B:ir-r e t> , Commito;ifr. - • » Bsr ber, Atyts, I How to Dodge the f i Sheriff **♦ | • | X By Ring lardner To the Editor: A great many of my creditors and tbeir pals has probably been wonder ing that how come that we are loose as a couple years ago I was almost shaking hands with the referee in bankruptcy and where as 1 am now 1 on my ft. again and got pretty near ’ enough money to pay my last Novem ber grosery bill. Well, friends, when 1 find out a good thing I am not the kind of a bird that will keep it to themself but I will pass it along and tell my pals about it so as they can take advan tages and pull themselfs out of the hole the same like I did. Well about a year ago 1 was talk ing with my wife and myself 1 night and she says how is it that I and you are making about 200 berries per wk, more or LESS and we owe every body in Illinois except the govt, and on the other hand here’s the Quayles living next doors to us and him only getting 40 thousand per annum and yet they seem to enjoy themselfs a whole lot more than we and don’t owe nothing. So I said what of It “Well,” she says, “I been reading the magazines a whole lot lately and I seen an ad in 1 signed by the Rainy Day Corporation and it’s supposed to tell the husband and their wife how to get themselfs on their ft. and the course only costs $3.00 so why not let’s subscribe for it and you don't have to pay in advance, but first you get the course and read it and then you can pretend like you don’t care nothing about it and send it back to them and they refund you the 3 spot.” So I said all right like I usually do when she speaks to me at all and she sent for the course and it come iu a form of 5 books, which I didn’t have time to read and she read them and sent it back to them with the words that it was not no good, but at that it was good enough to get us out of our troubles and look at us now. Well, the idear was tins in a few words. In the first place most of our debts was owed In driblets like ten dollars and the book says: “If you owe ten dollars apiece to a whole lot of people in the same town, why the idea Is to quietly move out of that town as far as you can and move to some other town, and the merchants and etc. back in the old town won’t sew you because It would cost more than the debts is worth.” •So one night we quietly moved out of the old town and moved to Great! Neck, and we ■haven’t heard nofWwg since from people we owe money *o. Well the vrext *esson In the course was to get yourself a job that paid more money so 8 day I went down to N. Y. City awfl went in a man's office that I had heard about him, and ; 1 said i wasn't getting enough 'money fn old Oil, *so he said whan did 1 want and 1 said 1 wanted a raise and be gave tft ’to ‘me. So as I siry here, we are living in Great Neck and getting mere salary Than out in -old Chi and ai§ our debts repudiated and they can’t >sew us on ncct. of 'how much it costs on aect. of the distants and here we are liveing Jn the lapse of luxury in Long’s Island and all as we half to do is to keep out of old Chi or go their incognito, and on acct. of the wife seeing the Rainy Day Corporation ad in this here magazine, which the pure read ing matter was so had that she felt like she had 'to read the ads. Now gents I don’t want you to take my testimony without no supports, so 1 will tell you about a couple of friends -of mine along The same lines that was :in as pretty -a pickle like w« and seen the same ad and got the same results as us or ’better as fol lows: beginning with a letter I got from a friend of mine name Chas. Oar toe as follows: “Dear Old Pal. You (know how Mil dred and I used to struggle along while I was earning SIO.OO per week as cierk .in the Bon Ton Market which my unde owned i1 and I was the only heir. Weill one day Mildred read me the Rainy Day Corporation ad in one of the magazines about Ikiw to pull yourself ou* <-*f the rut en -who wrote them and they wrote back advising me to quit being the clerk and 'become the prop, so one day 1 took ,a tbig cleaver and used irt on my -uncle and by the time I got through there wasn't enough left <of him to be prop. J of a soda fountain in Cuba so «ow I and Mildred is running the market and last year we layed away sl.fis.” The other letter is from a carpenter friend of mine that lives at Fifth Avenue and 70 st. and in 2 yre. he was only able to save $2*20.000 so 1 day him and his wife happened to see each other and begin talking and she seen this ad and wrote to the Rainy Day Corporation and they wrote back and (told him to raze be —11 and get more money so he w rote to the union and told them he wouldn’t carp no more unless tfvey "give Mm rhore money so they give him a raze and now he is making more than a et car „ conductor and not haveing. % as good a time. That is the way It come off boys and girls and If y«o are satisfied to go along vvorring about financial mat ters why well and good but if my little talk has showed you the way out why 1 am satisfied without no fur-' ther numerations only the knowledge j Rat i helped drag you out of the j Meyer. ; ’ ' ft? i*r PeP syndicate. Inc t THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO, N, C. | Ring’s Low-Down on % | Deep Subject i T • * 4* Y - ■ . *1 Y By RING LARDNER * ❖ ♦*« *;' > *;**t**;- , t*%—l—i-i***-*!