TOGO MAKES DISHCOVERIES
*
h
Dear Mr. Editor: When Hon. Chris Columbus diaheovered America, he
do so at his own risk. It are muchly the same with Gen. Housework—-all per
sons must be entirely careful about what they find out, because they can't
always do something with it. I know because I try.
My last former address was home of Hon. Mrs. J. B. Cluck, Canton, O.
1 am now employed there as an absentee.
This Hon. Cluck lady suddenly approach up to me last Tues. a. m. Sc
say with voice,
"Togo," she say so, "I am delightful reader of this newspaper."
"You are one in several 1,000,000," I snatch back, with expression of
rapid circulation.
"In this wonderfully home-made paper," she divulge, "I are frequently
suprised to read one department what tell considerable knowledge to ladies
what require to make housework unexpected.
"It seem insulting to sell so much wisdom for so small price," I contuse.
"Recipes like this," decry Hon. Mrs., "are good ways to know. Every
servant girl, whether male or female, should read this department & attempt
to do so also. New things can be thought of only by thinking of some
thing new. Therefore, remember I expect you to make some useful Dish
covery each week you are in this home."
With such language, she suddenly eloped away, leaving my hands in
thoughtful dishwater.
With frequent occasionally, Hon. Mrs. Cluck approach and dement.
"You And that dlshcovery yet, Togo?"
Wedsday pass, Thursday pass while Fryday & Satday proceed In similar
manner. At last it was Sunday.
This Sunday are devoted to stay-home amusement by Hon. Cluck, who are
a bald-haired gentleman of medium oldness. He spend this vacation by set
ting in slippers and enjoying quarrels he is too busy to attend to other days.
When these Is finished, he reads comical supplements until fatigued by
humor, when he spreads Hon. Comic page over his bald hair and commences
to snore.
"Oh!!" This from her. "If I could dishcover some way for to keep yor
from going to sleep every time you sat in that chair, I should be submerged
by much gratitude."
I was standing in next room near keyhole trying to listen when I axident
ally hear her make this dialogue.
Zlzz!! Intellectual flash arrive to brain: I should make one dlshcovery
what would give Hon. Cluck happy-home wakefulness when setting in that
chair. Banzai! I stogger backwards with Edison feeling of thumbs.
Next a. m. while Hon. Mrs. were absentee at Dept Store squandering
money on hair-pins, I approach- Hon. Chair where husband love to dream.
With artistic hammer & nails, I attach Hon. Chair to rope In next room which
were pulled by neat derangement of pulleys. He were a Mawruss Chair,
full of pads and very fat, and I was proud to see the expression of calm
comfort what he wear while setting there awaiting happy home-come of Hon.
Mr. Cluck.
At 6:47 hour, Hon. Cluck return back In usual mood of joyless anticipa
tion. He say several nouns expressing lateness of Japanese cookery, then he
remove off coat, collar, neckbow & shoeware, expecting to put on house slip
pers and smoke-jacket and manufacture comfort.
"If Togo shall take till breakfast preparing dinner, I shall go to my
Mawruss Chair and enjoy slight kitten nap," Hon. Mister glump.
"If you had more regular profiles, you would be a sleeping beauty," con
tuse Hon. Mrs.
"If this home was run right, it would not be run down!'' combust him.
"If you was not a fungus, you might be a genius," detone her.
I were deliciously relieved to hear them talk that way, because I knew
they would get interested in unpleasantness that Hon. Cluck would forget to
go sleep in Mawruss Chair until after dinner was ate. And then I would
have time to show my diaheovery.
And so it was. While I prepare what hash I could find, Hon. Cluck spent
time pacing backwards and reverse with expression peculiar to Admirals on
at

Did IV
Explode, Emerging Forth From Curtains Like Prima Donna.
July 4th. At lastly dinner set himself on table while Hon. Cluck devoured
big dinner amidst usual steam-roller grumbel about my unhappy cooking.
"Can't you recall some sweet language to make marriage pleasant?" renag
Mrs. Cluck.
"Marriage are only pleasant when he are asleep," he peruse, looking
expectfully to Mawruss Chair.
When It come to pie time, I could already observe dormatory expressior
of lodging-house crowling over fatty face of Hon. Boss. Yawns by him
Stretches. At lastly, he arose upwards, lit cigar, rubbed his tired businesi
eyes & started for library.
"I think one slight little nap in Mawruss Chair will prepare me,'
he say to Wife.
"Prepare you for what?" she dib back at Hon. HuBband.
"For go to bed," he resnort. He make sluggardly walk toward Mawrusi
Chair.
Now I knew it were time for activity, if my dlshcovery would be use
ful. So I ran with silent speed of cats toward other room where end o:
rope was. Through library door, I could see Hon. Chair setting then
with dimpled pads. I grabb rope detatched to pulleys what led to Hon. Chair
Next thing I could see Hon. Cluck back up towards Chair, stretch lovingly
and crouch his knees as if intending to set down. But he wasn't.
YANKS!!! With hero strength, I pull rope which cause Hon. Chair tt
sidle backwards on castor. Consequence of this was large. Hon. Cluck, sud
donly dejected from his set down, fell on his collar button, arriving to carpel
so hlppoponderously that entire home were jarred loose.
"O darling Mr. Husband, are you gone?" require Mrs. Wife, lopping ovei
him with heroine expression peculiar to Mary Pickford.
"Can't you tell I am here by the noise?" he gubble. "What spirituous me
dium has came here to pull away my chair with unseen hands?"
"I do it !" I explode with great quickness suddenly emerging forth from
curtains like prima-donna making first entrance when band play with great
exuberance.
"Why you done it?" Both Hon. Mister and Hon. Mrs. spoke together.
"It wa3 fault of you & daily newspaper," I snuggest to her. "Did yor
not tell me every servant girl should make dishcovery of something needed
in the home?"
"Perhapsly I did," Hon. Mrs. rosp back with question-mark.
"Did you not tell Hon. Husband something must be did to keep him from
sleeping in Mawruss Chair after big dinner every day?"
"I said thusly."
"Well!" This from me. "I have cooked np an Invention what will
keep Hon. Sir from all snores. Reward me, please!"
For immediate payment, Hon. Cluck arouse up with voice peculiar te
zoology. He annexed me by the seat of my collar & left me outside where 1
stood long time.
Mr. Editor, If you wish this dishcovery for your household page it will bs
yours for the cheapness of dirt.
Hoping you are the same,
Yours truly,
HASHIMURA TOGO,
