we'll as personally. He has a bust of Mr.
Simpsons foot at his place, and cheerfully
answers all questions regarding the great
man.
Mr.. Simpson is the humorous feature OF
the new and powerful movement which
seems to create general mirth, but there is a
power and a principle behind it all to which
1t will be profitable to pay attention. 1t
may not win this time nor next time, but
when it does win the professional politician
will do we'll to get into his cyclone cellar
and spread his umbrella.
Artist Lederer Gets q Pointer.
Charles Lederer, Chicago, writes: ''I am
an artist, and have very little exercise
indeed. What would you advise? Do you
favor bowling? Did you ever bowl any?"
Yes, Charles, / have bowled in the happy
past. 1 favor it. Bowling builds up a
person real we'll. You will find good
bowling club near the Germania. on the
Northside, where lot of talented cusses
90 for to bowl. I removed nv dressing
sacque and bowled there one evening quite
while. The City Librarian was present.
He asked me to bowl. 1 had never before
bowled. At the end of long, straight,
convex alley stood several wooden pins,
which it is the object of the player to knock
over by means of large, heavy balls also
made of wood. If the player can at the
same time also mutilate small mulatto boy
who sets up the pins much mirth is added
to the game. l went there needing exercise,
and got so much of it that l have not needed
any at all ever since. did not knock over
any pins, but got the exercise.
Had Put Up Job on Him.
A few days aiterward l met the hoary-
headed librarian on the street. He said,
81 must tell you that we had a job put up
on you at the bowling club the other
night"
"Ahr' said L cheerily. "What was it?"
"Well, we arranged string in front Of
the pins so that we could throw your ball off
the track every time, and thus we could
prevent your getting a single pin even by
accident. But" he added, with a ire
mendous sigh that was almost sob, sit was
not much of a success"
"Why?'
"Why? Why because your ball never
got to the string
Yet regard bowling as heathful exer-
else, and far superior to the mutilaton of
scroll saw brackets and members OF the fam
lily by means of Indian clubs. 1 have also
tried dumb bells. A very large one is now
holding my door shut as L write these lines.
But l was benefited more by the game of
bowls, think, than by any other game l
ever played. Tiddledewinks, of course, will
always have its devotees.
Oatmeal and TiddIedewinks
will annually carry off their thousands just
as they have always done, but bowling is
more preferable, think. 1 used to have a
health lit, but our relations became strained
in two places, so I swapped it for 2-year-
old steer. whose tail it WAS my blessed privi-
lege to twist at early dawn each gladstone
morn for six weeks, and together we would
go around the straw pile at a high rate Of
speed. l was, never thrown among
brighter or piquant steer during my public
life.
Exercise is a great boon. 1t keeps 4 great
many people out OF mischief, and can
hardly do any harm if not carried to excess.
l have received great benefit myself from
moderate exercise taken from time to time
on a pasreboard annual railroad pass about
the size OF visiting earl. 1t WAS highly
beneficial. L like it yet, old as 1 am.
