Kicker:
''Thanks-Mrs. DR.. Jones, of Sitting
Bull avenue, will please accept our
thanks for an old-fashioned pumpkin
pie sent in the other evening. 1t tickled
our palate immensely, and we went to
bed the better Christian for her act of
kindness. By the way, the doctor is
working up a large practice in this
luck i'll saving patients. Her charges
are moderate, her medicines very
agreeable to the taste. and she never
presents a bill until six months after
the patient is able to lift 200 pounds.
We bank on Doc Jones in preference to
all OtherS.''
'Good Boys.-Last week we had an
article advising that Bloody Bill jack
son and Terrible Tom Andrews be taken
in charge by the vigilance committee
for their numerous crimes. Yesterday
these gentlemen made US personal
call, and we must say we were sur
prised. When they entered the door
we jumped for our war club, suppoSing
they had come to attack us, but both re-
moved their hats, presented us with a
bouquet OF beautiful wild flowers and
then subscribed for the Kicker and paid
year in advance. After that cigars
were brought out and we had talk.
1t did not take over a quarter of an hour
to find that we had been doing two
gentlemen great injustice. Neither of
them has ever shot, stabbed or dubbed
person except in Self-defense, and
both are SONS of old families in the East
and graduated from Yale
''The Kicker desires to apologize. We
beg pardon. We shall endeavor to make
such amends by urging these two gen.
tlemen to stand as candidates for the
state senate, and if nominated the Kick
er will do its best to elect them. Au
revoir, gents. Drop in and see us
again"
"a Noble Citizen.-On several diff
ferent occasions we have urged that
Jack Crosby, proprietor of the Blue
Front saloon, and better known to our
lone tree behind the court house and
hauled up to limb. We have given
the names of eleven men who have been
robbed and brutally beaten in his place,
or who so stated to us, and we have in
cidentally referred to Jack as a train
robber, burglar, horse thief and incen-
diary.
"Mr. Crosby dropped ID to see US last
Saturday. He did not come with a
bludgeOn or revolver, but as friend
and a gentleman. He also brought
three bottles of rare old Hennessey, for
which he will accept our thanks. MI.
Crosby convinced us that we were en-
tirely mistaken in our estimate of him.
He is no rough or tough. On the con-
trary, he was educated for the ministry
and his nature is peaceful. He has
never struck man except in self
defense, and has been basely maligned
by rivals in business. Before cOnclud-
ing his very pleasant call he subscribed
for two copies of the Kicker, and we
suggest that it would be good idea to
make him sheriff next term"
''An Angel in Town-Wednesday
afternoon last, as we had the Office
towel in the back yard and were trying
to soften it up bit with a sled stake,
Mrs. Judge Wharton made her appear
ance in the Office and sweetly exclaimed:
'Peek-a-boo! 1 see you hiding there!'
She had come to invite US to select
soiree at her mansion the following
evening. Only the leading people of
the city were there, and it was an Occa-
sion long to be remembered. There
were music, dancing and cards, and we
iSOioSo OtS VI Oo. pOOiio' n Low NOOho
ago the Kicker had occasion to observe
that Judge Wharton was an old bum
drunkard, and no more fit for the bench
than hOd is for heaven. At the same
time we said Mrs. Judge used to be in a
waiter-girl saloon in st. Louis, and that
she could not get into good society here.
We have discovered that we have done
worthy couple gross injustice, and
now wish to publicly apologize. The
judge is not only temperance man to
the core, but one of the best authorities
on legal jurisprudence in the country.
His wife is the daughter of New York
millionaire, and was never in st. Louis
in her life. The judge has subscribed
for the Kicker, and we hope this apol-
ogy, coming as it does from the cart,
may set the estimable couple right in
public estimation"
