daily statistic, it is only the part of prudence to
transfer your risk to the insurance company—while
fortune still smiles. Better check your coverage to-

The kindergarten class had just
learned a Christmas carol, “The An-
gels Came to Bethlehem.” They were
encouraged to answer the question,
“Who else came to Bethlehem?”
And there were many answers such
as the shepherds came . . . the three
kings came . . . Mary and Joseph
came . . . the donkey came.
The answers lagged until a little
girl waved her hand, and when call-
.ed upon, she answered, “The stork
came.”
And then there’s the little porcu-
pine who bumped into the cactus
plant in the dark and asked: “Is that
you, mother?”

len out. The quarrel lasted through

make peace, the husband went to the

'“What’s for breakfast, dear?”
“Rats!” came back the reply.
“All right, honey,” replied hubby.
“Cook one for yourself, but fry me an

other side.”
A man tells of a Brooklyn corporal
in the American Army of Occupation
who learned he was going to be ship-
ped back to America, and cried in
panic, “I’ve got to kill me a Jap be-
fore I go home, or I’ll never be able
to look my Flatbush pals in the face
again.” “Pipe down on that nonsense,”
advised his buddy. “The war’s over.
You’ll find yourself in the guard
house if you don’t look out.”
The corporal was not to be dissuad-
ed. He brandished a slightly rusted
bayonet and charged out of the bar-
racks. Shortly thereafter his buddy
heard a great commotion down the
street. He found a Japanese, quite
dead, in the roadway, and the cor-
poral, seriously wounded, groaning
nearby.
“Now you’ve done it,” mourned the

A citizen of a Texas town commit-
ted suicide years ago. His reasons for
doing so were found written on a
scrap of paper in his left boot leg:
“I married a widow with a grownr
up daughter. My father visited us
frequently, fell in love with my step-
daughter and married. And so my
father became my son-in-law and my
stepdaughter became my mother.
Some time later a son was born to
me, who thus became my father’s
brother-in-law and my own uncle on
account of being a brother to my
step-daughter.
“My step-daughter also gave birth
to a son, who was certainly my bro-
ther and at the same time my grand-
son. Through all this my own wife
was my grandmother. I was at the
same time my wife’s husband and
grandchild.
“In consequence, the husband of
anyone’s grandmother must be his
grandfather. Thus I was my own
grandfather, which was more than
I could stand.”
J. D. McMillin and Mrs. R. E.
Pierce accompanied their guests, Mr.
and Mrs. Horace McMillin and

heart patient in a hospital there.

buddy. “Tell me what happened be-
fore the M. P.’s find you.”
“I saw the Jap,” explained the
corporal weakly, “and I says to my-
self, ‘There’s your man.’ So I goes up
to him and cries, ‘Tojo is a lowdown
rat.’ He answers, ‘Your commanding
general is ten times worse.’ Then, just
as we were shaking hands, a jeep
musta hit us.”
