THE BIG STORM Our boss sent us to interview the prognosticator who lays. out the weather, 12 months in advance, for the medical almanac, we expected to see a venerable chap with enough chin 'whiskers to stuff a mattress. Instead we found a smart young man with concise mustachios like quota- tion marks directly, under his nos- trils. He wits in the office of Pow - kers Peculiar. Pettets. "How come," we said, bitterly, "you didn't predict the .big snow storm?" "Have a pellet," he said sauvely, changing the subject with remark- able adroitness, and passing us the circular box. 11 re chewed a mouthful of them savagely. "They have a horrid taste," we snapped, simply not caring how we sauced Sim. He bowed until his forehead touch- ed, the floor. "The customer is always right," he riposted, with Chesterfieldian nne- tuon "usLetess, us Jet round to the subject, again," we prompted. , "Certainly! follow nee," he said, leaving the office abruptly, We fol- lowed. . "This is the rounding room," he explained, opening a door, "The pills are eut into little .squares, and are then sandpapered, and sandpap- ered and sandpapered until they are round." We watched them doing it. There were millions of girls, each holding a square pill between thumb and fore= finger, •while other millions of girls sandpapered then' until they were spherical -that is, the pills. "But," we said, musingly, while we roguishly squirted pellets up into the aid from between compressed lips, hoping they might adhere to the ceiling', "but don't they ever sand- paper their thumbs, and make them bleed?" "No,"he said, adjustinghis s Ad - h atn's-apple, nonchalantly, "for that would turn the pills blue: all our help being composed of ,blue-blood- ed, Russian refugee Princesses. And - we much prefer the brighter, more cheerful reds and pinks from the ink bottle for our Pellets." "But that storm?" we maundered, concisely. "Why' bring that up?" he answer- ed, in a so-called laughing manner. "Our boss ---P "Well I'll tell you," he said, con- fidentially, "Once upon a time our Russian employees used to do noth- ing except eat cavier and look at the snow. We had run out of caviar temporarily, so we just had to let it snow to keep, peace in our one big family. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, old oae!" . We floated aflwaty,rchewing pills! and waving to loin until we were out of sight. So !that -explains the storm. , THE WARM SIDE OF THE STONE St. Patrick!
