made me so mad
“So you think I sound crazy? Well I
guess I was pretty much of a dope.
“Sam's never praised anything so
much as he did that golden-brown
fried chicken I served. So light, so
crisp and so lickin’ good he devoured
every last morsel.
“Do you blame me for being mad?
Why, for years I’ve been telling every
body how wonderful Crisco is for pie
* crust and I just now found out how
\ grand it is for frying! Think of the de- .
licious fried foods we’ve missed! |
“It’s Crisco for fried foods from now on!
^ For the kids, too! For 9 out of 10 doctors
agree that foods fried properly with Crisco
are digestible. Crisco’s all-vegetable—pure
and sweet as new-churned butter. So it’s
Crisco for all my cooking, cakes, pies and
fried foods. It improves all 3.”

Horseneck’s Triple Cross
Annie Sholtz — Missus Horseneck, that is — had
. been naggin' ol' Horseneck ever since she got
out 6’ the Wac to buy her a new set o’ dishes.
Well, it bein’ near Annie’s birthday Horseneck
goes an’ picks out a fancy 52-piece collection an’
brings it over here to hide a few days so he can
surprise her with it.
You know how a bunch of guys will get to jokin’
an’ thinkin’ up deviltry while they’re settin’ around.
"Wouldn’t it be funny," Jake Bullis suggests, “if
ol’ Horseneck was to stub his toe on the steps an’
bust the set right as Annie was openin’ the door?”
“It’d be funnier if when he hands it to Annie the
bottom came out an’ she spilled it." Gilly Baze says.
»e Keep tninKin oi an kiuus oi calamities —
not really wishin’ ’em no hard luck.
About this time a little Italian guy who makes
plaster-of-Paris statues spoke up savin’ he could cast
a set o’ dishes from the originals. Then he could
paint ’em shiny with enamel just like real dishes.
Well, we let Horseneck in on the gag but he was a
little doubtful. “You know Annie gets mad easy,” he
says. “If I go bustin’ any dishes I might not get a
chance to explain."
But we talk him into it an' after four days of monkey
business we get the plaster set all ready an’ then
Jake gets a flash which is terrific. A regular triple
cross! We will take the good set an’ give ’em to
Annie ahead of time. Horseneck will go home with
the bum set; Annie will know it's phony an’ will
catch the bottom to keep it from failin’ out. Then
she will pretend to be mad at Horseneck over some
thin’ an’ throw the whole box at him.
Personally, I’m through with such practical jokes,
Here’s how it all came out: Archie, our dishwasher,
gets the boxes mixed, an’ delivers the phony set to
Annie this afternoon. She don’t open the hox an’
so don't discover the boner. Horseneck takes
the good dishes home, playin’ his part perfect.
Annie plays her part too. until they both find that
their fancy set is lyin’ in pieces on the floor.
Then they come over an' threatened to crack all
our skulls with them 52 phony pieces o’ plaster. Six
of us dug down an’ paid S4.70 apiece to buy Annie
a new china set, an' no jokin'. - WALLY BOREN
