CHAFF FROM THE STRAW STACK
By The Wind Stacker - . 4
It is better to live in the foggy presr
ent than the misty past.
A summer girl's idea of economy is
to make one hammock do for two.
There is no place like home.' That
is probably why so many men spend
their evenings up town.
The hateful woman, if she can say
nothing else mean against , ySu, . will
add ten years more to your age.
If there is anything more disgusting
on the face of the earth than a hype-1
crit, we would like to know what it is.
. An exchange says: "There are lots
of hard money men in that town just
now men who arejiard to get money
from.
A California woman whose husband
eloped with the cook, says everything
will be forgiven if. he will only bring
back the cook, . . .. 1

one". If you can't read a joke from,

A Heppner lady rubbed limburger

RESIDENCE
Eastern professor says the
people of this country are working
themselves to death. Has he ever
looked around when a circus parade
took place.
Girls seldom marry the young man
who give, them presents and feed them
on ice cream, for the good reason that
when the girls are ready to marry, the
young men are broke.
A bachelor upon reading that two
lovers will sit up all evening with only
one chair in the room, said it could
not be done unless one of them sat on
the floor. Such ignorance is painful.
An Eastern exchange says; A wom
an boarded one of the smoking cars,
paid her fare and then deliberately
lighted a cigar and began smoking. A
passenger objctecj and the conductor
insisted that she mast either stop
smoking or leave the car. The next
day superintendent of the road reprov
ed the conducted and issued a general
order, that woman iave exactly the
same rights as men in this matter, no
more ncr less, and that it was their
privelege to smoke in the smoking cars
without being molested, which ' seems
to be good sound judgment. , . ...
