exuding from the
opposite ends of the joints, as this indi-
cates that the hardening grease has
been forced out of the grease passages.
Brakes should be adjusted every
1,000 miles. Brakes that are not adjust-
ed and equalized properly will rattle,
chatter and squeak. The tread on one
or more of the tires is soon worn down,
the frame of the car is distorted with
strain and the wheels lose their align-
ment.
Pedestrians are responsible for a
great many automobile accidents. Too
many jay-walkers ramble about without
restraint, crossing thoroughfares where
it is not convenient for them to do so, j
getting in the way of motorists who ;
have the right-of-way and generally !
blocking traffic. Of the 21.000 men, !
women and children killed by automo-
biles during 1925, approximately three-
fourths of them were pedestrians.

A UNIVERSAL FOOD IN CANS ORDER BY THE CASE
THREE STATES SEEK
CROCKETT'S RIFLE.
In view of competition be-
tween the States of Tennessee
and Arkansas for Davy Crock-
ett's famous rifle, the Alamo
Museum, of San Antonio, will
apply to its present owner,
Miss Beth Crockett, of Little
Rock, for the gift of the relic
for its collection. Mrs- A. F.
Small, custodian of the
Alamo, is making a written
application for the gun on the
grounds that the Alamo, the
scene of Crockett's martyr-
dom, is the most fitting place
for it to rest.
Miss Crockett, who is 16
years old, is the last of the
Crockets, and the sole owner
of 'the rifle. Tennessee, the
native State of her illustrious
great - great - grandfather, is
appealing for the relic on the
score of his birthplace. Ar-
kansas is making an appeal on
the ground that several gen-
erations of the Crocketts have
lived there and that Davy
himself went on many hunt-
ing expeditions in that State.
The old weapon is about
100 years old and was used for
many years by its famous
owner. In gold letters on the
side are engraved two lines of
a poem by Crockett, including
his famous motto, "First be
sure you're right, then go
ahead."
The gun was given Crock-
ett by a party of young men
of Philadelphia when he was
a member of Congress.

JOHN WAN A MAKER'S
TRIBUTE TO NEWS-
PAPERS.
The late John Wanamaker
once paid a tribute to news-
paper advertising which is
worth recalling occasionally.
In discussing his early days
in business, during which he
laid the foundation for his ca-
reer a^ America's leading
merchant prince, he said:
"Our little allowance of ad-
vertising money went to the
newspapers then, as it does
| nearly altogether today, be-
! cause if I ever have a monu-
ment for discovering any-
thing, it will be for finding
out that the only advertising
of direct and instant benefit
to both merchant and .cus-
tomer is in the newspaper of
known circulation. All others
i are vanity and vexation of
! spirit. To have learned this
fact has greatly helped my en-
terprises, though often there
has been serious discomfort in
saying so publicly and in
breaking away from posters
and leaflets."
\
An old spark plug may be the cause
of a lot of serious engine trouble. If the
porcelain cracks it may fall into the
cylinder and eventually get under a
valve seat. If a bit of wire falls off the
plug the cylinder wall may be badly
scratched.
Before attempting to do any motor
repair work, such as removing the
cylinder head or dropping the crank-
case, it is a good plan to get the engine
thoroughly warmed up first. All the
nuts, bolts and screws turn with less
effort when warm.
Thousands of motorists whose auto-
mobiles do not have self starters are
injured every year because they do not
know how to crank the machine. Al-
ways pull the crank up, not down, and
don't spin it unless absolutely neces-
sary. When grasping the crank place
the thumb on the same side of the han-
dle with the fingers.
TEXAS WOMAN GETS 99
YEARS.
Ninety-nine years in the
penitentiary was the sentence
imposed by a jury in District
Court, at La Grange, upon
Mrs. Ella Jones, after she had
entered a plea of guilty in
connection with the fatal
shooting of her husband, J. P.
Jones, on the night of May 8.
