Show WHO'S WHO? ? , " 1 I y I 7 - - - -. 0 Ooooh, what nice little fat bro-j bro-j ther is this, with his serious, bash- ful sister. And it is little brother you must concentrate on, for sister sis-ter doesn't live here any more, she is in Salt Lake City. But brother, the little pudding, does, and is very much in the public eye. Did you guess who was who last , week? That was Clyde Underhill, I genial butcher at the Quality mar- j ket, former North Tract farmer, and present City Council member. He j never dreamed that picture, taken , T when he,was a boy in Nebraska,: ! would turn up where it did. He ' was just ready to bet dollars to doughnuts he'd never be caught in Who's Who, when he picked up the paper and saw he was in. So he raked up his dollars, and some Jll) of the doughnuts, and spent the rest of the day hiding in the ice box. But back to that plump little boy, shown above. Doesn't he look rt pleased? And who wouldn't, all r dressed up like that, with a ruffled shirt, and polka dots, too. But that was not the true state of affairs. It was indignation, not blown up with pride, the reason he filled out his clothes so well. Why, it is a matter of record that one time he absolutely would not pose for his picture unless his father let him hold his watch. So there he was, dangling and bouncing the watch, with his father in nervous conniptions. con-niptions. When this young man was born was quite a while ago, long enough for him to. now have some gray hairs, and acquire a family, and lots of authority. Where he was born was quite a journey distant from here, when made by horseback, horse-back, team and wagon, or buggy. It still is a long trip, for you have to travel roundabout to get there. After travellling rounabout, this per son arrived in Delta, to remain. And when this little boy was born, the Indians thereabouts were deeply interested, and creaked a bout thinking of a name for him. They thought a good Indian name would be just the ticket. Imagine if he had been called Avimpah,' meaning roiled water. He would probably have been called "Vimp" for short. Instead his father and mother chose a name for him of one syllable, so it never gets shortened. short-ened. That is too many clues for today. If you haven't guessed this person by now, the answer will be here next week. |
