SAVINGS BANK OF KEWANEE Kewanee, Illinois "Vacation is a lazy thing."--Edison. Vacation is a laxy thing, there's naught to do but row the boat and climb the tree to fix'the swing and scale the mountain like a goat and catch the fish and cook the same and forage fuel to feed the flame, and work all morn to mend the tire and toil and tug like any team to haul the flivver from the mire and trudge six miles for gasoline and brace the tent against the gale and fight with skeeters tooth and nail and swim a league into the bay and strenuous rounds of golf to play and help put in ten tons of hay and dance until the break of day. Tom Edison is right by jing! Vacation IS a laxy thing. I waited for a good long while but fin'ly brought that thief to trial, his lawyer wanted me to wait but I feared that he'd skip the state. I swore the jury in an then the feller that had lost the hen, he testified to his belief that that there feller was a thief. Hie lawyer asked him how he knew; he said, "because that feller's shoe print fitted the tracks I found just by my henhouse in the ground. Besides, I saw him with a sack plumb full of chickens on his back, followed him and saw him sell them chickens to the town hotel; that's how I know he stole my hen, you ought to send him to the pen." "All right," I says. "Well now commence to hear the case for the defense." That lawyer said, "Let me explain. This here poor feller is insane, he doesn't know what's right or wrong or where the chickens should belong. He ain't just right inside his head, you ought to pity him instead of sending him to the pen, I'm sure that he won't steal again, at least I'll guarantee to see he lets the jury members be." I told the jury, when he quit that they should make good work of it and writ® me out, in full detail, how long to keep that guy in jail! An American editor had a notice stuck\ above his desk that read: "Accuracy! Accuracy! Accuracy!" and this notice he always pointed out to new reporters. One day the youngest member of the staff came in with his report of a public meeting. The editor read it through, and came to the sentence: "Three thousand nine hundred and ninety nine eyes were fixed upon the speaker.' "What do you mean by making a silly blunder like that? He demanded wrathfully. "But it's not a blunder," protested the youngster. "There was'» oneeyed man in the audience!* 0. W. KLONTZ, M. D.

SCHABFKR Draying McHENRY, ILLINOIS The young folks are too-trp-te^late they go to dances and stay late a- Charlestoning around the hall. I don't call that a dance at all. They trip and stumble all around, there ain't no music to the sound of saxophone that screams and groans and puts the shivers in your bones. The old days were the best, by jing, the music of the fiddle string by some old fiddler with his toe a-keeping time, would make you go, salute your partner with a thrill and guide her through the old quadrille. "The Irish Washerwoman" is a tune to make you go, gee whiz, and as for "Turkey in the Straw," it puts life In Paw and Ma. The caller shouts with all his might to alamande to left or right "Salute your partner," he calls out and so we swing the girls about. "Ladies pass out and gents pass in, grab your girl and swing agin." I'd give a lot to see, by jing, Bill Johnson dance the buck and wing, them days when we had the fun in our old barn when chores was done. When the old fiddle was in tune the time to quit came all too soon. I s'pose I should not make complaint because this jazz and Charleston ain't got any kick for folks like me, but them old dances that, by gee, we used, to have in days of yore sure, made me step around the floor!

A Scot who worked in a large business house applied to the manager for a raise, stating that he was thinking of getting married. At the end of the week he found a fairly substantial raise in his pay envelope. Sometime later, he met the manager on the stairs. "I suppose you've quite settled down to married life?" said the manager. "I'm no married," replied the Scot. "Not married!" said the manager, you said you were thinking of marrying." "Oh, aye," came the reply, "But I've stopped thinking." RINOWOOD Twice Told Tales July, 1877 Wanted, a boy from 16 to 20 years of age to learn the art of printing.
