Rambling Around
Odd Bits of This, That and the Other

Iter astonishes his friends with
le "pickling" of more than two
fcore years ago.
The cucumbers are a little light
' in cnlnr than the fresh ones, but
Kher than that, they appear ready
pr the table.
Down in Canton, the mayor of
lat industrial city, Sam M. Robin
Ira, has a spot in his back yard
bat could well be called "Little
Peon." Mr. Robinson has bear
prune trees and grows uddles
filberts the improved hazel
lit, The prunes are now ripe, and
Ire delicious. The filberts are
tweeter than the usual commercial
pel nut found at stores. The
runes are larger than those which
te dried and packed. "His honor"
id that the fresh prunes stewed
'as really a dish.
Mr. Robinson lived m Oregon for
pe time, and found that their
panes and nuts were so delicious
lat he imported several trees of
Pch when hp rama Tinnlr fn Iiva in
laywood. The trees have flourish-'
ed, and have bumper crops, which
proves, as Mayor Robinson said:
"Almost anything good that grows
can be grown in Haywood County."
The war has brought about many
changes in business. Some people
complain all the time, while others
take it as it comes their way.
Robert Pearce, the baker, finds the
shortage of sugar gives him time
for a vacation which he otherwise
would not take. For the next few
days his place of business will be
closed to allow his sugar stock to
increase.
The prize winning story of the
month in the Rotarian Magazine
has more than a touch of humor in
it there's real truth and logic in
the yarn, which is supposed to be
true:
The late General Manager Mer
rill, of the Milwaukee Railroad,
was a man who had run the whole
gamut of railroad service, and he
liked to show his subordinates what
he knew. One day the directors'
special stopped for a few moments
at Savanna, Illinois, and old Mike
Flaherty, the car repairer, came
along with his hammer tapping the
wheels lightly.
Mr. Merrill hustled up. "That's
said. Grabbing the hammer he
said. Grapping the hammer he
struck the wheels a smart blow.

John fondle his pet cat on the lawn

"That's the way to do it!"
Old Mike expressed his disgust
in a few selected sentences, snatch
ed the hammer, and resumed his
work.
"Do you know who that was,
Mike?" asked the conductor.
Mike consigned the person and
his name to a place hotter than
Savanna.
"Well, Mike, that was Mr. Mer
rill, general manager of the road."
Mike reminated on this for a
while, and finally concluded that
the conductor was right. Enter
ing the car, he approached Mr.
Merrill, hat in hand, and with a
profound bow he said, "Mr. Merrill,
sor, I didn't know it was yez, and
ye know how it is yerself whin a
damn fool comes, around and inter
feres with yer wurruk."
Hubby: "Darling, I want to tell
you how to wear your hair differ
ently." Wifey: "That's nice of you,, dear.
I'm all ears."
Hubby: "Yes, that's why I want
you to wear your hair differently!"
A fool and his money are soon
petted.
She: "I'm all made up to kiss.
What are you waiting for?"
He: "For the paint to dry."

into life . . . take the experience
of a busy line the other day and
heard a woman's voice say, dulcet
ly: "Why don't you come out this
afternoon? My husband is out of
town."
"You're sure he is?" questioned
a man 3 voice suspiciously.
"Certainly. He packed his bags
and left on the morning train for
St. Louis."
This was too much for the hus
band so he broke into the conver
sation; "The dickens I went to St
Louis."
