Apt Punning
To please his father, orator Wen-
dell Phillips attended Harvard law
school. After receiving his degree,
he hung out his shingle, but no \
j, clients were attracted. Several!
jj months passed and still his office;
j j was empty. In disgust. Phillips do-1
'] elded to quit and enter a more lu- I
crative profession.
".Don't b e ridiculous,'
advised
1 a friend, ' Stick to it and you'll'
get ahead. Y.ui were bred to the '

John Clerk, one of the most pug-
nacious of lawyers, once h^d a
brush with the House of Lords. It
seems that he preserved the old
fashioned "enow," whereas his
younger brethren said "enough"
(enuff). Retaining' this old usage
while presenting his argument, he
was interrupted by the Lord Chan-
cellor saying, "Mr. Clerk. In Eng-
land we sound the 'ough' as 'uff.'
1,'nuff not 'enow.' "
"Very well, my Lord." continued
the very self-possessed advocate,
"of this we have had cnuff; and I
now proceed to the subdivision of
the land in dispute. It was appor-
tioned into what in England would
j be pluffland. a ^u'fland being as '
I much land as a pluffman can pluff
; in & day."
: The Lord Chancellor could not
: withstand the apt riposte and burst
| into laughter, saying, "Proceed, Mr.
Clerk, I know enow of Scotch to un-
derstand your argument."

On tree.'-, on falls, on

i the exact center. He asked
•t the one r« sponsible for
thss crcat marksmanship.
Tne man turned out to be the
town idiot.
"This is the most wonderful
marksmanship ! have ever seen,"
he exclaimed. "II >w in the world
do you do it?"
"Easy," replied the simpleton.
"1 shoot first and draw the circles
afterward."
A Slimmer In
Old Mexico
"A friend of mine Miss Lee
Hall and I graduating from
Texas Tech lust May decided to
go with a summer school group!
to Guadalajara Mexico to write
our Master's theses. We left the
States the middle of last July
and worked with the summer
school until the end of August.
When the summer school group
left we began teaching in the
American school and continued j
our research work in 'he libra).'-j
ies,
"At length we gave up these ;
for lack of materials but con-
tinued touching m the American
school. We lived with a Mexi-j
can family just a block from j
the school we found classes in :
Mexico extremely different from
anything we had i vcr experien-
ced in the States but we enjoyed
them thoroughly and learned to
love our students dearly. We
enjoyed the many holidays be-
e-use of all the exciting festivi-
ties planned. Mexico is truly the
school boys paradise for it is
ih - land of many saints and each
day one of them has a birthday j
the schools all close and we help
him celebrate it.
We found the climate wonder- j
ful and the countiyside lovely
and the people warm and fn-
endly; the experience was one
we shall not soon forget."
— The above was written by
a former Aspermont girl May
Davis, whose parents Mr and
Mrs Wade Davis now live in
Hamlin. j
vity in the fields as the fanners
are preparing lor another crop.
Time has changed things only
a little from the time the old
colored man made the remark
about his mule and his work.
Only now it mosly applies to
the tractor. The farmer works
the field with he tractor all the
year around to make enough to
buy gas for his tractor so he can
work his field all year-
Or as the old talian put it: I
digga the ditch to getta the mon
to buya he food to getta the
srength to digga the ditch.
The floor of the new Baptist
Church building has been fin-
ished for some time now. The
blocks have been delivered and
are awaiting to be put up. It is
