Dánarfregn
Þann 3. ágúst, 1963, lczt að
heimili sín að Lundar, Man.,
Sigþrúður Magnússon, 97 ára
að aldri. Hún var fædd 13. júní,
1866, á Ketilsstöðum í Jökulsár-
hlíð í Norður Múlasýslu. Sig-
þrúður var ekkja Ólafs Magnús
sonar sem er dáinn fyrir nokkr-
um árum. Hana lifa tvær dæt-
ur, Guðrún, í Winnipeg, og
Solveig Sigrún í Chicago, og
mörg barnabörn sem syrgja
ömmu sína.
Sigþrúður var jarðsungin frá
lútersku kirkjunni á Lundar, 5.
ágúst af sóknarpresti safnaðar-
ins, Pastor Grant.
Illessuð sé minning hennar.
Skipreika sjómann rak upp
á eyðieyju. flann var búinn
að dvelja þar í níu ár, þegar
hann sá, hvar stór áma rak
að landi og á henni sat ung
og lagleg stúlka. Hún stökk í
land og hrópaði. „Hvað ertu
búinn að vera hér lengi?“
„Níu ár,“ svaraði sjómað-
urinn.
„Drottinn minn dýri“, sagði
stúlkan. Þá líeld ég þér sé
nýnæmi að fá mig hingað.
„Þú ætlar þó aldrei að segja
mér, að það sé bjór í tunn-
unni“, hrópaði sjómaðurinn
ofsa glaður.

Kennslukonan var að skýra
fyrir börnunum mismuninn á
réttu og röngu: „Sjáið nú til
krakkar. Ég sting hendinni í
vasa manns og tek vasabók
hans. „Hvað er ég þá?“
„Konan hans, hrópaði bekk-
urinn í kór.“
Wallace Beery
. (f. 1889) bandasíkur kvik-
myndaleikari.
Wallace Beery var dag
nokkurn að aka bíl sínum
skammt fyrir utan San Fran-
cisco. Óku þeir þá hvor á ann-
an hann og Skoti nokkur,
Maclntosh að nafni. Bílarnir
skemmdust mikið, en hvorug-
an bílstjórann sakaði. Meðan
þeir biðu eftir því að lögregl-
an kæmi til þess að taka af
þeim skýrslu, þreif Wallace
Beery stærðar viskípela upp
úr vasa sínum og rétti Skot-
anum.
— Fáið yður nú einn góðan,
sagði hannö — Við verðum að
halda upp á það, að við slupp-
um lifandi.
Skotinn fékk sér drjúgan
sopa úr pelanum og rétti hann
svo að eigandanum. Beery
stakk honum í vasann.
— Hvað er þetta? spurði
Skotinn undrandi. — Ætlið
þér ekki líka að fá yður einn?
— Jú, anzaði Beery, en ekki
fyrr en eftií plóðprufuna.
Bernard Shaw (1856-1950),
skáldið heimsfræga, var hor-
aður og renglulegur. Eitt sinn
í veizlu var G. K. Chesterton,
sem var mjög feitur, að stríða
Shaw.
— Er maður lítur á yður,
sagði Chesterton hlæjandi, þá
er engu líkara en hungursneyð
sé hér í Bretlandi.
— Líti maður á yður, anz-
aði Shaw, þá liggur næst að
halda, að þér eigið sök á
henni.
Bernard Shaw fékk boðs-
kort frá aðalsfrú nokkurri.
Þar stóð:
— Lady X mun vera heima
næsta fimmtudag milli fjög-
ur og sex.
Shaw sendi kortið til baka
og bætti á það:
— Það mun hr. Bernard
Shaw einnig verða.
