Methuseloh

Methuselah ate what he found on his plate, And never-as people flg 119j17Did he note the amount of the calorie count; He ate it because it was chow.

He wasn't disturbed when at dinner he sat. Devouring a roast or a pie, To think it was lacking in granular fat, Or a couple of vitamins shy.

He cheerfully chewed every morsel of food, Untroubled by wopies or fears

Lest digestion be hurt by some fancy dessert, And he lived over nine-hundred years.

Conditions lmproved

A traveler in the Ozarks stopped for a drink at a wayside bar, and a one-gallus mountaineer sitting there soon asked him some questions including where he was from. When the traveler said that he was from Brazoria County, Texas, the hillbilly got right interested.

"Mister,i' he said, "I'm from Brazoria County myself. Born and raised there. Got a brother there named Jim Jenkins. Know him?"

The traveler said he did.

"Well," said the one-gallus fellow, "when you get back there tell him you saw his brother Sid, and tell him I'm a-doin' mighty porely. Tell him my farm is mortgaged and I can't pay the interest; the cotton is all et up by weevils this fall, my chickens took up with some new kind of disease and died, and I don't believe I'll be able to send the kids to school this winter lessen I get some he'p. So you tell Jim if ever he is goin' to he'p me, now is the time."

The stranger was sympathetic at so much hard luck and invited the fellow to have a drink. He accepted. Took corn whiskey. Took a second one without being invited. A big one. He wiped his mouth on his sleeve, and said:

"So you know my brother Jim out in Texas, eh?" The traveler again said he did. The one-gallus man said:

"Well, when you get back there and see him, tell him things are getting a whole lot better with me; a mighty lot better."

An hour later the stranger came back that way and the one-gallus man was coming out of the gin-mill, wiping his mouth on the back of his hand. He said:

"Aren't you the feller that knows my brother Jim?"

The stranger again said he was. So the hillbilly said:

"Look, friend, when you get back to Texas and see Jim, tell him everything is fine up here. Yes, sir, tell him I'm a-doin' fine. Tell him if he ever needs he'p, it don't make no difference how much, all he's got to do is call on me."

The Judge said: "Prisoner, have you anything to say before f pronounce sentence on you?"

The defendant was silent a few moments, and then thoughtfully said:

"Only this, your Honor. If I were you I don't believe I'd ever appoint this lawyer you assigned me to defend an innocent man."

"Patrolman Smith calling," came the voice from the hall, accompanied by a loud knocking at the door of the apartment.

"What do you want?" asked a woman's voice from inside.

"It's your husband we're bringing," said the policeman. "A big steam roller just ran over him."

"Well, don't stand there talking," said the wife. "Just slide him under the door."
