him rush pellmel over women and children, to get

All Had Good Appetites
THE first summer the trolley line running,

And what the city folks couldn't eat they carried
off home with them. The Strawberries raspberries,

All that needed to be done was just to slip another

Uncle Hiram and Aunt Emily had time to sit down

By the time the next spring had arrived they had

Now, don't you go to the least bit of trouble

from Missourian. The latter has to
be shown-the former only needs TO be
told, Information comes to The Tribune
that Bishop Hunter has sent out women
in the Tenth district to pose as Ameri-
cans. They are TO make a house-to-
house canvass. They are impostors so
far as their Americanism is concerned.
American women in that district should
ask these women If Bishop Hunter sent
them-if so. show them the door. I'm
der false pretenses these women en-
ployed by Bishop Hunter would mislead
American women in voting. Look out
for them.
