- FAST! Ã When thieves broke into his place six
times and took $1650 worth of tools, Gene
Wandel of Kansas City mounted a shotgun
loaded in a vise, loaded it with a blank and
hooked the trigger to a window. Twice the
arrangement scared off would-be thieves. But
in the third attempt the intruders not only
took $50 worth of tools but the shotgun,
leaving behind this note in the vise: "Ha, ha
you missed."

à Comedian Victor Moore tells about the
time he was invited to a deer hunt. The
first morning out he became separated from
the rest of the party. Several hours later he
staggered into camp, worried.
"Have all the others returned?" he asked.
"Yes, they've come back," he was told.
"In that case," said Moore, sighing with
relief, "I've shot a deer."

à This is the story they tell in the nation's
capital about President Teddy Roosevelt.
[t seems he had a habit of toting a gun
about with him wherever he went. One day
ifter a horseback ride he dashed into the
White House, changed into formal attire
ind dashed downstairs. As he reached the
front door someone tried to detain him.
"Mr. President," he began, "I'd like to . . ."
"Can't stop now," declared Teddy. "I'm
having dinner with the bishop!' Suddenly
he stopped short, clapped his hand on his
pockets and exclaimed, "Good heavens, I
forgot my gun!" * * *

he saw Mantle hit a homer on television

shelf behind the counter to fire. It struck
him in the shoulder.
