A sense of values usually depends largely on circ*mstances. An Eskimo would rather have a fermented seal carcass than a dinner at Maxims.
A Bushman would prefer a tiger tooth to a fjjVe carat diamond. And a beat- iljck would rather be "in" than normal, man. As I said, my Qpfn was trivial compared to my loss, but I was happy. Occasionally a friend of mine in Houston invites me up to play golf with some other friends of his. As is customary on 99.9999 per cent of all golf matches, there is a small wager on the match.
The wager isn't large enough to affect any great economic trend so no one actually faces financial chaos win, lose or draw. Of course I'm normal and would myeft rather be a poor winner than a good loser. We usually play with a couple of his cronies, who play about the same spied we do but they have an unusual ability to play the last hole well. When we come to the 18th and last hole, as is the custom of 99.9999 per cent of all golfers, the loser at that point 4s given an opportunity to break even by doubling the amount of the wager on the last hole. Technically this fits called the As I said our opponents have a talent for playing this last hole and my friend and I usually wind up on the debit side of the ledger Instead of the credit.
I would rather win that last hole from these experts than have all of the tea in Indonesia; We played last week and sure enough when we came to the T8th hole my friend and I were down on several negotiated contracts made during the progress of the round. We "pressed" and the good fairy not only had her hand on my shoulder but carried my ball right up and dropped it in the hole for a win. In fact as it turned out, we showed a slight gain instead of a much larger loss. The small remuneration was nothing compared to the satisfaction of accomplishment. When I got ready to take my leave of their company, I was unable to locate my automobile, which had been left in the parking lot.
In fact it had been stolen while we were at play. It might strange but I was happier over winning that last hole than sad about losing my automobile. Oh, yes, another small item. The Houston police found my automobile the following day in good condition. That was nice but I'm still thinking about that 18th hole.
A NOW I know why there are so many "peroxide It isn't for the purpose of bleaching hair but used rather for a medicinal purpose. For years I've had dandruff with a flaky itchy scalp. I tried all of the known cures for the irritable situation, with only slight success. The other night, while I was scratching my head, I got to wondering what hydrogen-peroxide would do for it. Since you can't bleach.plain white hair, I had no worries of becoming a peroxide blonde.
That was just a few days ago and I hope the condition lasts forever, or at least as long as I am alive and kicking.

The officers recognized the two men as ex-convicts and took the three to the police station where the car was searched. "The car had two pistols in the glove compartment," said Police Chief H. G.
Whitmire, "and about a hundred various automobile keys, burglary equipment including hammers, files, saws, drills, masking tape," batteries, wires, some credit cards which didn't belong to them, and some barbiturates. Use Credit Card The La Marque police imjrjaedi- ately went to work with other law agencies and Tuesday morning it was learned that one of the credit cards had been 'taken from an automobile in Mindeh, and that more than $B00 in charges had been registered against it. They also had two sets of automobile licenses in their car, one from Texas and one from Louisiana. The Texas tags were identified as having been taken from a stolen automobile last year.
