Us poor old maids have a hard
time. That "West End widOwsr
still persists in discussing the "sor-
ghum cake" question as though he
had never seen any. Honey, we are
somewhat stuck on the old man Of
West End and would love to have
him call around, as we are anxious
to hear the wag Of his tongue.
The Kansas City girl explains
that she did not kiss the man Hob
sen, but merely his "inagnificens
heroism." A kiss delivered IN that
manner might be very appropriate
to the ''magnificent heroism" of q
prize fighter, but the young lady 10
respectfully informed that the gs2
liant Lieutenant is not of the mouth
lighting class.
On Christmas day we noticed
great multitude Of people surging
along the highway in a southwest
ward direction. We hid our old
zulu in corn-shock and slipped
over to ask Luster Parker what is
meant. Luster said he didn't know,
but we'd kiss his jug a few times
and followup. We soon found out
that 'South Side" and "West End
were going to have big ball and
that invitations were being sent to
all parts.
