i i i 1 UDELl'II'IQ5Zi X l i junior Boys' Literary The Trai1's End Hello, pardnerln No reply. Stranger around these parts? These words came from an old man whose voice made one believe that he owned all the vast surrounding hills. To this last question the stranger replied that he had been acquainted around these here parts before. Might as well stop and rest from the hot sun. You can unpack your donkey in the shelter around back. Thanks In a few minutes the stranger returned and seated himself on the door sill in the shadow of the roof overhanging the rudely built cabin, Both men sat silent, looking vacantly toward the high hills beyond, which stood breathless in the tense midfsummer heat. Do you know, asked the stranger presently, a man around here by the name of Carson? Well, let's sec. Can you describe him to me? The stranger gave a description of his appearance and then went on to tell this tale: You see, he and I went prospectin' several years back somewheres close around here, and was doin' purty good. But you know this Carson was an awful crooked guy and one day I caught 'im stealin' from my share, so I leavcs 'im have a couple of shells from old 'Nancy'. The old boy doubled up and flopped onto the floor like he was dead, so I takes all the gold and beats it down to Texas for a while. Well, I soon lost it all and figurin' no one's found this layout, I thought I'd come back and open 'er up. I'd like ter takc you in as my pardner. We'll be sittin' purty in no time, eh? Oh course this claim's in my name and Carson's, but it ain't likely we'll hear from him no more. No, said the old timer, maybe not. An again' perhaps, yes, You see down yonder giere isuthe layout ya been talkin' about, and maybe you'd like to know that I'm Sid arson. Well, I'll be--, was all the stranger had time to say. What more he said was to the vultures. -Foster MacFadden What I Can As a poet I'm not Edwin Markham, As a humorist I'm not Irvin Cobb, As an essayist I can't beat Addison, And if I sing I make them all sob. As a thinker I'm not Albert Einstein, As a philosopher I'm not Will Durant, As an organist I'm not jesse Crawford, The above can do all that I cant. As a lover I'd make a poor Romeo, fThat's because I have no Iulietj With the racket I can't outscore Tilden Or hit eight out of nine on a bet. On the diamond I'm not Pepper Martin, With the pigskin I'm not Georgie Pfann As for golfing I'm not Tommy Armour But I whistle whenever I can. -Marshall Holverstott

KI all DlQl.I'll'lQ5ZIII i A junior Boys' Literary Strange, Indeed A 'Times please, I said as I stepped up to the news stand of the hotel where I was staying. Securing my paper I retired to the nearest vacant ,seat in the crowded lobby. I had scarcely seated mryself when I happened to overhear the following conversation: Is business any better in your line? No, the nearest I've been to any money was when I found half a dollar bill out in Denver. Same here.-By the way, I found half a dollar bill down in Tampa, and I've got twofbits that says mine is on the same side of the president's head as yours. I'll take you. At this they drew out their torn bills and started to compare them. I lowered my paper so that I could better witness this strange means of gambling. As I did so I could see that both were astonished at what they saw. Finally one spoke. Well, I'll be! This sure shows Ripley up. Imagine that: two parts of the same bill, one found in Tampa, the other in Denver, and brought together again in New York by two salesmen who have never seen each other before and will probably never meet again! It was indeed strange, for I knew that I was the one who had lost the dollar. --- Lloyd Morrison Vision I've heard of the Appenines, Of their hazy mists of blueg But give me the bald old Rockies And a cleanfcut, clearer view. Profit or Loss? I want to realize clearly Why people die to save A soul which they value dearly, And get for it only-a grave. -Harvey Mayer Ear Ache Like a battering ram It throbs and pounds, day and night. Now a pain, now a screech Breaks out in the sound, Like the shrill whistle Gt' a circus caliope. -Harold Stimmel
