The Elk. as an individual is familiar
with balls The masque ball, the billiard
ball, the high ball, are on his list. but
the baseball is best known to him
as an excuse for buying tickets to d
boarded-up enclosure, where he may sit
in the grandstand and smoke ten-cent-
ers while a cluster of slaves juggle the
spheroid for his amusement, loss or
gain. AS an individual you seldom
catch him taking violent exercise, such
as the captain requires of a base-run-
ner. but when bunch of them get to-
gether he is liable to do most anything.
So the local EIks are going to meet and
destroy the Emporia herd next Mon
day 1t will be a shame to do it, as
the Emporia herd is said to contain
some fine specimens.

Ladiana showed a substantial increase in
the crowds that were present at his meet

was paid to his utteranoes. At nearly all

special appeals to voters 70 come to t.e

satisfied, that the State could be carried for

Referring to Judge Parker he said:

candidate for President on the Democratic
ticket has 80 far forgotten the amenities
that govern polite debate as to indulge in
personalities. In the face Of mighty prob
