Three.Minute Liver Cure.

There's a fellow in st. Louis who
cures livers in thr &c minutes. His
name is G. W. Kahles. He tells a
different story, each week, entirely in
pictures, about a well-meaning but
misguided policeman, named "Clar-
ence, the Cop"
The great St. Louis Sunday Post
Dispatch prints these.
If there is anything in laughter cur
ing liver trouble, one OF Kahles' series
ought to cure in about three minutes.

We learn that Joseph J. Hoeken,

We don't know much about mules,

confess to a prejudice In favor Of the
Southeast Missouri mule. So far as

MALLEY MONKEYS KIH REFER.
ENDUM FALLACiES.

President Malley, Of the Board Of
Election commissioners. has seen an
opportunity to get himself before the
public in delivering II simple decision
In regard 10 the so-called referendum
petition, and. needless to say. seeing 1t,
he has seized upon II.
but Judging from President Malley's
profound exposition ~ the law, neither
that wIseacrc nor the two stoughten
bottles who sit rs his colleagues have
any very clear ideas us 20 what this
much discussed referendum Is 10 be
about: what will be the exact form Of

or what good In the way Of an expires

plish anyway.
The esteemed Chicago American,
which has mad" It's own peculiar prop,

What ordinance Is referred TO in this

So far a. we know, there isn't any

gone.
IL would therefore seem 10 The
Eagle that those who are shouting so
loudly for the referendum before the
passage Of the ordinance" are little
premature, or, possibly, having become
confused in terms, are thinking Of the
Initiative" which Is a very different

Whether those parties are confused
