1450 Mirasol Street, Los Angeles 23, California about twenty minutes of unbelievable eloquence to tell the history of the great red horse. ***

And he always finished the same way. He said: "IIe broke all the records, and he broke down all the horses, so there wasn't nothing for him to do but retire. He's got everything a horse ought to have, and he's got it where he ought to have it. He's just the mostest horse."

>r {< ,<

That "mostest" word reminds me of an East Texas farm negro who finally got to the beach and looked out over the Gulf of Mexico. He stared a while, and then remarked: "Thass the fustest thing Ah eveh seed they wuz enough of."

My lumber friend ".0 ;";" Lrr" "oo,r. taking an Eastern visitor for his first look at the Pacific Ocean, seeing it from the Santa Monica Palisades. Said Burns to the visitor: "I know you've seen the Atlantic Ocean lots of times, but the Pacific is a whole lot bigger than the Atlantic." And the visitor, straining his eyes out over the broad waters, replied: "Yes, f can see that it is." ***

Speaking of things in large quantities, my oldest friend, Dan Orr, declared his opinion that the following was the funniest and best story ever printed in these columns: An Indian chief had done so much good for his people that the Great Spirit appeared to him and told him that because of his fine leadership he could have three wishes come true, anything he wanted. So the chief pointed to the great lake stretching away into the horizon, and said, "See great lake? All whiskey." Then he pointed to the great mountain piercing the sky, and said, "See mountain? All tobacco." often, as r read .r,a r,J"r:r:. the status quo (which, according to Deacon Jones, means "de mess we is in"), there comes to my mind a prayer story I told thousands of times during World War One. Two colored soldiers were in a first line trench, their first experience under fire. Suddenly all hell broke loose around them as the }Iuns started a bombardment that seemed headed right at them. One of them, a former preacher in Alabama, couldn't stand the strain. He grabbed the other by the arm and dragged him down to the floor of the trench, where he knelt, raised his eyes on high, and sent his loud pleading heavenward: "Please, Lawd, send you' Son down to hep us befo' we all gits killed ! Please, please, Lawd, send you' Son down -."

He paused and the Great Spirit said, "You have one more wish-anything you want." And the chief, after studying a moment, said, "Oh, well, a little more whiskey."

At this point the other soldier cut in and took over. His voice rose loud and clear as he prayed: "Doncha do it, Lawd! Doncha do it! Don't send you' Son down! Come on down you'sef, Lawd ! Dis ain't no boy's job !" ***

And as I look and listen and read, I agree fully with that frightened soldier, that this ain't no boy's job.
