FLoUNpEnIkG JEkKEns-No reporter &C
| II ally knows what real trouble is until he a .
tempts to Jenkenize q ball. In large cities
! the man who notes the trend of fashionable
| failure of himself in the commercial depart
ment and is in some way related to the pro-
prietor. When he is too slow for a folder,
too high toned for carrier, too clamsey as
press cleaner and too lazy for an office boy,
he is placed on the staff as "social gossip
reporter-that is if he has certain qualihca-
tons. The office swallow tail must fit him to
nicely and he must be able to wear q pair of
lavender kids for seven successive ''events"
and get his white vest washed at least once
month on 50 week. If his accomplishments
drift in the direction of enabling him to Sc
cure Monaghan labor for nothing he is all the
more desirable. The APPEAL is not able, on
account of good many subscribers being de-
linquent, to keep Jenkens constantly en-
ployed, and the regular reporter was obliged
to put himself in harness Friday night
Being his first attempt at fashionable htera-
ture he naturally foundered about like a bull
frog at Reform Club concert, and batchered
the job badly. Since then the APPEAL Office
has been the stamping ground Of lnfuriated
women defending the cause of their husbands,
brothers and sweethearts, and who were dis
pleased with the way their toilet had been
treated. Capt. Lyons assured the reporter
that he wore cardinal red stockings instead OF
yellow Ballbriggans. He didn't care so much
for Carson, but was afraid the report might get
back East At least a dozen ladies called to
take exceptions to the statement that Mr..
Mars breath was scented with cubibs, they
all agreed that nothing common as
vulgar cubib had ever odorized the breath of
the person who was by all odds the finest
dancer who ever crooked knee III Carson.
Buck Zabriske swears he wasn't at the ball
at all, and the statement that his eyebrows
were dyed is an unwarraatahle invasion into
the sanctity of the toilet only possible
upon badly regulated newspaper like the
APPEAL.
Girls Batterman came in and thrashed the
reporter four times in one afternoon, and
chewed his ear off to convince him that his
teeth were not false. A full set Of apologies
are hereby made with vuleanized rubber
backing.
T. Coffin, E. A. Allen, Sam King and Z,
N. Hunt came Ia and stopped their susserip- |
tions because their toilets were not described.
Col Davies assures that he wore no sus
penders at all, much less pink ones on the !
occasion specified.
The temporary Jsnksns of the APPEAL has
disposed of his claw hammer to a |
syndicate of pawnbroker for So and foreswears
