week, Win unlS paper anu our Vdiueu
weekly contemporary. The observing
ones may have noticed the absence of
a something In these publications,
which, though perhaps difficult to ex-
actly define, is nevertheless very
striking. To clear up the mystery,
and also to rescue the reputation of
two distinguished disciples Of III. Gree
ley, it should be here made known
that the editors of this trio OF public
opinion moulders have been taking a
little vacation this week, leaving
their respective papers to be conduct
ed according to the devils ideas of do
ing things. That's all.
The Stocton News editor says
he Is sick and tired of those wedding
descriptions which always have the
groom clothed In conventional black"
"EveIy day the writer lives" says the
editor, che devotes short space of
time rejoicing over the fact that he
was not married In conventional
black He wore suit Of citizens
clothes, for which he paid $l5 $3.50
cash and an advertising account for
$3.50. This may be considered by
many as making rather cheap start,
but 1t serves now to relieve ussof ever
having been enrolled in what the an
tediluvian edition Of mankind des.
cribes as the conventional black"

trying for quite while to quit, es-
chew, abandon and renounce all allie

dence in Chanute, has hied himself to
the Lone Star State, where, in rustic
retreat along the banks of the turbu-
lent Brazos, he hopes to find immunity
from the fetid oder of the paste pot
and contact with the clammy office
towel.
