Table Talk for Bromides During Three
~ Meals Today.
Breakfast-I had read the Bromides
for so long that / actually missed them
when they quit am told by persons
in position to know that when there
is an election on every paper man in
town Is told to write about it--That' 8
why they make SO many mistakeeS;; al !
so much rain there had to be land
slide-But 1t wasn't SO large.
Luncheon--Think Of those Korenas
xmsEEie one Fl eur a qn as G bad as the
anarchists: / wish they would meet
some men like Chief Shipman of Chi
cago--He would show them how TO
shoot wonder If his little boy ever
got well-,The little crown prince died
The Aldermen that had no opposition
Were the happiest men in town--Well,
eevrybody seemed satisfied yesterday.
Dinner--I hope this good weather
keeps up--I never have found out who
Mittie May is-They say she is john
albert's sister, heard that the Mayor
gave a special permit for them to set
the hsh-Their father must have some
political pull-There may be no such
persons as Mittie May and Johnalbert--
They are peculiar names-You know
those paper fellers are always making
up something foolish-People will take
anything that they can get for nothing
II really did want a gold hsh--One
from the celebrated basin would be a
great souvenir.
The PuglIIsm of Puertlity.
II Tom Sawyer, in all his glory, seek
ing to be as conspicuous as possible
had decided to have a fight he would
have chosen for his duellinE ground
lust that corner-Perry street and Dex-
AUafansA-nfilizRd fhn NJ
combat by two small boys yesterday
that at Court Square the conditions
would have been too congested to per-
nit of open view to the people; he
would have known that the chosen
corner was clear to inspection yet suf-
fciently inhabited to prevent long con-
tinuance of hostilities.
But the puerile persons who did
duello yesterday afternoon had not, as
Tom might have done, pondered pre-
ton.
They fought in the heat of passion
They had quarreled about the owneES
ship of cigar band or some other in
alienable right or possession of God
given privilege and SO on. They came
together as magnet and iron and thelr
little arms and fists few like anything
They could not have been angrier II
they had been 81 or 80 years old.
When passe persons separated them
one was hustled one way. the other an
other. The other who was hustled an
other direction came back to look al
the corpse.
IT killed him!" he screamed II
killed him! Let me get to him!sS
Some one placidiy suggested that
mutilation OF foes flesh after victory
was barbaric. The suggestion was re-
PEELED
II am going to kill him again soon's
1 meet im!' the hero beloved, as the
tears discreetly leaped over the dust Of
lar.
Then he was released. Everybody
knew that 1t was then safe.
