THE LONG-RANGE Bower,
THE LOLLYPALOOZER
AND THE LINE OF TALK
BY GEORGE ABE.
Copyright, 1902, by Robert Howard Russell)

odds and ends Of a Rummage
Sale. He heard her Ripping
Laugh and there was enough
Music in it to carry a whole
Season of Grand Opera. A
Friend who was with him said
that her name was Clarice. So
he told his Friend: "Any time
that you read about Clarice be-
ing engaged, start in to drag
the River"
When he heard that she had
gone to a Summer Hotel, he
trailed her and continued his
long-distance Worship. He was
afraid to get too near for fear
that he would curl up and have
a Spasm.
Who was he, a Legal Worm,
that he should dare to crave a
Word from those Rosebud Lips
or hope for a melting Glance
from those star-lit Lamps? AS
for executing a Clutch and
Swinging into the Slow and
Dreamy, that seemed only
vague and far-away Hope of
Paradise, and it was a Sin to
waste time on it.
The best he could hope for
was to send her a Box of long
stemmed Roses and then go and
let a Train run over him and
maybe she would condescend to
attend the Funeral. That, or
else he could save her life in a
Runaway and die with his Head
in her Lap. All he wanted was
a Romantic Finish that would
leave a Sad, sweet Memory be-
hind. He wanted a Guarantee
that she would think of him a
couple of times and he would
be satisfied to play Village Dog
and die any kind of a Death.
While in this desperate
Frame of Mind, he met Mr..
Buzzer, the moving GRAPHIC
phone and He-Vampire, some
times known as the Burned
Edge of the Crust of Society.
When the unspeakable Buzzer
said that he knew Clarice and
stood Aces and Fights, the
soulful Attorney wanted to
throttle him for he could not
believe that a real Diana would
trile with a blue Catfish.
However, he accepted the
Opportunity to hold Converse
with the Star of his Soul. Buz-
ger led him around the long
Veranda and at last he stood
in that radiant Presence.
"Sis, l want you to know a
Friend of mine," said the we'll
known Safe Blower and Social
Outcast known as Buzzer.
He stood enthralled for at
least one-twentieth of a Second.
Then Clarice got under way.
ooh Cricketsl / seen you at
the The-ayter one Night" she
said. 81 was there with Ollie
Pozozzle of Minneapolis. Me
and him came out just behind
you. Say, wuzn't that Grand
SHOW? I'm Just crazy about
that Mamie, Mamie, Amt it
shamie?' When did you land
here? Huh? Oh sure! This
is a small Joint all right, but
they stick you for everything.
Geel but I'm glad Mr.. Buzzer
come out. He's awful good
Company. Pm going out ridin'
tonight with He and a Friend
of his. Come alongl I'll stake
you to a Cir"
When they found the Senti-
mental Attorney in the Woods
an hour later, he was barking
like a Sea-Lion and butting his
Head against the Trees.

DAILY CHAT WITH l
GEORGIA EDITORS. !

Macon Telegraph: A suspicion is getting
abroad that I'm his imagination Mr. Query
editor of The Savannah News, but against
The Telegraph for governor.
Triton Gazette: Mr.. Estin may not be elected
governor of Georgia, but the open and manly
canvass he is making and the conservative con-
News has won the applause and appreciation
of the entire state.
Meldrim Guidon: This paper is not a sup
porter of Mr.. Query but it does not hesitate
to say that the recent attack made upon him
by the Telegraph has done more to help him
than anything which has occurred in the cam
paign.
Albany Herald: When Mr.. Stevens took
charge Of the state agricultural department it
had run down until the farmers Of the state
took no interest in 1t. and there was talk of
abolishing II. We hear no such talk that
now and the department is in close touch with
the farmers Mr.. Stevens administration has
been not only encouraging, but helpful to the
farmers on practical lines and they feel an in
administration has ever inspired

oughiy Informed as to the needs Of the state
and qualified in every way to make an ideal
governor, and should he be elected land The
Star thinks he Wild, Georgia will have
governor of whom she may justly be proud.
Dahlonega Nugget: Some of our correspon-
dents have been getting the candidates in the
wrong pew religiously speaking Mr.. Estill be-
longs to the Presbyterian church, Mr.. Guerry
is a Methodist and Mr.. Terrell is a Baptist.
Macon News: It is highly probable that Hon.
L. ]. Kilburn, of Macon, will be the next
president of the State Federation Of Labor. He
is now the president of the Macon federation.
but his popularity extends throughout the
state and he is being prominently mentioned for
the head of the order in the state
Savannah Morning News: The child labor
question is being discussed in all it's phases
by various interested parties, but how about
the child idleness question? "Child labor"
SAYS a contemporary, us not bad as child
idleness." 1t has reference to the children who
are permitted to run at will in the streets, to
in vacant lots and smoke cigarettes. shoot craps
and become initiated into the various vices.
Child idleness Is no doubt responsible for
far greater number Of ills and evils than can
be traced to child labor, as undesirable as
that is.
DELLA Dispatch: Private Estill was faithful
to his country in war, and he has been faith
full in peace. He is a sound business man and
his record has no flaws in il. Private John H.
Estill would make one of the best governors
Georgia has ever had and he's south Georgia's
candidate.

Gov. Gambler, Of Georgia. in speaking
of a possible Southern railway merger,
says that while railroad combinations are
very powerful, they cannot cope with the
state of Georgia. In view of what has
been accomplished heretofore by lobby
Holsters and legislative agents, Gov. Cand
Ter is certainly a courageous Optimist.-
st. Louis Post-Dispatch. The P.-D. should
not be too exacting; it evidently fails to
take into consideration the fact that the
governor felt that he really ought to say
something.

Der OF its voters may want done, but

large majority would be given in favor

clare that he has Shown himself a
statesman rather than the politician,
In that he has fearlessly outlined his
views, some of them inimical to the
interests of the capitalists, and has APP
pealed to the American public for its
judgment. Some go even farther than

means of controlling the trusts, the
