GINS NEWS iTgue 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 Truthfully Yours T.
