Romantic Episode
She was a girl of Salem,
He was a boy of Linn,
And love notes oft mailed 'em,
Each day one out, one in.
And when they were together.
As sometimes chanced to be,
The love they breathed between
:: 'em J ; - ..- :i '
Was what's termed ecstasy.
They though! so. and it looked so,
But 'twasn't so not quite.
For on some simple matter
They disagreed one night, i
: J ! ! ' :
And he was big and forceful,
While she was small and meek.
So by the rules of cavemen,
He roughly slapped her cheek.
The system works for Gable,
If pictures tell the truth,
But this time 'twas disastrous
To the big and forceful youth.
of
His face next day bore scratches,
A limp was in his gait,
Plainly an ear showed marks
teeth,'
An lumps adorned his pate.
- r
Find the moral for yourself,
If you for morals care; ;
It may be difficult to find.
But I'm quite sure 'tis there.
I saw en: the street today a
gentleman whose shirt-tail was
half out behind. This man is, I
think, a later edition of a boy
whose shirt-tail crept furtively out
behind him at times and caused
laughter amongst his little school
mates. A good, kid, he was. I
recall that boys whose shirt-tails
were frequently out almost invar
iably possessed pleasingly care
less and democratic natures.
I have chanced recently to
glance through a small book, the
title of which is "Muscular Devel
opment; How Attained". Among
the exercises listed in the book,
operating a typewriter with one
finger seems to have been omitted.
When a person is in the mood
for marveling, and most of us
are subject to such moods, he may
well marvel at the frequency with
which the safety-razor blade reg
isters in ell departments of our
national life. More particularly
the used blade, the number of
which " probably runs into i mil
lions annually. I would not care
to guess the number of millions.
Tastes in statistical millions vary
greatly. In a matter of this kind,
each may determine a figure that
appeals to hkn, and let it go at
that without danger of stirring up
disagreeable . controversy, i Per
sonally,. I have a preference for
totals of medium magnitude. Oth
ers go in for the tremendous.
Still other sniff scornfully at any
thing which totals beyond human
comprehension, and like best
something in the hundreds. ,
Somewhat oddly, the mention of
safety-razor blades reminds me of
a day on Olinger .field,, when the
tents of -the - Ringling Brothers
Barnum & Bailey circus were
spread there. I was at the time
owner of a Boston terrier named
"Babe". Before going out to the
show lot that afternoon I had put
"Babe" Into the ; woodshed and
closed the door, but she had em
erged through a hole at the other
end of the wodshed. She had
kept out of sight until the Four
teenth street bridge was reached,
and then, mighty proud of her
self and jumping about frantically
to evidence her joy in being re
united with an old friend after
a painful separation of 10 min
utes, she put In an appearance. 7 1
had serious doubts as to whether
she and the menagerie would get
along together. I decided to
make Bare before going In. So
we went to one side of the men
agerie top and waited. It would
not be long, I was quite certain,
before one or more of the cats
would roar. Presently the roar
came. "Babe" at once emitted a
series of growls and barks and
made a fuss generally. So I de
cided to wait for the night per
formance. We strolled over back
of the dressing tent and for an
hour watched a troupe of acro
bats . rehearsing what I Inferred
to be new stunts. And then, the
acrobats having gone Inside, we
were on the point of leaving when
the side curtain of the annex was
raised and a woman appeared. I
recognized her as the lady who
had handled the monster serpents
In the ballyhoo which preceded
the opening of the big show. She
was evidently out for a bit of
sunshine, a brief change of air and
perhaps a few moments of exer
cise. She came towards us, and
"Babe" went forward to meet
hem. Somewhat to my aston
ishment, the serpent lady took
the dog in her arms and talked
to her. Nobody had ever done
this before, although a number
had attempted it." And- that to
make a 30-minute story last but
a minute or two, was how it came
about that the serpent lady and I
sat on the tongue of a canvas
wagon in the sunshine and
talked. She did most of the talk
ing, and the subject for a time
was largely dogs. Presently,
however, the subject of snakes
was brought up. and I asked her
a question bearing upon the dan
ger of handling reptiles. She re
plied, laughing a little, that there
was almost no danger in handling
the snakes with which she per.
formed. She used two pythons in
her act, she said, both of which
were given treatment to render
them harmless before they were
exhibited. As to the handling of
poisonous snakes, she said she
presumed there was no rule other
than would apply in a general
way to the handling of safety
razor blades. If you have a box
ful of old safety-razor blades you
don't reach in carelessly and take
un a handful. Then she sold me,
for 10 cents, a . photograph of her-

. Also somewhat oddly, the men
tion of lafety-rator blades re
minds me ot Shakespeare. Re
member what old King Lear said
about the thankless child that was
sharper than - a safety - razor
blade? Yeah, I know he said "a
serpent's tooth," bat he didn't
know anything about safety-razor
blades, and a serpent's tooth can
not be any sharper than a safety
razor blade, and, anyway, what's
the difference?-' Every year the
Shakespeare plays move in a bit
more on the moving pictures. We
now . hav "Romeo and Juliet"
coming, with Shearer and Howard
as the 1 leads, and too' we have
Elizabeth Bergner , in "As Ton
Like itl" already booked for pro
duction in October at the State
theatre. I have read no reviews
of the "As You Like It" picture,
but I have seen Bergner and I
have a smattering acquaintance
with the play. It appears to be
a combination which should be
delightfully entertaining. . I un
derstand that the picture will be
shown only twice each day, and
at prices somewhat higher than
customary, daring the Saleih engagement.

is given hilarious support by Irv
Cobb and Slim Summerville,
' Why Mother Nature? Why not
Father Nature? Not much -use in
asking-such questions. We've be
come so accustomed to addressing
Nature as mother, and to not ad
dressing Nature as father that
nothing can change it. Only those
features in Nature that are all
wet are addressed as father, like
the oceans and the rivers. Father
Ocean and the Father! of Waters,
as terms, meet with general ap
proval, especially during a
drouth. Mother Nature does not
do so well when the, wet mem
ber fail to do their part.
