Show Wise and Oiiierwisc ' There Is nothing like teaching a fellow a good lesson at the right time. And one of those lessons were like this. A. very sweet, fascinating, ex-1 quiaitely beautiful little girl here had a sweeheart who also lived in this camp. But one Sunday months ago he very unwisely had another girl up here from way down in the valley and had a great time, and his girl here I very properly turned him down. Not I for a few days, but for a long, long I timetwo or three months she would hardly look at him letaylone give him ; a smile. v They have made up now and she -says she bets he will not only be good hereafter but that ,he will be very careful. The boys who have gone off to col-) lege this fall would be surprised to know how quickly the girls they left behind them fell in with other fellows. One fellow in particular here has taken tak-en an absentee's old time sweetheart. Another evidence of the truthfulness of the saying that absence makes the heart grow fondtr fonder for the other fellow. -.,- . ' The pugilistic argument of the heavyweights here early this week was Indecisive. At least no decision was rendered by the referee and the prevailing opinion is that neither of the aspirants has qualified himself to meet Jack Dempsey. A great number of people In the camp are sneezing and coughing and .running at the nose, but very few of them will confess the corn and say that they have the "flu." ' It's Just a cold! but at that, those who x have colds are scared to say the least and so are their friends. The warning, beware of the man who uneezes, is being observed. I it was pitiful it was, to say the least the fate 'that befell some Bingham Bing-ham boys who were In ILehl Sunday night. Yes, the boys were pinched, but what some people here would like to know was what the Bingham boys were doing in ILehl. Deputy Sheriff Ray Kenner was released re-leased from quarantine on Tuesday, where he l'ad been in solitary confinement con-finement for twenty-two days. And what do you think he said when he got up townT iHe said he did not think he would ever put anyone in jail again, having learned by actual experience what a punishment such confinement really is. Several of the boys In camp lost their heads over the pretty little girl from Springville who was in j town last week. She possesses every attribute of beauty and some of the I boys think she is far more alluring I than the most enticing f-chool girl i which has enrolled for this session. j There Is one fellow In town now who is holding down two Jobs. He 1 femylfll at ViH 6 A ft tmm fnmWi of night till eight in the morning and then 'works in Electric avenue from eight In the morning till twelve at night. The belligerent bull dog which has held sway at the corner for some time .and had acquired the habit of Chewing up all dogs that passed by got a double dou-ble dose of his own medicine Wednesday Wednes-day afternoon A stranger passed with a big lAlresdale and the bull dog bounced him. The battle was brief, bloody and deciwive, the bull being overwhelmingly defeated. The Aires-dale Aires-dale got a grip on the side of the bull's head including an ear and 'n'rly moppcl up the earth with him. When the owner of tho victor made him release his hold the bull beat a hasty retreat without waiting for the decision of the referee. Gas masks have made their appearance appear-ance in the camp. Quite a number of young ladies are wearing them to ward off the "flu." With the mask it Is difficult to recognize the maids. It is the style now and it is good taste. A pretty Bingham girl says it Is tough to have your soldier sweetheart come to ree you and then wink at the other girls as they go by. What Is a Kazoo? Ask four girls at the !B. II. 8. Did you ever see an Indian with a mustache t If not ybii failed to see the parade Saturday. They say that there is a young man in town who Just cannot make his arm behave when he goes up the street with a girl. The Junior Hoover bunch has moved mov-ed that every girl seen wearing silk Etocklngs to school regularly be branded as a slacker. iShould this motion mo-tion go through It will work a hardship hard-ship on girls who possess pretty ankles and also be disappointing to those who are fond of beautiful scenery. scen-ery. The glrli say that a well known dignified dig-nified gentleman of the camp has added add-ed a new coat of paint to his hair. All the school children and a large number of people of the camp Joined last Saturday in the Columbus Day celebration Music was furnished by H eld's Band and the parade was a success in every way. On account of tho Spanish influenza the big dance had to be called oft, but it was a great occasion anyway. Richard Shaw of Copperfield, aged f.0,;died last Saturday morning of pneumonia. He was employed by the Silver Shield Mine, lie was well known and had many friends in this camp. He is survived by a widow and six children, two of whom are mem-jbers mem-jbers of the United States "army. |
