THE
FURTHER
ADVENTURES
OF
When Zeppo's circus started up, it made a
real sensation. The fleas felt fit; they’d done
their bit, and got a grand vacation — a chance
to sting and have a fling, express their natural
feeling. So when they took the ring again, the
crowd just hit the ceiling! With clap and yell,
they called it swell—and Jiminy, their
trainer, saw very well he’d rung the bell as
master entertainer.
Old Soldier Zeppo, full of pep, just sat and
sorted money. At last the future looked like
fun, and growing old was sunny. He planned
to paint Marina's cheeks with vitamins and
cream, and buy his mice the kind of cheese
they'd nibbled in a dream. While he the
only man alive who thanked his stars for lleas
— would pile his hoard upon the board, and
live a life of ease.
^^[omknts come when mice and men and
crickets, ere they part, get funny feelings in
the throat and feel their eyelids smart, '‘(.'by,
old pal,” sighed (.us the mouse. “Don’t catch
crick-in-the-neck.” “Ya hunk of cheese,”
sniffed Jiniiny, “I’m strong for you, by heck!”
They smiled and joked, but each one choked
and knew the other's grief, that good old pals
must say farewell in partings all too brief.

QUEER DUCKS, AREN'T WE?
George Bernard Shaw appeared at his
own wedding on crutches and wearing
a ragged jacket. The young author
was recovering from a long illness at the time,
and with his shabby clothes and crutches, he
looked like anything but a bridegroom. At
least the minister thought so, for he started
to marry Shaw’s bride to the best-looking man
in the crowd — one of the witnesses...
Henry Ward Beecher, American orator and
lecturer, helped his bride-to-be make their
wedding cake. Henry picked over and stoned
the raisins, and beat the eggs. . .
Thomas Carlyle wanted to take his brother
John along with him on his honeymoon, but
the bride said, “No!” And Bismarck had the
idea that it would be nice to take a large party
of friends along when he and his wife went on
their wedding trip, but his wife thought other
wise. . .
Irvin S. Cobb wasn't conspicuously well off
when he married. He admits that when he re
peated the words: "With all my worldly
goods I thee endow,” he could hardly keep
from laughing, “All my worldly goods, as
nearly as I could recall at the moment." says
Mr. Cobb, "consisted of clothes, a set of Red
path's ‘History of the World,’ and a collec
. tion of postage stamps.” . . .
A pretty young widow Mrs. Bathurst
Skelton by name had so many suitors the
young men drew straws to decide who should
propose to her first. It turned out that a
young fellow named Thomas Jefferson won
the draw, and the young widow, as smart as
she was pretty, accepted him at once. . .
Franklin D. Roosevelt, twice winner of the
Punctuality Prize at Croton, kept his bride
waiting at the altar when he failed to hear the
cue that should have brought him to her side!

^)ur Hero’s spirits might Ire low', but not his
resolution. He had his wealth of happy health,
a cheerful constitution. And when a knight
has fought for right, there just is no denying,
he can’t turn back and change his track — he
has to keep on trying. So Jiminy, with con
science clear, and heart defying sorrow, will
find somebody in distress, and other work
tomorrow. 77>« End
