Occult Calculations…
Dr. Carter was accustomed to spending the evenings
explaining the day’s notes or making a more intense study of a curious plant he
had discovered growing in the desert.
This evening the spell of the Orient was upon him. His thoughts drifted back – back to his home
and Old Northwestern. Enwrapped in
deliberation as to the occult powers the plant was purported to possess he did
not realize that he had betrayed himself to Ajhura,
his Oriental companion. He started from
his reverie by a voice urging him to test its magic.
“For diversity sake,” consented Dr. Carter.
The dark turbaned native seated himself crosslegged. Quickly drew a circle and in its center
placed the plant and began to murmer in his native
tongue a prayer. Slowly with
determination in every feature Ajhura began to prove
the powers of the strange plant. Slowly,
limping across the scene came Clare Sprague. He was returning from The Volsted
Rebellion. He had fought and won
decoration. Theatre lights
glistened. Imagine Lance Eubanks
in a leading part. There he was for sure
– an usher. The panorama quickly spread
before them. L. A. Ward had won
fame as originator of “The Ward School of Alibis” – invaluable to students and
criminals. Bruce Austin was
running his wife for Congress. She was
such a success at introducing bills into the House. Geo. Clark is directing a city – his
beat is on Main street. Ruie
Sense has at last mastered chemistry – she has the acids eating out of her
hands. “Doc” Siebert his invented golf ball which sings, “Here I
am.” Fielden
Creech after long years of effort has perfected a lip
rouge which won’t kiss off. Dorothy Cunninham is acting as prover. Wilbert Ingles is conducting a most
absorbing study of the origin of blotting paper. Clarkson Parson is touring lots (cow
lots) painting hen coops so the chickens won’t eat the grain out of the wood. Glenn
Coucher is figuring out whether eggs break when
the market falls. Arrietta Young has
become a great designer as a tattoo artist.
Mary Jane Wyatt is still creating scenes. Her latest, “My Alarm Clock has Short Legs But It Sure Can Make Good Time,” is the hit of the
season. Amy Martin has been
taking dancing lessons by correspondence.
The Adams Sisters decided to become musicians – they discovered
they had drums in their ears. Oliver
Ingles is addressing people all over the world he is mailing clerk at
Montgomery Ward’s. D. Edna Kerst Chamberlain has revealed to the suspecting public
that the reason Cupid wears so few clothes is because he is such a warm
baby. Stella Ruth Myers has
discovered a soap that makes you smart. Ula Finch Curtis is becoming familiar with
Browning – she has been in the baking business ever since she left
Northwestern. John Buckles is
doing detective work – he always was a good track man. Chas. Richey discovered there are no
mad people in Arabia. Irene Hackett is plugging away – she
is with the Bell Telephone Co. Paul
Albright turned out to be a corker, he is with a
T.N.T. plant. Butch Bennett is still an unhappy medium – too light for
heavy work and too heavy for light work.
Florence Eichman believes in evolution
because we were all little bears when born, John McKinley re-writes
traveling mens; jokes for The Ladies Home
Companion. Inez Staker
invented a porcelain nest egg that can’t be beaten. Wick Beckham has a patent pending on
bell bottom pants that ring when his wife goes thru them. Hazel Stoneburner
is sueing for a divorce on any grounds where her
husband isn’t allowed. Whit Alexander
is in a glue factory – he’s all stuck up.
Dewey Mosshart has at last sunk a cake
of Ivory soap. Bill Huneke is still intending to be a lawyer and spends
long hours on the courts. Lewis Huff
is clipping coupons – he will soon have enough to get a tube of shaving
cream. Muriel Stewart has
perfected a lead pencil designed to do away with ink spots. Ruth McCormick is screening movies to
remove the dirt. Dick Evans has
just lost a fortune – an heiress turned him down. Tom Pruett is the
proud father of a prodigy – the child played on the lineoleum
at one and a half years. Clayton Wortham expects to pass the finals this year at N.S.T.
C. as they are still asking the same questions.
Francis West is writing (home) for money. Neva Sartin
has The Alexander Teachers Agency at Boise,
Idaho and spends her time
sentencing teachers to jobs. Helen Pangburn is looking the world over for a joke with two
meanings – both decent. Ruby Isbell
announces that all cavemen aren’t minors.
Marvin Burkett is an orchestra director – he meets all the trains
and directs the musicians to the hotel where he works. Willa Mae Townes
is attempting to make currency more adhesive before it becomes more elastic. Gladys Cravens recently espoused
nobility – she took the count. Glenn
Stoner still shocks people – he turns on the current at the penetentiary.
Dr. Carter had listened intently. The powers of the plant had been proven
beyond the least doubt. He at last had
discovered a joy for humanity!
When just then all the stars fell from the heavens – even
‘ere the prophecy was completed. The
plant sprang to its feet and disappeared in the alluring distance.
