He was so tired they called him Kelly Springfield. Now the strange part was this: He had never been to a musical comedy. ‘That was why the kind-hearted managers were ad- vertising like that.

So he bought a ticket for a musical comedy, although I am sure that Mr. Jolson, who was appear- ing in the play, would gladly have given him a ticket for nothing. Well (and I hope you are all well), he heard a song in that musical comedy which completely altered his life. The song was sung (which is a way songs sometimes have) by a black-face comedi- an, who shall be nameless, pt that I give you a hint by saying that his initials are ALJ., and if you are clever enough to guess who it is, you shall receive a free grand-stand seat at the coronation of Henry Ford as King of Ireland. The song dealt with a rag-jag singer, buck-an’- winger, who’s agoin’ to tell his Uncle Sammy that he’s goin’ to see his Mammy | down in the cotton at Alabammy. The business man thought for a moment that the author of the words had missed a bet | in not rhyming “cotton” with “rotten,” but when he observed the enthusiasm of the rest of the audience, he realized that the fault lay with himself. He now understood that he had always been so tired because he had not been hearing songs of this kind, and he deter- mined to turn over a new leaf. Here- after he would not only hear these songs regularly; he would live according to the ideals they express. The following day he failed in business, | because He gave all his money For some flapjacks with honey, the flapjacks gave him indigestion, and there is now a monument to his memory in the State Insane Asylum where he spent many happy hours, my darlings.
