Lou Starbuck's definition of love—'There's something in my heart that tastes sweet and bitter at the same time” 4 Starbuck, referring to an epiteph—Well, it's the truth, an’ thar ain't no ‘@rtickle much eca'cer than truth on graveyard rocks." Humorous story—Les Spencer: “Dhar’s on old feller up in our neighbo) hood that's got more than a hundred hounds. They call him hound-poré, ‘This old feller goes down to the store twice a week and gives a hound for a pint of Moker. One dny he brought down the biggest dog qou ever seed, and when the storekeeper gives him the licker he looked at the dog and cays: ‘What, don't'I git no change?’ And the storekeeper gives him back a rat ter- wler and @ bull pup," Humorous converfations—Judge: ‘When you go into the court-room do you think you cen understand the nature of an oath?’ Mose: “‘Ought--t-to, I've b-b-b-been o-c-cussed enough. sae "He don't cuss hisself, Jedge, a Be aay 298 come when he re It “What became of Tidy?” “Wall, er white lady come up heah an’ she had er silk siawl and da fooled ‘round da‘cuxed Tildy or stealin’ {t an’ sent her ter de penitenohy.” la kopt er pasterin’ ‘roun' ¢i] da proved it on her,’ end the wives will be impersonated by Mina Florence Montgomery“ and Miss Bilzabeth Barry.
