As a supplement for Yeoman Brill, I have been invited to corral letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, et cetra and formulate them so they will fabricate this week's column, Hence, I find my self poised over the typewriter with word baited fingers about to race (did I say race or erase) over the key-board to bring to the readers of this column a few seeds of humor which, I pray, may blossom into a smile or perhaps a laugh. If this should occur to but one reader, my journalistic effort will not be in vain.

Here is one for you Radar students for mental relaxation:

A duel was fought in Texas by Alexander Shott and John E. Nott. Nott was better to be Shott, than Nott. There was shot and Shott was not. In the case it is a rumor that Nott was not Shott, but Shott a vows that he was not, which proves either that the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot or that Nott was that not with standing. It may be made to appear on trial that the shot Shott shot shot Nott or, as accidents with firearms are frequent, it may be possible that the shot Shott shot shot himself, when the whole affair would resolve itself into the original element and Shott would be shot and Nott would be not. I think that the shot Shott that shot, not Shott, but Nott. Anyway, it is difficult to tell who was shot. In short either Shott or Nott fired their thirty-thirty like sixty.
