| | | THE ‘TWENTIETH CENTURY’ LIMITED Arms Don’t Count Now The big fish now on display in the‘ Battles 'hardware store window must be the one that has always gotten away from so many anglers. Now the fellow with the long arms won’t have anything on the guy that caught this one. You know the old story: “The fiish I caught was s——6 ft.——o long.” | ~Some Reach— Not Considerate A St. Paul photographer in taking a picture for a St. Paul paper recent- | 1y displayed a bevy of girls who were to appear in a big entertainment | there. Readers were told that iti was a display of ‘models but a display of clothes. In that case we suggest that the photographer should have draped the picture. —The Lower Half— | She Knows Many a little girl has tired of the golden haired doll and now wants a doll with hair like her mother’s—the kind she can take off and put on at her pleasure. i In that case the little girl does not differ so much from the society | dames who arefin favor of detachable | ‘eyebrows. —Except in Age— Picturesk _ Light Occupations Just imagine what might have hap- | pened if Alladin had only lived to own a lamp like this one! But chances are he would have had every- thing that he wanted by this time,! since he was a man. —Not So With Women— Now We Know 1t is said that lawyers seldom go fishing because they find it extreme- ly hard to bring the evidence into court. Still there are lots of people who go fishing and remind us of law- yers. —In Name Only— Alas, But One Left Luke McLuke asks: “Why don’t all the bores in the country get to- gether and hold an elimination con- test and talk one another to death , until there is only one left?” Yes, why don’t they? But then, who would bury the one that is left? According to some people’s opinion, there would be only one left after all the bores have gone. —But, Who Is Not a Bore?— Weeping for Joy A man in North Dakota was re- cently freed from a charge preferred against him and in the joy of the moment he placed his head on the at- torney’s shoulder and “wept for joy.” After he had made his exit, the at- torney discovered that it wasn’t just joy that he wept for. The released prisoner had played a double role. —His Own and the Lawyer's— JURYMEN DISAGREE ON FATE OF BURKETT BOY (By United Press) Judge Pentecost -dismissed the jury hearing the case of Cecil Burkett, 11, charged with the murder of a play- mate. The foreman of the jury said an agreement was impossible. The jury was out 19 ‘hours) and argued all night over Cecil's fate. “Ma” Burkett, the boy’s.mother, surround- ed by Cecil and others of her brood of seven children, broke down and wept for the first time since the trial opened. Cecil displayed no concern over the fact that the jury failed to acquit. (By United Press) : Knox, Ind.,, June 3.---Twelve se- wious farmers after battling all night dn a little rocm above the court- house failed to agree whether Cecil Burkett, 11, is a murderer. The red- eyed, bedraggled jurymen, who tried: to decide the fate of Cecil all night instead of :¥eeping, reported to Judge Pentecost at the opening of the court today that they had failed to agree. The_judge sent them out for further deliberations Ceqll is charged with the murder of Benny Slavan, a seven-year-old playmate. The voices of the jurymen could be heard from the little alcove above the county court house all night as they pleaded, .argued and Dbecame angry with one another. They had their own convictions as to'the fate of the boy and stuck to them. W E MARKETS § HIDES Cow hides, No. 1 Bull hides, No. 1 . Kipp hides, No. 1, 1b.. .6e-Tc Calf skins, No, 1, 1b... .
