A BOOMERANG JOSH
How DR.. Rishmiller Unwittingly
Got the Laugh on His Jocular
Friends.
Their Bogus Note Requesting Hi.
Professional Attendance at Mich
igan Game Went

4 4
The twenty-odd thousand fans at
the Michigan Minnesota football
game Saturday afternoon were not a
little mystified and amazed when, just
before the beginning Of the struggle,
they saw a dignified and professional
looking person, wearing a silk hat,
frock coat and the Michigan colors,
leave the Minnesota side OF the field
and march solemnly across the grid
iron to the Michigan team, among
whose members he calmly seated
himself on his heels.
The dignifed and professional
looking person was none other than
DR.. John H. Rishmiller of the Pills
bury building and the Berkeley hotel
and he was there. by request, to fur
nish his professional services to such
of the maize and blue warriors as de-
manded them. For DR.. Rishmtller is
an alumnus Of Michigan.
His coming and being and going
upon Northrop field are not without
interest to his many friends and ac-
quaintances; and to the thousands
who wondered what that little black
case he packed with him was for and
why, upon the occasion Of each in
jury to a Michigan man, he arose,
drew off one glove, waited a moment
in expectation, drew on the glove and
resumed his heels once more. It
seemed as If the little man in the gray
sweater was somehow renching on
the professional-looking mans pre-
serves for the former attended to all
injured wolverines.
For the benefit Of the uninitiated, a.
full explanation of DR.. Rishmillers'
presence on the field of glory has been
furnished by his friends at the Berk-
eley.
In spirit of jest various of these
friends conceived the idea of buncoing
the physician out of his two dollar
and-a-half ticket to the game. DR..
Rishmiller being a most enthusiastic
Michigan man. So they sent him a
note reading something like this:
Dear Doctor-Learning that you are a
prominent member of the Michigan alum
nj in Minneapolis and requiring the pres
ence of a professional man Of standing on
the field am persuaded to request your
professional services at the game Satur-
day afternoon. Church.
The note did not say who Church
was but the physician promptly sold
his ticket and the colony at the Berk-
eley enjoyed visions of his discomfort
when he would be met at Northrop
field gate with cold denial.
But the note went" and for four
/ hours Saturday afternoon DR.. Rish-
miller unwittingly had the laugh on
| the conspirators while the mob at the
game marveled at the perfection OF
arrangements made by the Michigan
manager for the protection Of his
men.
Now, DR.. Rishmiller is looking for
the man who wrote the note.

A MERITED SUCCESS.
Rea Bros Cascarin Sold Everywhe,
in the Northwest

Rea Bros Cascarin Sold Everywhere
in the Northwest.
Four years ago Rea Bros, specialists
and manufacturing pharmacists of
Minneapolis, put on the market a tonic
laxative, which they called Rea Bros.
Cascarin. The success Of this medicine
has been phenomenal, and to-day it
enjoys a sale that equals many Of the
more widely advertised articles Of its
kind, and is gaining every day.
The strong hold this remedy has Sc
cured is based entirely upon unusual
merit. The properties are purely vege-
table and prove beneficial in all trou-
bles of the stomach and liver. The
mild character Of the remedy allows
it's everyday use and many attest that
they enjoy continued health and pre-
vent colds and sickness by SO doing.
Rea Bros. are also sole owners and
manufacturers of manyother excellent
remedies.

Six Serious Faults Often Found
In Railroad Letters "A Com
mcrcial Letter Tomorrow.

There is an idea among business
men that the shortest form is the,
best. And it Is the best when it is
sufficient. The trouble is that it is
carried to an extreme. It results in
elliptical phrases, clipped expressions,
and finally in complete obscurity. If
the reader is to get the meaning in
the shortest possible time, enough
words must be used to give the COM
plete impression without distracttng
the attention and causing any pause,
however momentary, to think what
the meaning must be.
