n, when suddenly it flew up with a snap. He looked
bewildered, stuck his head out of the window, and finally said to
himself, 'Well, I reckon that's the last they'll see of _that_ derned
thing!'"

As we have been informed, and as we repeat for the benefit of the School
of Journalism, there is nothing to running a column except the knack of
writing more or less apt headlines. And so for the instruction of
students whose ambition may be vaulting in that direction we will reopen
a short court in head-writing. See what you can do with the divorce suit
of Hazel Nutt against John P. Nutt, filed in a Florida court.

As to the divorce suit of Hazel Nutt vs. John P. Nutt, M. M. C. offers,
"Shucks!"

Another happy headline for the Nutt vs. Nutt divorce suit, suggested by
Battle Creek: "Two Nutts Will Soon Be Loose."

The hand-painted baby-blue pencil for the best headline last week goes
to the artist on the San Francisco Chronicle for the following:

"Prehistoric Skulls Found Digging Wells."

We see by the paper--our favorite medium of information--that Duluth is
to have an evening of "wrestling and dance." A keen eye can probably
tell the difference.

The drawn-work decanter, prize for the best headline for the Nutt vs.
Nutt divorce case, is awarded to G. C. H. for his inspiration, "Nutts
for the Lawyers."

Who went around dressed in Batik.
When they asked, "Are you well?"
He replied, "Ain't it hell?
But in Art it's the very last shriek."

Received by a Missouri teacher: "Please excuse Frank for being absent. I
kneaded him at home." In the woodshed? Ouch, Maw!

* * *

How could the teacher rebuke Emil when she read this excuse from his
father? "The only excuse I have for Emil being late was nine o'clock
came sooner than we expected."

* * *

For our part, we are moved to protest against the growing practice among
parents of rebuking their children for playing with the children of
prohibitionists. We should not visit upon the little ones the sins of
their intemperate progenitors.
