Dinner ’ Stories
An editor and a. merchant were
discussing the virtue of billboard
advertising. The merchant contend-
ed that more people road. the bill-
board .then the newspapers. After
a lengthy conversation in which
neither man would give in. the men
parted.
The next week the merchant
came tearing down the street to
know why the obitUary- or his
wife's mother was not in the paper.
especially after he had seen that
a copy was taken to the newspaper
office.
"Well." said the editor. “I know
you wanted the obituary read by
the people so I took it out and nail-
ed it up on‘your billboard."
One of the guides in Glacier Na-
tional Park is, or was, named Mike
Gannon.
Once he guided a nature-loving
woman 0! more than generous phy-
sical proportions. Mounting her
horse and dismounling was a task
that taxed all her powers and in.

particularly bad place in the trail a

steep slope. As they rounded the
turn the woman called Mike:
"Please help me down.”

the toot of the tree. There she
stood guzing’upward for a rampant,
and then in a loud. clear voice call-
ed out:
Then she went back to the horse
"Help me up, please." she said to
Mike.
They accomplished the mounting
with even more diaiculty than at
first and moved forward. ,
"What did you say, Mike?" an-
other guide inquired when Mike
told the story.
"I said nothing.” replied Mike,
“but I just thought I'd hate to be
the teller to guide her through the
Calitornia. redwoods."

She nodded toward the table where

The other woman nodded. “Gave
me the impression of some woman's

Betty glanced at the man again.
“This place is full of bored wives

Alta said. .
