STORY BY JOHNY.
il y., aug. 26. well, i seen
some funythings in a theayter,
but i never seen nothin no funnier
than the wrestling cheese
sometimes a ballplayer is a
cheese, and sometimes a prize
fiter is a cheese, and sbmetimes a
, wrestler is a cheese
but this aint that kind of a
cheese .
it looks like a 'sure enough
cheese, and not a very big one
neither,, but when it gets busy,
htilly gee
i went up to osker hamme'r
stine's theayter to see tflis here
cheese '
you can't beat osker for being
on. the job. he has.give, us mary
garden, $2 opry, the talking dog
and th wrestling cheese
wo ' next, goodness knows, but
whatever it is, osker will get it
now about the xheese. it is
about 18 inches tall and 4 inches
thick,and it is rotifld.on the edge
like a aiitomobeal tire, atid it has
a red cover onto it like a regular
cheese
about 7 or 8 yung fellers went
up onto the stage, and then they
brung out the cheese
a guy set it down oft the stage,
an'd you would think it would tip
over, being round on the edge,
but it didn't, it stood Up, and it
.went rollin around all by itself
' the yung fellers had long poles,
and they tried to knock it over,
and poke it over, and push it
over, but nothing doing
one of them pushed so hard he
busted his stick, and then they
&uit
then they took turns getting
down on the flore and wrestling
with it
sometimes they would get it
pretty near flat, then it would
take a spin and come up -quick
fy hit one feller in the mouth,
and he went off the stage holding
his face, and he never come back
"even when they tried to lay
down on it, they never could get
it down
then the feler.4b.at was show
ing it done an awful funny trick
with it'
he coaxed it into a bag, and. tied
the bag onto,a t;pe that ran-over
a pulley-,
he would pull the bag with the
cheese in it up' about 3 feet off the
flore. then he' would give the rope
to one of the boys and tell him to
puir
and the kid would pull and the
cheese would go down to the flore
and the kid would fly up in the air
then a kid put on roller skates
and took the bag in his arms and
the durn thing threw him all
around the stage and knocked
him down
they wont tell what is in the
cheese, by golly, I sure would like
to know
but i ain't going up on. that
there stage to try to find out not
me. i think f 00 much of my life
