THE OFFICE SOY WANTS TO KNOW

THE OFFICE BOY WANTS TO KNOW
Whatyou 'rehangingbackfor?
8. II you're ashamed to do the right
thing?
If you don't know very well that the
right thing is to pay that poll tax right
now?
| Whether you're going to put off do
ing right until you get left?
II it mightn't have been good thing
after all to have Vnlgarian Ward aman
at the head of the boil weevil conven-
| ton?
ON the principle that, if it's effect
i've to set thief to catch thief, it
might be as much so to set one pest
| after another?
Why the boil weevil should not be
regarded as q scholar and a gentle
man alongside of Vardaman?
II the people Of Mississippi wouldn Il
do well to get rid Of the gubernatorial
insect first and take chances with the
cotton bug?
Il Father Harding's temporal pros
poets haven't improved since his
friends helped him lay something by
for rainy day?
II the good father didn't think he'd
have to raise the umbrella to protect
himself?
l
Ii he wasn't in danger of being del
uged with the praise the major and
his delegation showered upon him?
| # Ferdinand didn't think he was in
the last ditch when the buggy upset?
!! # his friends are only glad he es-
capped with slight injuries because he
is a member OF a big firm?
Whether it's TO be supposed they
wouldn't have cared how badly he was
hurt If he hadn't belonged to the firm?
How much of real friendship there
would be in solicitude gauged by the
| size of a man IS investments?
Il Ferdinand's s sure-enough friends,
like The Office Boy, for instance,
weren't sorry he got hart just because
he is their friend?
| and if they amt glad for the same
reason that he doesn't have to wear
any more court-plaster on his phys
fognomy?
II he wasn't good deal more stuck
up after the accident than usual
though not less genial and approach
able?
How you stand on the street fair
| question?
II fyou're one of the fellows that can
not understand how the town Is to be
benefited by the blowout?
| Why the Red Men and the business
men don't submit their differences to a
board of arbitration?
It it doesn't stand to reason that the
fair will result in much good to the
Red Men, the business men, the show
men and any other old bunch of men?
Where the young men "are at on
the propositions
| Ii, way down in your heart, you
aren't glad that the old town Is
| threatened with al acute attack OF
gayety for holiday week?
| II street fair aad two dances all in
one week isn't excitement enough for
anybody
1t Donaldsonville can possibly be
accused OF being one Of them D. q
unanimous towns?
Il the fact that the Red Men and the
business men are scrapping over the
street fair and the young men are at
loggerheads over the sassiety prohlem
doesn't seem to indicate that both
sides OF every question receive atten-
tion hereabouts?
II itWoa1dn't be a fine thing for the
whole shooting match to conclude a
treaty Of peace?
What's the matter with cutting out
the knocking and trying the effect of
q good boost?
II you We come across with a little
contribution to the doll and toy fund?
II not, why not?
/ If it can possibly be that you intend
to slip-up on this opportunity to add
a line to your record in the good
book?
If there is any more beautiful char
ity in the world than bringing sun
shine into the hearts of the poor chill
dren OF great city on the anniver-
sary Of the glorious day when the
Saviour OF mankind came into the
| Worlds
II it isn't q sure thing that you will
enjoy your Christmas great deal
more II you have the satisfaction of
knowing that you have done some
thing TO give happiness to a little
child who would otherwise spend the
day il the desolation OF drear despair
Why not make up your mind right
now TO contribute whatever you can
! spare to the worthy fund?
