LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Last nite after suppir ma started to tern on the radio, saying to pop, Wat time is it, Willyum, the Royal Saxa- fonists are due at 8 o clock, would you like to hear them? Or would you pre- fer the Darktown Quartette, their on tonite too, she sed. They play for the Demountable Rim Company, station XYL, she sed. Put on whatever you like, I eata any- sed. | thing, pop sed. Then I think Il put on the Ritzy Ritzzers, they play the nicest music and the leader sings splos in the loveliest voice, or perhaps its not the leader, ma sed. Perhaps its only the man that terns the pages, pop sed, and ma sed, Im go- ing to tune in on them anyway. Wich she did, and pritty soon I re- membered about Uncle Jake, saying. O, G, this is the nite Unkle Jake is on, aw heck I bet he's on already, G wiz- zickers ma tune in on Urftle Jake, will you, ma, wont you, ma, hay ma. O yes, yes, anything would be better than that hullyballo, ma sed. Meening me, and she tuned in on Unkle Jake, and just then my sister Gladdis and Harvey came in, Gladdis saying, Greet- ings everyybody, wat time is it, I hope Im in time to hear the Menthol Enter- tainers pldy the Porcupine Drag. I met the composer of the piece and he told me the Entertainers are playing it to- nite. And she quick terned off Unkle Jake and put on the Menthol Entertainers, pop saying, Yee gods I sed I eat any- thing, but I didnt say I eat everything. Whose tawking about. eating? Glad- dis sed, and Harvey sed, Excuse me if I tern off your station darling but sta- tion ZKX is giving stock reports now “CAP” STUBBS. Abe Martin Says: ' THE CHEERFUL CHERVR I hain't seen a fat horse since th’ breweries closed. (Copyright, 1928.) and I want to hear wats happening to Canadian Bacon. And he terned off the Menthol En- tertainers and put on some man tawk- ing, pop saying, I feel an attack of static indigestions coming on, I need exercise, if my unconshiss body is found it will be around at the bowling alley. And he put on his hat and overcoat and went out. —BY EDWINA Gran’ma’s Having a Wonderful Time. YOU BOYS HAVE SBEEN cc;as,‘.‘.
