From what we have observed, there are
more headaches in a bottle of hoock than
formerly were contained in a whole bar

The Pilot man once heard a girl say she
had acquired calloused feet from wearing
shoes that were too large for her, but we
never saw the shoes.
The parlor is filled when an engaged
girl and her victim take possession of it.
And so the immigrants have an average
of $85, Not to mention 17 deceases.
Commodity prices have fallen according
to Bradstreet’s. But Gunter’s grocery store
doesn’t seem to handle this line.
A New Jersey man is spending a year
in jail rather than return to his wife. He
probably figures that he will get some time
off for good behavior which would not be
the case at home.
A headline says Dorothy Dalton has lost
part of her wardrobe. Well, well! The
Pilot man has seen Dorothy in a couple of
plays fixed up in a way that led to the
conclusion she never had a wardrobe.
If the Pilot man’s pay is slim and he
can’t get into the new office safe, what
would Judge Landis advise him to do!
These short skirts have robbed many
an ankle, formerly considered pretty, of its
illusions.
In these days whenever a man is told
what to take for a cold his snappy come
back is “where can I get it.”
Seven districts out of seventeen in Alle
gheny county, Maryland, have voted dry
for twenty years recently back-fired and
when the ballots were all counted had de
clared themselves overwhelmingly wet.
This may mean something in the abstract
but the concrete results will not prove of
sufficient importance to warrant getting
excited over the situation.
Prohibition may be a dead issue, as Mr.
Bryan says, but it seems to be costing an
awful lot to bury it.
Answering the paragrapher who asks
‘what has become of the old-fashioned
man who used to advise his son to get
married,” we respectfully submit that he
is now supporting his grandson in a kick
against his father of sixty-five who wants
to wed a chicken of twenty-three.
About all a romantic girl has left these
days is to marry a man in order to cure
him of the craving for the liquor habit.
It strikes us that wild oats have come
in for a lot of odium that ought be attached
to rye and corn.
It has about gotten so in the cities that
the taxicab men will rob you if you ride
and the holdup men will rob you if you
walk.
Speaking of bootleg whisky, one swallow
doesn’t make a spring but it frequently
sends a man to a Warmer climate.
The trouble with the man with the iioe
is he is apt to lay it down for the lure of
the city where he can see the hose.
A minister may become unpopular, but
short sermons have never been the cause
of it.
We’ll bet the Pilgrims, who made a law
against kissing their wives on Sunday,
didn’t make one against fussing with them
on Sunday.
One hears less of the I Wont Work Club
these days, which, somehow or other
doesn’t tend to allay the Pilot man’s sus

Miss Fannie Gunter was taken suddenly
ill last week and for a time her life was
despaired of, but her guardian, Grandpap
Gunter was very attentive to her wants.
He sent for the doctor, but he being out of
town Grandpap administered several doses
of spirits of nitre, which reduced her fever
and when she retu’ed on Thursday night
her condition was somewhat improved. In
fact so much that the next morning when
Grandpap Gunter went to her apartment
he was surprised to find quite full of life.
Her muleship had improved so much that
she would have kicked the slats out of any
person that came within reach of her hind
hoofs. Fannie has been in the Gunter
family for nearly thirty years, and no bet
ter mule ever trotted up the railroad track
than she. Grandpap Gunter, of course, is
the happiest man in town because of her
complete recovery.

instant. We not only appreciate the kind
ness of the people, but the motive that
prompted it. THE FAMILY.