-*;**;—;—;—;*-;-* To the Editor: It seems like as if it was up to me to settle a big argument which has occurred between AJ Mamaux and Jack Kieran. It must be exclaimed that Mr. Kieran is one of the base ball writers on the New York Times and a prominent golf player. Mr. Mamaux is somewhat of a veteran big league baseball pitcher, who used to be the best singer in the big leagues. The argument was reported by Mr. Harry Salsinger of the De troit News. Mr. Salsinger is a tall skinny handsome brunette who looks not unlike the writer only he has more hair. Well it seems like Mr. Mamaux and Mr. Kieran got into a fishing argu ment namely, Mr. Mamaux claimed that If you took a bucket, the bucket would weigh just the same like as if no fish had been dropped into it “A live fish can’t possibly increase the weight of water,” said Mr. Ma maux. “A dead fish, that is differ ent matter, because that would be dead weight” Well they went to a laboratory in Detroit where this bittet- argument started and asked the professor of fish which was right and who was wrong, so the professor said he would make a test but he didn’t have no live fish on hand that day and Mr. Mamaux would not stand for no test being made with a dead fish. Finely they went to a fish market and they had a tub full of water there weigh ing 95 pounds and they found a fish named Carp who weighed three pounds and they put it in the tub and then weighed the total which weighed 97 pounds so Mr. Mamsiux claimed that clinched his argument because in the first place the carp was dead and in the second place he only increased the weight of the tub two pounds whereas the fish man ad mitted that his' weight before being dropped into the tub was three pounds. “That shows how right I am,” said Mr. Mamaux. “No it don’t,” retorted Mr. Kieran, "All it proves is that nobody with any brains should ought to buy fish from this market.” Well friends the reason 1 feel called upon to • horn Into this argu ment is that all my life 1 been mak ing « study of weights and displace meats and etc., and 1 will give you a few facta to prove that It is a very tricky subject and a person should iuot ought to get into no argument In regards to same unless they have* ♦mastered It. " 'lf you will go Into a restaurant ! and order a large glass of milk and weigh it before you touch eup to tip you win find that the total weight 4s .'about one ounce. Then If you wDn wait a few moments till a fly drops •Into the glass and weigh it again, w : h*y the fly Is just a common By and still' alive you will find that the weight of the entire project ain’f In creased even one fly weight bast if the fly was dead when it dropped in. why then will be a Increased weight of 10 and no hundreds minims a spe cially if the fly was a horse fly. On the other hand if you take a pail of water or beer and drop a live rat in same, the weight of the pail will increase exactly as much as tlu rat weighed in the first place and if you make it two rats, the weight will increase pro rata. But i’s one or both of the rats, happens to get drowned, they will come to the surface looking like drowned rats and at the same time proving that they didn’t weigh nothing or they would of sank. It is kind of dangerous to make this test in a pail of beer as the rats goes right to it and are libel to reach the singing stage. The most conclusive test I ever made along these lines was one time when I took a night boat from N Y to Albany on the Hudson river. First it was necessary to weigh the river and then the boat w’hen it was empty and afterwards when all the passen .gers got a board. Then I made all the passengers come into the w T eigh ing room and get weighed one by one When the boat got to Albany the next morning the river looked just like it did the last time I was up ithere. Prof. Sump of Severe University. :New Hampshire, once made a experi jnent which perhaps proves more than the ‘foregoing. He weighed all the passangers that was going on a trip from New York to Cherbourg and then weighed them all again when the ship got to (’herbourg. They didn't weigh jiowheres near a-s much. Prof. Bump wus much impressed. .(© 4>v »he Bell Syndicate. 1.ne..)

My Favorite Stories fs> Bywiai Jtm €3oB»g» A Personal Interpretation ago. when I was a reporter ■ for a New York evening paper and covered trials at the criminal courts building, there was an elderly and verj devout Irishman caiiled “Mac” for short, who had h In part two ol* general sessions. It was his duty to? keep order und to act as doorkeeper on occasion, and sometimes to serve as a sort of usher. But he particularly shone on those occasions when he was* called upon to aid tn taking the so called “pedigree” of a newly-convicted defendant. In this matter a certain routine Id variably was followed. The prisoner would be arraigned at the bar. Mat would station himself alongside and In an undertone put to him certain questions, and then call out the an swers to the clerk, sitting fifteen feet away, who duly would record them od the hack of the Indictment. This cere mony was more or less automatic since from long experience tbe old man knew exactly what facte regard ing the prisoner’s past life be most ascertain. As the convicted man osu ally made his responses in a low tone only the functionary’s booming voice would he heard as he chanted bis own version of tbe disclosures lost mad* to him. One day a youth of most forbidding appearance, who had beeD found guilty of attempted highway robbery was brought up. Mac ranged op to j bim and Id a friendly* confidential r half-whisper asked him for his right f name. „ “Henry Smith.” returned the youth In a surly grumble, out of one cornet .of his month. .j “He says ‘Henry Smith. Mr Clerk, i called out Mac. He -turned again to < the malefactor: I “Rorn in the Oniled States?” “Sure-- Brooklyn.” “Native-born Mr Clerk.” ‘ “Any religious instruction In yom vtituh. yuung mnn?" 1 “No!” shortly. “Protestant Mr Clerk.” .
