Egg View Notes By Leste Van Every ORNY PAINE has come into the pos- session of a long piece of rope which he will carry around with him in his second-hand Pollywog automobile. Some day he hopes to come driving into Egg View with the rope fastened to the back end of the machine. Tink Nitz read the other day of a party who wanted to sell a live rattlesnake. Tink don’t care to buy any, as he claims he has enough in his back lot to run him a long time. Muley Cannon, who was in Pollywog on important business Tuesday, took a close look at a woman on the street wearing a high-grade string of pearls around her neck. If he had seen her with it on, in a picture play, Corny says he might have been able to tell how she got hold of it. Corny Paine is overhauling the engine on his second-hand Pollywog automobile. It runs pretty good, but one of the important- sounding noises has been missing on the past few trips, and he don’t like it. Truman Bilge spent Tuesday afternéon trying to pry a big turtle out of Moon Lake. Naturally Halligan—I guess that out of town friend of Jack’s had never been at a wedding where they had ushers. Douxley —Why? Halligan— I heard him asking one of“ pyazon by H. C. GREENING them for a The Collector: 1-1-If I S-Slip with This I'll Be S-S-Souvenirs Myself! program. The Handy Man By Tom P. Moxcax HE handy man’s little old fix-it shop is down the street a short way. The kids all over the neighborhood think that what he-can’t do or make can- not be done or made. The puzzles he concocts from wire and the chains he whittles out of wood are really astonishing. He tinkers the balky lawn mowers for blocks around, and occasionally mows most of the lawn for some little boy who has tackled more than he can accomplish. When any of the children are ailing the handy man is called in, and if there isn’t much the matter with Willie or Dorothy he does just about as well as the doctor, and doesn’t charge a cent, either. Often on pleasant afternoons he wheels paralyzed Mr. Feebles around in his chair while Pheeny goes to market. And it was he who persuaded young Elwood Dabble to quit lopping over pool tables and got a job for him. When Roy and Dimple Smith had such a row about nothing in particular that it looked as if a divorce was the only outcome, the handy man got ’em together somehow, and they are as happy as clams now. He is the most satisfactory pallbearer in the whole’ neighborhood, and a first-rate weather prophet. And when the Bunkum baby got a bean up its nose the handy man knew right away what to do. Draven by Oxsox Lowett And so we were all pretty sorry for him when the little speck of money that Lirree Estity’s Inca or a “Strarcut- he had saved and put into oil stocks was lost. But “Easy comes and easy goes!” FORWARD” Person says the handy man, and set to work harder than ever in his little old fix-it shop.
