In K j spite of my loud groans, nobody Youngman 's Co lumn Editors Note-for the benefît of the many readers of Ed. Young- man's column who have asked us to publisb a photo of the versatile writer of this popular weekly feature we'are pleased to comply. As you can imagine Ed. is a very shy and modest man who avoids publicity with ail its hazards. However, our officiai photogra- pher finally coralled hlm in a moment of weakness or embar- rassment, as Ed. was just going into Cole's barber shop last Sat- urday afternoon to get his spring hair-cut after hibernatlng in the pine ridges of Pontypool the past winter. Our photographer con- sidered bimself very fortunate in catching Ed. before he had bis locks shorn as he recalled a strict rule that the famous internation- al photographer Karsh of Otta- wa strictly observes, not to take a photo immediately after a man has a baircut. So, dear in- dulgent readers, we have pleas- ure in introducing, by remote control, our own inimicable Ed. Youngman.-G. W. J. Ed Youngman Most of those people noticing my xife sporting a black eye and bunged up armn probably blame me. One lady, writing from Les- kard, hoped for a speedy recov- eny, but expressed surprise that I was so brutal. The trutb is, we have the meanest set of cellar steps ever dcvised by man. It's a cinch, the gink who invented tbem neyer intended to use tbem. Wben the Missus fell fnom near tbe top, to the cement cellar floor, she broke ber specs, black- ened an eye, damaged ber fore- anm. besides deveioping bruises and lacerations on other anatom- icai parts. Bob thougbt it wouid be nice to get in the act so, dropped a steel road drag on a foot, with quite painful resuits. Not to be outdone by the oth- strange reason, evenybody wisb- ed the Missus a speedy recovery, but ignored me and my woes. Those cellar steps are about as tricky as a well known horse trader who used to roamn this district, particularly at meaitime. He would offen a long and ferv- ent grace before eating, and pray long and loudly at the conclusion of the meal. Then the old hypo- crite would accompany bis bost to the barn, wbere be would pro- ceed to skin the bide off said bost in a horse deal. But. be went to cburch on Sunday, so they said that he was an bonest man. lie and I had several horse deals. The ones I remember witb rel- ish was the time I dealt hlm a chunky two-year-old colt, par- tially .broken to single dniving, for whicb be gave me a 20-year- old bob-tailed gelding, a ten dol- lar bill and a cow. The cow w'as supposed to bave one poor teat, but wben she fneshened. she turned out to be a two "titter." We traded the cow to anotben fol- low for tbree defonmed runts of pigs, a $25 order on a neighbor, and a balky, 17-year-old sway- back. Another cbap offered me a nice two-year-old Clydesdale colt for the baiky i7-year-old, but there xvas one catch, he wanted to see the horse draw. In order that he wouldn't get wise, two feiloxvs eacb picked up a couple of frozen spuds. tben when I velled "get up", the boys pelted oid Tim in the ribs (on the fan side) witb the frozen murpbies, whicb 50 startled the old sinner he forgot to balk. So we tnaded! Another deal that I bad witb paigAndy" was the tine he bucks for the meanest. baîkiest, most orneny mare I ever owned. Six weeks laten, Nellie was back in oun barn at a cost of $42. Even by today's standards fifty-cigbt bananas isn't a bad profit. Like I xvas saying at the stant. if a gux- appears ultra religious. don't trust bim in a borse trade. Did you ex-en notice the expres- sion on a guest's face wlien the food offered isnt vhat tbey cx- pecteci? Hecentlv an old ,w'ar buddyý and bis wife dnopped in for a spot of toa. When we passed tbc lettuce the man said "no tbanks" in sucb a manner that be seemed to mean "no rabbit food for me." The lettuce didn't look too bot. it was quite rusty. Tbey seemed afraid of the salmon, wbich was the cheap stuff, it ap- peared as tbough it bad died ,wbile spawning. Tbey were pnobably pining for the roast at home. Some yeans ago Haydon was quite a village, with a grocery store, tailor sbop, blacksmith, large gnist mili, etc. Today it is but a ghost of its former self. But altbougb small, can still unden- take successfui social ex'ents. On April 23, tbe Haydon W. A. put on a good concert in the En- niskillen Hall.
