gcnce the mayor OF Kansas City was
very much under the influence of liq-
nor. The newspaper men We're feeling
jovial. but they were still able TO walk
around. Ii finally became necessary to
do something for the mayor. Seeing n
fruit wagon pass, one Of the newspaper
men ran ont and hailed the driver.
When he drew up to the curb, he was
asked whether or not he wanted to
make s.. lie replied that he most GER
tainly did.
II was then explained to him that

lis wagon. face toward the sky, and
tlut lie must drive through all the busi-
ness streets of the town and then take
tie maa hor.r.
Not Knowing who his passenger WINS

JOKE was carried out to the letter.
Through tie streets of Kansas City the
mayor of the town. stretched out on an
open wagon asleep. was driven. and
there was placard that announced the
cause of the strange plight fastened
on the back Of the wagon. The mayor
was not e.elected.-Chlcago Chronicle.

passed away as the result of a sud-
den relapse. Mr.. Doane died on his
siXty-seventh birthday anniversary.
Mr.. Doane was president of the
Merchants Loan and Trust company
for IA years, when he was succeeded
by Orson Smith, the present head of

disposed of most of his Chicago real
