| A rubber stamp man was IN town one
day this week, says The Lane Leader, and
now some OF our citizens order their en-
velopes returned to ''LaNe, Franklin co,
kAuSAs."
The only mistake the travelling men
made was to make their denunciation OF
| Otis so early. The Alliance will not NOM
mate him and give the drummers chance
to get at him.
Buffalo Jones has hard time with his
butfaloes. They are always turning up in
| unexpected places and at unexpected
times. Their latest maneuver is to pull
the Atchison street cars.

The report that Congressman Clover is
living at rapid rate in Washington prob
ably emanated from the fact that while
he is usually straight during his waking
hours, he is most always fast asleep.
If Jerry Simpson is to 90 on the lecture
platform, Congressman Ben Glover, who
slept on when the vote on free silver was
taken, should go On the stage. He could
make ten strike as Rip Van Wrinkle.

Buffalo Jones' herd of animals corraled at
Omaha, and doesn't know what to do with
them, unless he can bring them into serv-
ice of this nature. Mr.. Smith thinks the
buffaloes would be such a novelty that
people would pack the cars at a nickle
apiece to see them work. He says the
animals can be easily trained to haul the
street cars, and all he asks for their serv-
ices is their board. DR.. Cnalliss will
probably accept the proposition.

session of all national conventions in
western cities is an acknowledgement of
political supremacy. Dominion has been
reluctantly relinquished, but we shall
have no more superclIious and self-com
placent assumptions of patroniZing supe
riority over the wild and woolly west"

and the arrow sped away-Well, you see /
thought had my audience thrilled, but l
didn't"
You didn't, them"
'No, sir. A tall old man in the back
seat got up while that arrow was still
speeding through the air and insisted on
knowing whether the apple on the young
mans head was an Early Rose or a
Maiden Blush"
