THE OFFICE BOY WANTS TO KNOW
If you heard of the startling offer
made by the Railroad avenue store
keeper?
If ''Frenzied Finance: the Story OF
Amalgamated" is to be compared to
the scramble that ensued when he an
nounced that fifteen dollars would be
paid for 1908 pennies?
How many embryonic Napoleons of
finance got busy and attempted to cor
ner the local copper market?
Il any of them have discovered that
figures don't lie-but are frequently
capable of double-me aning?
If it isn't easy to figure oct that
there is a world of difference between
nineteen hundred and three pennies
and pennies of 1903?
Il the chap who chased around and
bought up at Eve cents a piece all the
1903 coppers be could get his lunch
hooks on has realized yet that he is
one Of those things that are born
every minute?
What he thought when he triumph
antly laid down a yellow boy OF 1903
| with the demand that the aforesaid
merchant should come across with
out delay?
and was told to amble out and
gather just about nineteen hundred
and two more of the same kind of
coins?
Il what he thought was OF the same
hue and consistency as what he said?
How he managed to think it without
setting fire to his thinker?
# the genius who evolved the scheme
can be accused of double dealing?
If it isn't a cinch that he knows
human nature, all right
II there aren' It quite a few people in
the world-and in this little chunk OF
it particul larly-who are continually
striving to get something for nothing?
Il one or two lessons like that taught
by the incident of the pennies wouldn't
be a good thing for those kind of
grafters to absorb?
-on the same principle that "a
reasonable amount of heas is good for
dog: keeps him from broodin' on
bein' dog?
If sscl1er Henri has called again?
If the result was the same as before?
If what the gay boy did at the con-
clusion of last weeks visit mightu Il
we'll be called moving?
Ii he terms his experience an aaffair
of the heart?
What the third party and the medi-
cine man call it?
Why ''cher Henri twas SO strenuous?
If he realized that he had the power
to create such a tremendous huttering
in the breast of the fair demoiselle?
IF instead Of being a heart aker,
he isn't better entitled to be dubbed d
heart mover?
# you've got that ballot ready?
II it isn't foregone conclusion
that it reads aforn?
Who would be SO benighted as TO
vote against the bond issue2
IF anyone with the interest OF the
town at heart will lend his support
toward keeping Donaldsonville out of
the bandwagon OF progress and
prosperity?
and good streets and sidewalks,
the next best inducements to capital |
investors?
IF we shouldn't all pull together and
carry the bond issue BY sexclama-
tionn?
If the English language won't play
funny tricks on you If you don't
watch OUT?
IL the Times ad. was instrumental
in recovering the large, round brown
lady s belt PIN that was lostthe other
day.
Whether the information that the
owner is a large. round brown lady is
calculated to aid IN the identification
and recovery OF the plns
It this description isn't nearly as
comieal as aLondon paper 3 announce
ment OF piano for sale, BY q lady
with carved legss,
or the other ad. OF Bulldog Tor
