Say, if you don't think this town is in need of something of a building boom, just take a look-see around some time and youll find occupied houses around town that some people tried to tell us, when we came here 30 months ago, would never again be rented. And that removal of weeds on the vacant lots around town is just quite a lot of a good thing Even if it does show up the new stream-line fence of 'our friend, "Micky" Ferguson! The fact that the "streamline" "stream-line" does have , a bit of a bend in it is due, "Micky" eays to the fact I hat he put it up when the wind wasblow- r"- ing And must have counted on the wind continuing to blow! But, anyone with the grand voice that "Micky" has and the happy heart that mBkes it available avail-able to comfort sad hearts on so oft the occasion can be forgiven anything. We have read of hankie showers and of kitchen showers, of lingerie showers and of stork showers But the "bridle" shower we read of in one of our exchange papers has got us guessing hard. From the other details of the item we surmise that it concerns a nuptial event about to occur. But what we should like to have cleared up is who the bridles are for. No doubt most of the young women guests, standing staunchly staunch-ly by their sex, would insist that it is the "he" who should fall heir to it or them; while there may be one or two snippy young things who, down in their deepest hearts, would bridle the bride-to-be! And would the bridles go into the hope chet or the war chest? And wasn't it swell that they made it bridles instead of muzziest Which renjinds us that we have no inclination whatever to apply either bridle or muzzle to Mrs. Ruminator At least while she confines herself to singing the praises of The Challenger and the un-dreanVcd un-dreanVcd of train service of this Union Pacific innovation that has literally paralyzed competing traffic lines! The bus line offered the better connection for the trip upstate a couple of weeks ago and thus the missus, on her return on No. 7, was afforded a splendid opportunity opportun-ity to judge The Challenger and its superb new service by comparison. com-parison. And such comparison! The thing that's bothering us, though, is how we're gong to have her feel satisfied ever when she has to r-de anv distance in the Cmash! First, we suppose, she'll want a dainty white pillow to rest comfortably com-fortably while she adorns the family chariot; next, she'll want a spanking new drinking cup fur-ished fur-ished every time she's thirsty all free of charge as when she "rode The Challenger!" And when it comes to getting for 30c all the delicious creamed chicken on toast that you can eat, can you imagine doing as well at any highway eating place, much less on the dining car of the old regime, Well, she did! |
