A CRITICAL VIEW.

u There is something of truth in the
humorous reference Samuel G. Blythe
makes to the post prandial part Of the
Ordinary banquet, yet Mr. Blythe is in
,clined to be just a little more critical
Ehan the average banquet goer and his
words need not be taken as gospel.
After dinner speakers, says Mr.. Blythe
IN an article in the Saturday Evening
Post, fall easily into three general
sclasses: (a) instructive: % anus
ling, and (c) plain punk. The average
banquet, he says, is a Kindergarten
where overbaked poseurs elucidate
lhalf-baked axioms, and seek to add to
fheir personal regulations by solemnly
Waiting solemn truths that have been
lated a million times before
ny If there are any who have found the
bragg banquet to affect them the
ay that Mr.. Blythe describes, there
only one way to find relief-get 4
near the door and slide out after
coffee and cigars. The departing
need not feel that his absence will
4lpen the occasion. There will be
few of us left who really enjoy an
ter dinner speech, even if we have
gard something before that listened
stressingly like the same speech.

Just a year ago. based. upon eco

south of the city, Asplund has been
nowhere or anywhere or everywhere
since. and last night. tired and worn,
returned to his home, utterly devoid
of any explanation of his long alb.
sence. The friends whom he contem-
plated visiting have seen nothing of
him, no acquaintance has laid eyes
upon him, and while he seemingly
commands his senses, his knowledge
of his whereabouts 70 rthe past ten
days, is blank.
Asplund is employed in the bridge
construction gang Of A. Nellans, and
has been working at Des Moines, but
owing to an injury received to his
arm some months ago, he returned to
this city Friday, November 49, The
morning following he left the Asp.

Thinking he prolonged his visit, his
sister-in-law made no effort to locate
him, and was dumfounded when he
tired and worn. returned home late
last evening. Qestioning him regarding
his long absence, she received no ex-
PLANTATION, and communication with the
Campbels was then sought. They had

ance OF his whereabouts had prompted
his sister-ir-law to ask the aid OF the
police department. Chief Gallagher

mysterious absence of Asplund.
