On I
By a Bystander
“That was a good piece in the paper
on lie* poisoning dv-rs,'’ John B. Wat
kins, Jr., said to a D-spatoh mar yes
terday, ‘but what are you going to
do about the dogs that prowl around
your house every night nosing into
your garbage can? Every morning I
have to go out and pick up my garb
age can where the dogs have turned
it over during the night.”
Well, what are you going to do
about it? I asked Mr. Watkins right
back the same question. And he an
swered me hack the same answer i
gave him, “1 don’t know.”
He said ho couldn’t afford to pay
three or four dollars to get one of these
patented high-class, fool-proof, dog
proof garbage cans. And even if you
could, he said, you couldn’t make
everybody about the house co-operate
in keeping them tightly closed. He
didn t want the dogs poisoned, but ne
did want something done about them
getting into his garbage can. He didn't
mir.d them getting in there so much
as he did turning the can over and
scattering stuff all around over the
lot that they decided they didn’t want.
He didn’t know what could be done,
but thought positively something
should be.
Poor dogs! Everybody loves them,
still nobody loves them. They call the
dog man’s best friend, out yet he
makes a lot of trouble for man and
sometimes turns on the human and
puts him out of the way. Man he
get? mad, too. and then starts phooi
inp (he can’t do as good a job Os bit
ing as the dog can. so he has to re
sort to his gun). Man and his qog
sign a peace treaty and get on good
terms, then they fall out and declare
war and start killing each other. Just
like men getting along together, ain’t
it?
Well, Mr. Watkins, I'll make this
suggestion to you about your garbage
can. Suppose you either take it in
house every night or sit out there all
night yourself and shoo the dogs away.
Then while the dogs that prowl
around in the night time are sleeping
in the daytime, you can tuck yourself
away in your bed and do the same.
What do you think of that idea?
The big road shovel that has been
digging up main street had one of its
biggest audiences Thursday mormn b
along about the time it was finishing
up that part of the job around tne
Montgomery street intersection. They
were lined up along the' fronts of
stores for nearly half a block from
the corner taclc toward the fire
house. The thought just occurred to
me that if ther* was some way it.
could be done, (he city might just
put a high fence around the shovel
and then charge admissions. If tney
had been doing that ever since tn*
shovel’s been here, and been charging
fifty cents a head for every admis
sion they would by now have just
about enough money to pay for the
city's part of the cost of putting u,
the white way.
Reckon though it ain’t a bad idea
for something to be free. Costs you
money to do just about everythrng
you do now but breathing. And if
may not be so long before somebody
invents a breath tax.
A store stuck k sign out in from
reading “Fresh Fish for Sale Here To
day”. - And when you analyze the
idea back of that sign you’ll see there’s
no real need for more than just tne
one word “fish”. Let’s see now.
If; the store is selling fish it could
hardly expect a customer to suppose
it would be telling about It if they
were on sale somewhere else so why
the word “here”? If it hangs cut
-he 3ign at all why the word "today”
when it is naturally supposed the fish
are on sale today or the sign wouldn't
be out there. Then, the dealer could
hardly expect the public to buy his
fish if they weren't fresh. And if he-*
dealing in fish, of course he’s got
them for sale. So that eliminates the
word sale. Now we have left only the
word “fish”. In the final analyses,
isn’t that enough? Don’t that convey
the whole message?
This diagnosis ain’t original with !
me. All I get credit for is remember- ■
ing it and telling it.
Guess this’ll be enough for toaa^. •
S’long.

“Good Old Days” Recalled
as Buggy Mires Its Way
Through ‘‘Main >Drag”
Shades of the ’good old days’’ when
men were men and the city streets
and country roads were the same, both
avle deep in mud, were recalled here
today as two men came driving up
Henderson’s main street in a. buggy
drawn by a mule.
As the mule slipped and slithered
through the mud and the buggy mired
pedestrians talking on the streets be
gan to recall how Joe’s dray or some
body’s wagon mired deep into the
“main drag” in the years before it was
paved.
But all their tall stories could not
touch one told on the street since It
was torn up. It seems that this gentle
man was on liia way to work one
, morning and passed along southeren
part of the “drag” he noticed a very
good hat out in the street. He quickly
threw down a plank over the mud pick
ed up the hat but was very much sur
prised to see a man’s face beneath’ll.
He quickly asked the man why he
didn’t get out. He said he couldn’t,
his feet were caught in the stirrups
of his saddle the poor horse having
sunk into one of the numerous bottom
less pits in the thoroughfare.
Os course, this last tale was jusi
one of the jokes told about the street.
You know, Americans are great pe^r
I pie they laugh and joke about some
thing that is inconveniencing them a
great deal. Truly, a great nation.
