Scandal, from Hennessey Kicker: A
young man, who, by the way, is a well
known dry goods clerk in one of the lead
ing stores in this city, took advantage
of the other evenings beautiful weather
to take buggy ride. He didn't go riding
just because he was fond of outdoor eX-
eTcise. or anything OF that sort. He went
because he thought he could get GER
tain young lady to go with him. but he
didn't. That afternoon he sent the young
woman a note asking her to meet him at
a certain place. He explained in the note
that just before approaching the meeting
place he would whistle Yankee Doodle. ="
The young woman told her hunsband
about the note and when the man in the
buggy drove up whistling the old familiar
tune he encountered a man instead of
woman. The man in the buggy was
smooth enough to get away by whipping
up his team, and trouble was thereby
avoided, but the matter has not yet been
settled, so IL is said.
