TOWN TALK BY
THE TOWN CM
-UVll Ia, l...w U that iky Iw.i

remark! Tom as lie Uowed in U. t
Mond.tjr moruing, having the enr
anceot the breaking P !
winter.
Nothing doing lr, Tom. Have
got an eirt linotype ort.'r from
8lin at work on it am! think- lie
will l able to get eomnthing out of it
in time," e replied.
"That Using the ue you want inr
to unload my budget of thing that
bar happened hereabouts?"
Well Dad, do you know that I had
spauk ugood time with Zed Rosen.
jorl and the 'Hunch of Merry Makers'
that he chaperoned to Newport hut
Baturdayjfor a Sunday anting. Dy the
way, Zed ia something of a sport him
eli when he geU away from his bunch
of. rat,1'
" WJiaU that you're given ue elut
eUT"
Well, wouldn't that kill you, Didn't
you know that Zed wan engaged in the
buaineaa of raising cat. You see it ia
thie way, Zed ia the proud owner of a
cat ranch and a rat ranch. He raises
rata for the caU to eat and raise cats
for their fun waich he dispose of to
Tort land furrier, who makes them
into mnffs, boas, etc for the ladiea."
"I want to tell yeu that there was
greatf loinga amongst the ''bunch hint
Friday afternoon and Psturuay morn
ing.
"Hows that!" we aaked.
' "Some of the married members of
the crowd did considerable schem
ing to niakea getaway. Early Satur
day morning Bill Bice rushed down
home with a fake telegram from hi
friend Klue annoucing the drowning
a lobster in the surf at Newport that
morning and wanted him to be sure
to take the first train for New port and
take charge of the remains. All he
had to do wan to show it to Lis wife,
pack his suit case and he was gone.
"Al. Whitney was'nt so lucky. He
had played that old 'I got to read the
meet-her-dodge' so much that it didn't
go at home any more. The long dis
tance telephone gag faild to jar him
loose, and just how he did get awiiy ha
not been made public. But then, when
it is known that his wife and sister
. left on a three-week,s jaunt onhis re
I turn, you can surmise the rrst. Ed.
Owens, lie was more lucky than the
other fellows."
"How is that?" we asked.
"You see hops are going up fast and
he stalled his wife on the pretext that
he was called to Portland on a hop
deal whereby he was going to hand
one of those hop buyers a bunch of
the finest hops that you ever saw, pro
vided that he had the price."
"Asa Taylor, Grover Slattison, Moss
Walker, Worse Fowle and F. Fessen
den, being young men they did not
have anything to bother them Hold
on, I believe that they did have to
square themselves in certain well
never mind about that, they went and
had a time. By the way, do you know
Brother Waldruff. He was a drop in.
Ed Owens tried to cop off his satch-.
el and when he was called down Zed
just sort of adopted him and took him
into the bunch inasmuch as he had
never seen the ocean and was perfectly
innocent about the ways at a summer
resort in Oregon."
"Well, was there anybody's feelings
hurt on the tripi"
"Plato may have been a genius and
all that, but the brand of love that he
invented remains a joke when com
pared with that peddled out by the
bunch on this trip."
"The seashore summer girl who had
not made her engagement bay when
the bunch arrived was hot on the
track of the party and several of them
hare already returned to town. (N. B.
There is more hay being gathered
in town this summer.")
"How is that?"
"Well, you see everyone of the
bunch tried to get the most showy
bathing suit procurable on the beach, 1
and the turnout you seen would have
ehot you all to pieces. One of the
bunch turned up with a pair of his
wife's hose which he filled with sand
bo that he woufd have . the proper
shape to his limbs. Zed was so mod
est that he appeared in a bathing suit
that is kept for the use of old maidens
that have passed the age of 50, and
the skiris dragged in the sand. Moss
Walker took the prize when it came
uoshape. He didn't have to use any
padding whatever.
While Asa Taylor and Al Whitney
did not have to resort to any artifi-
cial me.ins to Attract attention, t'l
f.iled to create anything of a srna
lion.
1 hitcutml on of the bunch, how-,.vi-r,
Kd. Owens, and ha had not
ie i on the l-each a half an hour be-Ion-
everyone tu net and they novel
l.x.k thi ir eyes on of him during hu
lay. You mumit't think it was on
ttrroimt of hi gol louka. Oh, no."
"Will what was it for then," we
ikl.
'They took him to te a confident
man."
"laying all joking eide, you novel
traveled with a liner tuntli tiiait that
narty that left hem Ut Saturday to
H-nd (Sunday at Newport, and wheu
you My that all of them got home
rijiht id up with cart, you have told
the tory."
"IV) you know that it it had to get
date miied."
' It m ow ing to what you refer to."
"I mean the Slimmer girl who
.tayed home and had a fellow for very
night In the weok and aome nights
two. One of her admirer got in on
the wronjz date recently and there
came near being something doing.
Enough said."
'Diil villi hear alont the widow
- ' r .
in town who clafma that she baa not
been k:aed f rix year?"
"Impossible."
"Well I have got her word for it.
She said ao in public the other night
at the show in the black tent where
they do a sketch in which a kissing
act was being demonstrated. It was
oneof tmasiokly stage kisei-s, and
when the star was repeating the dose
she exclaimed: 'Ain't that just too
lovely. 1 tell you 1 have been a wid
ow for six years and I haven't been
kissed yet.' Just alxuit this time an
old gray headed man who waa sitting
j.ist in .'rout of her turned and ask.-d
where she lived, and you ought to have
seen that w idow blush, becauso she
was talking to a woman and she did
not think anyone would hear her."
"Whack, la ig, bang, bang." came
from the back room just at this point
in the conversation. .
"What was that?" inquired Tom as
he commenced to make his get away.
"Oh. that's nothing buv that iiesky
linotype that has started bucking
again, which means that in order
to get a paper out it will be necessary
to rustle around for a couple of old
time printers who you can always re
ly on provided they haven't had a pay
day recently, so good-bye, Tom, 1
will see you later."
Meditations of the Cat.
A man never discovers the value of
money until he has required it.
Marriage without love is just lemon
ade without sugar.
If yoa are "at home" to "the blues"
they are sure to call.
Something is wrong all the time
with some people because they make
it so. :
There is no vice except drunken
that can so utterly destroy tin
pace and happiness of one another
as fretting.
Learn to take things as they come
if they don't come don't take them
Look at the bright side of things
if there is no bright side brush up one
of the dark sides.
If vou'don't like the sayings of the
cat you don't have to read them
you do come in and subscribe.
If
Tom drin 't climb a tree to talk. He
don.t bust his crupper holding back
to first see what somebody else is go
ing to say.
Everybody in Independence ought
to take the Enterprise and see what
Tom has got to say.
Al. Whitney's most trysting place.
Meet her in the cellar.
The moon is the only lighting mo
opoly that never made money.
A mouse ia the frequent cause of a
rise in skirts.
Heaven must be something like a
summer resort as far as the absence of
men is concerned.
Horseless carriages, tireless cookers,
and iceless refrigerators have proven
such a success that it remains only tor
some genius to invent a "husbandless
marriage" in order to make modern
life perfectly happy.
