In Nova Scotia. I have a
Ohinese friend, alwaya called
Won Bunt Lung, Au me early
thirties he owned and operated
the Capitol Theatre, Yarmouth.
1 was hooked in for a three day
stand with two other acts from
Boston. On Saturday night when
the Ghost walked (a theatrical
term for pay day) I went in for
my money. He never spoke until
lie paid and. then said, you have
a rotten act but you can sure
pack them in. A compliment, or
not?
Last Christmas, as usual I re-
ceived a card from him. I wrote
him and inquired what his noble
ancestors, used for pain, or what
would give me a night's sleep.
In a week I received a reply and
inclosed were two little Pills,
almost invisible to the naked
eye. I was informed one would
give me beautiful dreams both
12 hours repose. Friday After-
noon I took one and laid down
on the couch. How long I shall
never know. I got up feeling
fine, walked out and my panel
truck was gone. Well, I figured
some of my friend with these
new contraptions, Chay., Fords
etc. wanted to go somewhere
and it was important for them
to get there on time, so I'm
always happy to guarantee a
safe and sure trip by loaning my
vehicle of transportation. There
was a 19135 Cadillac sitting in its
place with a card which said
"presented to the Kansas Farmer
by grateful citizens of Morris,
Brussels and Grey.". Iwas quite
happy but knew it was about
time. Well, I parked down by
the Gentlemen's Club and pro-
ceeded toward the Post Office.
The streets looked like ellinnilig
1
silver. gone was the black strip
of mourning our reeve had
laid down in memory of his
friend John Wintermeyer. Davey
was coining down the street with
a machine that cleaned up the
debris and polished at the same
time Wilfred Willis was putting
up new blinds on his warehouse.
The old ones had been on since
1867 and were getting a trifle
faded. A big truck was parked
and 1 had a feeling I was almost
as strong as 'when I was 21. i
took a bit of a lift and up came
the front end a good foot off the
ground. Boy was I happy! When
I got near the Queens Tommy
Willis and. Al Logan were
having a bit of a chat. I walked
up and said "Will you two please
get into the gutter where you
belong and let a gentleman pass.
They made disparaging remarks
so I gave each a tap on the
skull and put them to sleet),
Looking across the street I saw
a sign F,.A..141Ill. written above
George Baeker'S Butcher Shop.
I asked Frankie Thompson. Where
George was and he told me that
Poor George had run into evil
times. He and Tommy Leek had
had lost all they evened on a
horse called Finn's Boots. Frank.
le said George was working
among the farmers cleaning pig
peas, digging ditches etc. Oh, says.
Fraukie, there he is now. Darned
if George wasn't getting out of
MY panel. This sure, surprised
as he never •seemed to like this
vehicle and abused it terribly by
saying mean things. Gone were
the fancy shirts I admired, gone
was the gab, gone were the $35
shoes. He had on a pair of over-
alls (the first time in his life)
and a blue smock. I said to my-
self, well, George had more sins
than the rest of us but I forgive
him and. I'll call up Charlie
Thomas and Ross Nichol and see
that he works among the better
class of pigs.
I walked into the cocktail
lounge, sat down, and five of
the prettiest girls I ever did see
came over and informed me they
were a show troupe and wanted
ins for their M.C. I signed a con-
tract at four hundred per week,
plus transportation, hotels, In-
surance and a great many
etcetras. Well, I got home as
quick as 1 could to get my grip
and my two fiddles and dashed
if I didn't trip and hit my head
against the couch. The girls were
waiting. When I came to I ran to
the door yelling "I'm coming
girls, I'm, coming". Alas! Gone
was the Cadillac, but the old
panel was still there. Being a
quick thinker, I said what a
horrible dream. I dreamed two
little girls were drowning in the
mill dam and I was just jumping
in to save them. I got a cup of
coffee -and a cookie, a poor ex-
change for five pretty girls and a
