+ LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Ma was looking at the funny page without laffing and pop was smoking and thinking, saying, O well I dont know, werse things could happen, 1 sippose. mWerse than wat, wats a matter? ma sed, and pop sed, I was thinking of Gladdis marrying that duck. Meaning Mr. Parkins, and ma sed, Duck, why duck? Well, in we_classic speech of the moderns, he's all wet, and so's a duck, pop sed, and ma sed, He's as dry as any other young man and he's perfecly re- Spectable in every ‘way shape and form and his parents are nice peeple and even if they werent they dont live in this city, and I defy you to name one single thing oentnrf to his favor. Well look at his clothes, pop sed. If some of his neckties could tawk they'd bring the roof down with their racket, he sed. O my-that reminds me, ma sed. Wen you ferst came to see me my whole family,used to tawk about your neck- ties and not in terms of unadulterated praise either. Do you remember that red and yellow one that I made you g0 into a haberdashers store and change before Id wawk another step with you? she sed. T do not, pop sed. My ties may of been a trifle unusual but they were al- ways in perfeck taist, he said. But my main objection to Parkins is, he hardly makes enuff money to support himself, much less a naturel born expense like Gladdis, he sed. O indeed, and just wat was the finan- cial figure of your salary wen we got married if you dont mind? ma sed, and Kop sed, That was diffrent, I was a ussler. Thats just wat Harvey Parkins says about himself, so its just another case “CAP” STUBS. Abe Martin Says: In some parts o' the Orient th’ bride’s father receives cattle, some daughters fetchin’ as high as nine cows, but here at home th’ bride’s father usually gits his daughter back. (Copyright, 1928.) — e of history repeeting itself and calling the kettle black, ma sed, and pop sed, Not at all, and ma sed, Absilutely, and pop sed, Well, any good lawyer could pick a hunderd flaws in your case, but Im not a good lawyer so excuse me wile I retire a wile. ‘Wich he did behind the sporting page. —By EDWINA Hurrah Fer Halloween—and Teacher.
