Nose Carpenters attempted sef-vindication in
the "Letterman matter" in last weeks issue.
l would say to Nose Carpenter that he has
made another mistake when he refers to RIP
as Hercules" Go and fight rip" but let
Hercules" alone, for when you aim your shafts
at me you have struck the wrong hen roost and
won't need one of Sam McCoole's iine-tooth
combs for your blond curls when you are through
I have had nothing to do with this matter what
ever. let family affairs fight family affairs and
you have mistaken some of them for me- or pur-
posely tramped on my toes, and you know what
that means. 1 am never ashamed of my ancest-
raj namesake.
Now, Mr.. Nose Carpenter you have dished up
lot of hash in this matter and 1t has evidently
soured your stomach. The natural conse-
quence is you have squealed- something for which
you are notorious Yes, notoriety paes its face
when you are set up as squealer or boaster.
You may have as many friends as l have, but
they were among the missing the morning after
the election, when you ran for commissioner,
and you went down the street like Thanksgiv-
ing gobbler making everything red, until you
ran up against something small in boots. Then
the color changed, but your old ways don't
change, Nose, they will be with you until the
resurrection morning, and the apple boughs will
blossom good many times before that day.
have never stopped to protect a felon, either
by voice or pen and am sorry that the accom-
plished Nose Carpenter with home circle as
bright as his, should draw his sword in such 8.
cause and then suueal.

The national reputation of Mrs. Hoffman as a

Mrs. Hoffman spoke for nearly two hours with
great eloquence and fervor, and those who have

the finest efforts of her life. The rich melody of
her strong voice, the deep pathos If her pleading,
combined with her handsome, motherly face
