I knew the "real" reason: She had grown tired of me, leaving to find another greybeard to tutor; tossing me to the curb like yesterday's recyclables. As revenge, I would forego my exercise regiment; opting instead to sleep late, eat immense amounts of sugary snacks, gain lots of weight, and make her feel guilty. Don't mess with the male ego; it is a bewildering and convoluted place. However, fate interceded and my 14 to: Scholarship Committee, Red Bluff-Tehama County Branch, AAUW, P. LO.

Since none did, I continued uninterrupted, completing my routine well before the bakery opened. I then urged myself to kill time by actu- ally jogging, establishing short goals to avoid over- exertion. eyes popped open at 3:30 a.m., leaving me restless and incapable of returning to the embracing arms of Hypnos. Since I could not sleep, the question became, "what do I do at this hour?" I could exercise. The notion of huffing, puffing, bending, and squatting in the cold morning dampness – with no train- er guiding over and coercing me – struck me as being as appealing as bathing in ice water. Yet, in this pre- dawn mentally fuzzy state, activity sounded more attractive than star- ing at dark bedroom walls; so I ven- tured out doors, thinking, "I can walk to the bakery and get a donut." Strapping on walking shoes, iPod, and fleece vest, I set forth into the inhospitable chilly climes of dawn. Soon my fitter angels won out; I detoured to the park, and was indeed huffing, puffing, bending, and squatting at my usual workout locale. As uncoordinated as I felt, I walk that bounds the park, I thought, "That's easy" and set my sights for a tele- phone pole down the block. Pole by pole, house by house, I advanced until, flush with the ecstasy of accom- plishment but reaching my limit, I prepared to stop — until I saw a woman running ahead of me. Still smarting from being jilted by my trainer, a greater cause now made itself known. No longer about me seeking conditioning, this was now a battle between the sexes. For all that is good, noble, and fit in men, I must outrun this lone female jogger, demonstrating what I can do on my own so I could boast to my trainer, proving my independence. Summoning all the machismo inherent in a middle aged, slightly soft, non-runner on the verge of col- lapse, I nonchalantly accelerated next to her, acting as if this was a typical practice. Without breaking stride, she waved, "Hi." Upon reaching the side- Attempting to return the saluta- tion with a husky, deep-voiced, "Howdy," I was stunned when, instead of my usual manly, dulcet tones, all that exhaled from twixt my lips was a thick gasp- ing, airy, sickly wheeze; akin to a pipe organ blasting with rotted bel- lows. Stunned (and prob- ably frightened), her eyes opened huge and she stopped dead in her tracks. Scott Q. Marcus Humiliated beyond belief, I accelerated with the last remaining tidbits of energy I possessed, disappearing behind a tree and collapsing in the grass, where I lie until I had enough strength to crawl to the bakery and claim my donut.

Mrs. Nellie Seeley of Chico was held to the Supe- rior Court on two charges of bootlegging at the rodeo near Vina last week as the result of a preliminary hear- ing before Justice of the Peace E. R. Lennon yesterday afternoon. One witness for the prosecution testified he bought three drinks of moonshine liquor at different times from her, as well as a pint bottle of jackass brandy. Another witness corroborated this evidence. — May 4, 1922 Mrs. Seeley Held On Two Charges Of Bootlegging contributions have enabled the District to purchase granite markers to identify the babies that may have had a tempo- rary marker or none at all.
