JGee !7! Thought Charlotte, as Norman glanced up with a wink, Oh, isn't it grand just to sit here and think That some day I will stand with the world at my feet And people will pay five dollars a seat Just to see me perform in a play-some day. -Kansas exclaimed aside to Joe, Isn't that guy some talker, though! -Said Joe, half startled, emitting a yawn, Mister, are you being waited upon? - 2H,4H, Glen over and over Mumbled as if he were trying to discover With which the best sketch of a box could be drawn, -While Gwen, who had heard him repeating these, Said absent-mindedly, Number, please! -And Ada and Florence Solterman fMy rhymes are beginning to falter, menl , Were looking around for a halterman To hang the fellow who spoke so fast That they were quite sure he would languish at last. -Thora shook like an aspen leafg Her heart was Wasted with her grief, Her thoughts with dread disasters thronging She straight was seized with a desperate longing To prophesy. -But she was halted By Bill, who cried with a soul exalted, Oh, I am born of a race of men Who believe in taking, now and then, A trifling pinch of the spice of life To sort of vary the mundane strifeg Therefore, take note, I move we vote That the speaker there' has spoken enough And we request him to can the stuff. -The orator stopped and the music started, While Mary Flinn, half broken-hearted, Thought of a lonely violin No lonlier than Mary Flinn. -Lastly, a burst of fine applause And a few bouquets of fiowers, Andf whatever may have been their cause, We accepted them all as ours. 96178

Now, he didn't say how, But they must have done it in some odd way, For Ralph is still alive today.

Litheredge. head geologist of the New York Oil Co.. while digging for pota- toes at his home at 13th and Cherry Sts., made an astounding discovery yesterday which will undoubted- ly reorganize the oil industry in Casper. Mr. Litheredge s t a t e s that while loosening the soil with a spade, his at- tention was attracted to a black fluid seep- ing among the sods. He immediately se- cured the services of a fellow geologist to confirm his discovery. after which he made arrangements for the development of the well. It is a general opinion of the inves- tigators that the oil is of such nature that it will lead to the re- turn of an oil boom similar to that of 1918-20. Former Casperite Becomes Famous.
