January 31, 1925. THE HEEBIE JEEBIES 11. EDITOR'S MAIL Dear Editor: The City Hall Basket Ball team did not get a reply to that challenge. The gang feels as though it has won a big fight, Come on, Virge Blueitt. Was out strolling last week on the old lunch hour and saw the fire at 312 S. Clark st. Our own Bill Cowan was formerly in charge of this building, quite a responsible position for one of US. Our boys of Engine Company, No. 21, were the first to have water playing on the fire. They created about as much excitement when they pulled up their modern equipment as the fire. The boys around the "Pillar of Knowledge" are still going strong. You can find out who is going to be mayor in 1927 now. Bob Jackson's fight is old stuff with them. Too bad Coolidge don't know about these boys as they out-general Butler every day. Saw a couple of fair ones tripping up to the divorce court Monday. The girls will begin to get the dates from the Hall boys now as the old pay doys are beginning again. You know one pay in January makes things hard on shieks. The new junior clerk list is posted and, of course, some of us were in high places. The Hall shieks hold their daily meeting in front of the water bureau. Those kids sure know how to pan the chicks. Yours truly, THE CITY HALL REPORTER. Winter Park, Fla. Dear Sir: You haven't read until you have read the Heebie-Jeebies." So kindly let me read weekly "Whoa, Tillie!" I am enjoying splendid weather here, 80 degrees in the shade and it's a wonderful fruit year. Best regards to all. Let me know how much the subscription is. Will send check. E. Goodwin ------------------- No, Fred Carter did not run when 6 policemen came in on that party the other night. Fred was found on the sidewalk because he happened to be passing. He was not a member of the party and the cops were not looking for him this time. UNCLE JULIE On EXPEDIENCE Brother, has it ever occurred to you that the RIGHT thing done at the WRONG time can do as much harm or will do no more good than if the act itself were wrong? Have you ever doodaddled yourself with the question of what the results of an act of yours would be if it were performed at a time not propitious, when it is apt to defeat its own purposes and lose the chance of ever flowering? Uncle Julie is sure you have. All of us see the answer to the question sooner or later and recognize the truth of the uselessness of good deeds done at bad times. Read your histories. Study your great men. Burke, the great Irish conciliator, looked the above truth in the face when he electrified the English parliament during the last days of the chaos which preceded the Revolution. The wizard of Tuskegee, Booker Washington, also saw it. Do your stuff, it says, but do it at the RIPE time, "Strike while the iron is hot." ---------------------- RICHARD A.
