I don't know vhat urged me to «natch a snail lunch, get ay old pal and go to th« Medicine Rocks for a day of pleasure. But let the inevitable be as it will. It was a sunny day and ay pal and I felt like adventuring so ws set about examining all the odd shaped rocks that were in our path. One towering rock looked eighty familiar to us and—why yes, of course, it's the Odd Tellows Temple and it was the one that we had taken special interest in when we came on a picnic here during our grade school days. Since we are the adventurous sort we decided to climb up into the cave for we could see the entrance not far above us. Ve labored and struggled and finally reached the entrance. Ooh, It was dark in there. Ugh , cams from the darkness, Me Medicine Man. My pal fished out her flashlight and shone it into the darkness and there before our eyes sat (yes, vs were really stunned) a shriveled old Indian. He didn't seem as though he were going to scalp us so we became bolder and asked him a question or two. We found that he was an old medicine man of the Crow Indian tribe and had been hiding in the Medicine Socks for years. He had not made medicine for many moons so we induced him to start right then and tell us about all our old school friends who we had not seen for years, so he began and we were astounded at what we saw in the mist rising from his brew over the camp fire. Look who's first, HEAR ALBERT, not as straight as when in school. Loaded down. Can I believe my «yes? Tee, it's a street sweeper broom. And his ragged pockets bulge. Oh, what a pity, bottles cards. Tes, the cause of his downfall, for he was once head cashier of the United States Reserve Bank of lew York City and now Just think, chief street sweeper of the city of Ridgway. And who is that smedl lady with a quick return, none other than ROSE ILLA AWT8RS0H. Ye find her as a District court attorney winning all cases and as a hobby while not in court eh does interior decorating. Because of hor nervous disposition and the strain of traveling around so much, fighting so many court cases on who owns this dog and that, she becomes very weak minded in her old age. Who Is that tired young fellow next in lino. Ah I It's G10RGE BONIFIILE. Ho has boon exploring tho Junglss to soo if thore Is a monkey every place a coconut tree grows. This question has played upon the minds of poople for yoars so George finally takes upon himself the great task of finding out. We are glad to report that he has succeeded. There comes a young independent lady loaded down with art paper and pencils. 1TCLTE CLOCISII is editor of the famous comic strip, Babies Crow Up and you'll find her comic strip in every newspaper Instead of Bringing Up lather . Ivelyn's comics will appear in the fcalaka Eagle, which is the highest honor that could be conferred upon hex. And that tall lanky lad with the broad grin. lo trouble to recognise him for ho isn't a day older. The same old Bill, Tes. BILL C00P1B is right and of all things he tells us he is head designer and buyer of Montgomery Ward and as a side line has won many prizes for his crocheted bed spreads. Good old Bill, how glad ws are to know he is Pep- ping up in the world and as a life companion he has found a beautiful little gypsy girl to share his Joys and sorrows and change the soakers on young Bill. The neat and clean but poorly dressed lady who sells tsn-csnt Jewelry comes next. Tes, BIB5ICI ILM0R1, with her traveling salesman kit sells this Jewelry to cover up her identity as one of the world's famous artists and musicians. In Westminister Abbey is a famous oil painting with her name inscribed below. In Rome the people are delighted with her ability to play any instrument and also her beautiful soprano voice. Here in the United States she goes by another name and sells her Jewelry for a living.
