AOPT XATU&E WOKDEBFUL! (By Us, Ourselves.) Well, y'know customers. I was _ victim to a picnic last Sunday, and maybe it was hard boiled eggs, or pickles, or lee cream or tumpin'* that acted in a way to bring bad: mstnorlea of childhood days In a Mg city when I used to go wading In uack of a sprinkling wagon. There was an Infant river there, and It's there yet If somebody didn't throw a sponge or blotter In it. It had the babble that move* poets to rhyme, but It moved me to unbook myself from shoes and socks for a 1U foot swim. With an idle branch for support I waded down the center of the stream with a De Sou expression of discovering the Miseladppl on my dial, and whaa I ■plashed In focus of the bunch they claimed I waa a "bug." I dldr‘ It I waa a creeket. I mat rapid progress with my wading, I decided for the future to go In still deeper, and buy a swimming vest and pant* But the only drawback waa my pedals, absorbed ao much of the river I couldn't - et my root aatcheia on to loin the rest of the gang la the various picnic pastimes. Bo I had to sit under a tree and amuse the mosquitoes until the Ode ran out

of my hoofs.
