get the proposition reversed when he
said, beg pardon, know your face,
but didn't catch the name,'s
It seeing the face wasn't what made
| him fail to hear the name?
# the name of 'iOld Boss Bentley, !,
wasn't quite as familiar as ever, but
the rejuvenated Whiskerless features of
the dapper young man put Vic on the
guessing bench:
Why the. junior editors let-up so
suddenly in their derisive denuncia-
ton of the seniors cutting up-or cut
ing off?
| If in one case it was because the
house servant exclaimed. ssMiss Ella,
| you sho'ly favor yo' pa n?-and
II in the other it was due to Col.
Colwell's discerning declaration that
1.-THE Boss looks like Donnaud now,
only he's got him beat a mile'?
II it won't be the general judgment
that The Chief has been materially
improved by the loss of It's Vitzkersg
Why the police jury s'adopted' the
parish treasurer
What they are going to do with him?
II it wouldn't have been much
simpler to have merely elected the
officer?
Why in the world it doesn't rain
some?
# it isn'ta shame for the weather
man to treat us the way he's been do
ing the past two weeks?
II you've noticed how pert the rub
Der brigade are looking these days?
Why it is they begin TO sit up and
take notice as soon as the crossings
become muddy2
# stthe man behind hasn't got a
cineh just about now?

If he didn't waste his whistle on the.
opera house square at all events?

questions apply to him?
II it ism e dollars to doughnuts that
the whole shooting match will begin
formulating explanations as to why
they Whistled?
If you knew that fashions latest
diotum in regard to women smoking
cigarettes has been adopted in Donald
sonville?
How the girls on the wharf the
either night enjoyed the experience?
Why they don't smoke up and do
their putting in public2
What made them fear that the Of
fee Boy would get next to the little
seance?
# they were ashamed OF themselves?
-or
If their secretiveness was merely
due to the fact that they do not wish
the custom to become vulgarly pepu-
lar?
Who furnished the smokes?
IF the shake-up in local newspaper
circles the past week wasn't shaking
some?
Why our other little neighbor
doesn't get in the game and have a
housekeeping?
II it isn't about time for people to
stop calling him hard names?

coat didn't convey that Impressions
T What made Cushion Carrom feel SO
bad last Monday?
II it could possibly have been the
result OF his hilarity at the picnic the
previous day?
What made him so hilarious, any
| way?
Il it was the influence of the sun
shine and the green fields of the
country ?-or
Were his high spirits due TO moon
shine and the corn fields of Kentucky
How he happened to get such an
early start?
IL it isn't a wise man who knows
when he is alone-in Donaldsonville:
| How in the world the trio OF round.

rigation on. the corner during the
early hours of the morning could BIZ
