MAYOR" HAD a DAY OFF.
mayor" Dowd of Shoe Fly Village had
"a night off last evening. for his office was
closed 10 callers, and not even the police
would be entertained.
When the mayor takes a day off
something must happen 10 mark the
event, and as he is a good Judge of
what Is good for the stomach's sake. he
proceeded to see that his stomach was
well cared for, so when he returned to his
mansion I'm the evening. Mayor John
didn't care for President Roosevelt. Gov
crnor Garvin, Captain Rowe, or anyone
else.
AS usual when he takes a day off. he
wants just a little bit of fight to wind
mp with and when he cannot find anyone
he pitches into his consort. Usually
Mrs Dowd does not object to a little

man Feeney heard her, but when That
officer reached tho house Sister Dowd
/ had succeeded I'm getting tho mayor out
/ of the house. and he was soon over the
! hill and out of sight, probably on his way
/ to a society on the East Side. who have
got the mayor and his wife out OF trouble
more than once.
