A big-game hunter in Africa
was on his way back to camp one
night when an enormous lion
walked out of the jungle 20 feet
away. As the lion was about to
spring, the hunter fired his last
cartridge and missed. The lion
sprang too far and landed 15 feet
beyond the hunter, who then ran
for camp and made it safely.
The next day the hunter went
back to the woods to practice a
little shooting at close range. He
heard a strange noise in the brush
and investigated. It was the lion
—practicing short leaps!
AMBITION?
A pessimist has defined ambi-
tion as working your head off at
a job you don’t enjoy, in a place
you don’t like, trying to save
money you can’t keep, in order
to spend your declining years in
idle boredom that you don’t en-
joy, regretting that you can’t
stay at some place you won’t like
any better.
THE MEANING
Examiner at Driver School:
“What does it mean when a wo-
man is holding out her hand?”
Male: “It means she’s turning
left, turning right, backing up,
going to stop, or waving at
someone.”

NAT AND PIKE
An optimist and a pessimist
went into business together,
Trade flourished.
“Well,” said the optimist,
“We’ve had a wonderful month.
It’s been one constant run of cus-
tomers.”
“Yeah,” agreed the pessimist
sourly, “but look at those -front
doors! If people keep shoving
through them, the hinges will be
worn out in another week.”
Occasionally we come ’across
an individual who buys more
necessities than he can afford.
They live across the street from
each other and are pals. They
have the usual mischievous acti-
vities of boys of their ages, in-
ducting letting air out of tires/
repainting the family car and
placing planks with nails in them
in the driveway to see if they will
puncture tires. Recently they de-
cided to play preacher and hold
a baptizing. Bobby tried to im-
merse James, but it was no good
—the wash tub they were using
was too small. “Aw, let me show
you how they do it at my
church,” said James. .He scooped
up a handful of water and pour-
ed it on Bobby’s head, adding,
“There, that’s all there was to it.”

Winfield Baptist Church. Burial
followed at the Tranquil ceme-
tery near Mt. Vernon, Franklin
County.
Mrs. Bannister passed away at
noon Friday at the home of a
son, M. W. Mills, at Amarillo at
the age of 79.

The small rural one-room
school is on its way out, accord-
ing to the National Conference on
Rural Education. In 1948 there
were 75,000 one-room schools in
the country—now there are only
48,000. In Texas the yellow
echool busses and good rural
consolidated schools are taking
their places. Teachers with de-
grees are taking the places of
those who have been teaching
without them, thanks to the Gil-
mer-Aikin law. Rural children
have a better opportunity to get
a real education now than they
have previously had.
It might be well to observe
that when a one-year-old mem-
ber of the household reaches for
everything in sight, .the habit sel-
dom leaves' him. He grows up
and still wants the earth, or a
large acreage thereof, provided
the government will build a fence
around it.

POSITIVE PROOF-
A man was approached by a
tramp on the street, who asked
him for a dollar.
“If I give you a dollar,” replied
the man, “you’ll only gamble it
away.”
“Oh, no,” said the tramp, “I
do not gamble.”
“Well, then, you will spend it
on some woman,” replied the
man.
“Absolutely not,” insisted the
tramp. “I never associate with
women.
“Then you will spend
whiskey,” said the man.
“Never drink’,” said the tramp.
“Tell you what Ell do,” beam-
ed the man. “I’ll give you five
dollars if you will come home
