MR. CONDUCTOR, please stop the Orchestra just a moment, while we
breathlessly inquire whether Mr. _Tom Bone_, reported in January
_Beaver_ as _vers librist_ and musical instrument maker of Vernon,
should not spell his name _Trom Bone_? Sounds like sax-oph-one and
half-a-dozen of the other to us. (Quick, Friday, the mallet!)
RUMORED, MR. AULIS, in the grocery, has lately purchased a new house.
We hope he made a good deal and can sell it, if he wants to, for a
$1000 or so profit, without being called a profiteer!
THERE IS A GENTLEMAN down here on the prairies who admits he has bowled
228. Mr. Samuel Beggs offers to tell who it is, if anyone is in doubt.
IF WISHES were material things we bet: _Mr. Kaufman would have a waist
like Annette Kellerman._
SH-SH-SH! Strictly _entre nous_! Mr. Wood or anybody'll tell you that
standing up for the principles one believes in is like learning to
roller skate. You won't get anywhere if you sit down too often.
