Editorial
The entire editorial staff of The
Pill Box is very much pained that
its editorial on Limburger Cheese
last week raised such a stink. We
sincerely regret that the smell of
Limburger Cheese is such as to
make unwashed feet envious of their
reputation and to avoid further ob
jections we have requested manu
facturers to leave out the stink in
the future. In these temperance
times when the "kick" is being sub
tracted from everything, the re
moval of the stink from Limburger
Cheese will be another one of those
popular reforms which we first en
dure, then pity, then embrace.

Funniest Story In the World"
The Pill Box has received from a
loving" friend what he terms is the
"funniest story in the world." Com
ing so well recommended we let it
in, trusting that it will live up to
its reputation.
"An insurance auditor who is transferee!- every
two years to a new district, got married and was
stationed at Minneapolis and St. Paul, the Twin
Cities. While living there, his wife blessed him with
twins. He was next jent to Three Rivers, Michigan,
where hecame the father of triplets. Then his com
pany ordered him to the Thousand Inlands in the St
Lawerenc river and he threr up the job."
A Valuable Mule
A woman was kicked on the chin
by a mule, causing her to bite off
the end of her tongue, and her hus
band several times since refused an
offer of $1000 for the mule. Eu
gene Register.
Society Section
Twenty couples of the city's most
exclusive set informally walked in
to the home of Mr. and Mrs. J
Runabout Wadd Sunday night
without ringing. Mr. W add was
sponging his chillblains with vine
gar and lard and Mrs. Wadd trim
ming her corns with a safety razor
when the guests entered and it was
a complete surprise as intended to
be. Ping-pong and poker were
played until four o'clock when Mrs.
Wadd announced that those who
desired to eat could do so and all
present voted to eat. The first
course consisted of buckwheat cakes
and the second old style sorghum.
As a compliment to the hostess's
culinery art the guests repeatedly
encored the courses and at seven
o'clock Monday morning Mrs.
Wadd was obliged to announce that
the buckwheat was exhausted and
the guests sorrowfully wended their
way homeward planning another
surprise upon Mr. and Mrs. Wadd
in the very near future.
