V ' " ' October 15, 1924. Dear Editor: - I , Everything is pretty much 0. K. out here, only we need rain. The farmers have bWn rolling along seeding, rain or no rain; Drake, Lovgren, Beck, Davidson, Scrivner. Stewart, all the big ranches. The old Idea schoolhouse has been torn down and a brand new one built. The old one was usr d to build a' stable for the pupils' saddle horses. We now have the nobbiest schoolhouse in Gilliam county. The builder was Mr. Joe Lenger of Condon. School started last Monday with Miss GlaJys M. Brown of Condon, as teacher. Miss Brown is a grad uate of the Oregon State Normal School at Monmouth. She makea her borne, with Mrs. Henry Stewart during the term. Look out young fellers or vou will get your hearts busted for she is some handsome lass! I A si'hoolma'm out here in the hills asked an old fellow if .he was a grammarian. "No ma'm," said be, "no ma'm, I am a Miss ouriart 1 was born id the grand old state of Missouri." The schoolma'm had a big laugh about it end so did ther old Miasoorian when he was alone. He was talking with the same lady a few days later and she asked Mm if he ever had themeasels. He said, "oh yes, frequently ma dame, quite frequently." (The old sonof a-gun). Some of these old foxy grandpas are a whole lot worse than they look, yes, a good deal worse than some of these people who talk about 'em. . ' Mr. Editor, I have often thought to ask you if you be lieve in phrenology. If not, I will hav to disagree with you and the disagreement will pain me very much. I think that every bump, hook and crook insa man 'a head'and face means something, if we know how to read tl em. Not only that but the walk, talk laugh indicate character. I have studied phrenology a little, but enough to convince me beyond the shadow of a doubt that it ".is straight goods. I was examined by a first elasa phrenologist sev eral years ago, and had my fortune told too by a long haired, be-whiskered individual who looked like he would be a first class hand to keep around to prevent moonshine from becom ing too aged, but lie might stagger onto the truth for all that Both of them handed me several bunches of beautiful flowers. The phrenologist told me that if I waa well educated I would be a writer and apeaker second to none, and that I 'was a natural trail blazer and leader of men. Well I have never led any men yet but I have blazed a few trails, and the education part, I know, is the one thing needful wit b me. I have grieved, fretted and lamented for years about being so poorly educated but after reading abont the thons asids of American soldiers in the World War who could neither read nor write, I feel pretty highly educated after all. The fortune teller told me that I would live to be 101 years old and would be married four times, but I could not get him to tell me" what (Jispdsftlon "I wouTd make of all those women. He said it was best not to know. I suppose I will talk the first two to death before I learn better, and the next on I imagine, I will feed so well on spuds and meal That she'll run away with , Pat O'Neal.
