An up town family who are devoted
readers Of the ARGUS, have had more OF

tomato. Finally a Hot Tomsle Society
mas been formed within the family circle
and every evening a session is held at the
supper table. A penalty of one cent is

ion, it being kept going all the time
Unless some new rules are adopted the
society will probably not survive.
