Last night I was cleaning up my den and putting up some new pennants and I ran across this picture I took of some of the ung down at Coney last sum- mer. The boys are Barney Cock- shafer and Joe Flicker, and the girls are two dames they hung around with. Barney and Joe and I worked together in’ the foundry, and this Sunday we all went down to Coney early in the morning with our girls. | Barney was the greatest little kidder you id was getting off hot ones all the time. Like when we went in a standing in front of one of these ever saw ¢ side-show and was cleetrical wizards who was doing tricks with batteries and Barney pipes up, “I bet he’s a live wire, all right, all right!” The crowd nearly went off their head laugh- ing.

When we got off, everybody had an appetite, so we got some peanuts and chocolate bars and buttermilk, and we all felt prime. After that we went in the Eden Musee and nearly split our sides laughing when Barney crawled in with the wax dummies and ‘posed there with them. Barney said he still felt kind of hungry, so he bought a big box of peppermints ar when it and some ice cream sandwiches and salt water taffy. Then we went back to where Al's flivver was parked, and Barney got a couple more hot dogs ‘and an Eskimo pie to chew on the way back. y Everybody was feeling swell, and we sang songs all the way back, and B.:ney played his uke. But toward the end of the trip Barney got kind of silent, and IT asked him what ailed him, but he said he must have et some thing that disagreed with him. Yes, sir, Barney was a great boy. You should have seen the flowers the boys in the foundry sent him a week before he died But it certainly was funny how the doctors never found out what had made him sick.
