VOICE. have been sitting up FOL
hours waiting your return. Your de
lportment, let me suggest, has been re
markably out of the ordinary tonight
In the future, of course, l will conduct
myself according to the dictates 81

Good night"
| Then he went to his room, but some
how he could not sleep.
| A half hour later, when he heard
| his wife sobbing in her apartments
ne gently kicked himself, not once
but many times, for the brute that he
was. However, he held out in his de-
Termination not TO make damaging ex-
plantations in a case, which, he assur'
ed himself, was probably without par
allel in the city Of Pensacola.
1t was too good an opportunity to
lose out on.
Our editorial assistant is beginning
his annual splash into the society
pool, and achieving the superhu-nan
effort of becoming even more useless
than we at first thought him TO be.
Instead of turning the searchliSht
of his remarkable editorial ability
upon the exchanges for some stray
thought of worthy contemporary,
which perchance he may work into an
original and scintillating effort Of his
own, he spends his time in the edi-
torial wash room looking for black
heads and the stray traces of person
al beauty which he has a sneaking
suspicion has embodied itself in his
particular yisage.
He complains that his social en-
sagements. this season are actually
keeping him from having lis trousers
pressed, and he gets mildly busy now
and then trying to WOO old Morpheus
in our editorial sanctoriuIn.
We are thinking of exchanging his
desk for a bedstead, in fact, for. we
realize that the Punkinville Noise
needs an assistant that can shine in
society If nothing else.
Anyhow, some young men aim to
rise in the world by staying awake SO
late the night before that they can't
rise at al next day.
This is on the side, but right side
up ON the real thing proposition.
There is one good thing about our
assistant, however
He is giving the bug all the room
it needs for expansion, and If we are
not away of from the main circuit,
we anticipate that he will get enough
of it in the calf stage of his manly ex-
loICuCC " CAdDlC MIN " HCNNiC w" II
like some sane somebody when the
worst * over.
After he gets through being all
wings and cackle, and stops going to
bed early every morning with whir-
ring in mis- uppers. he'll probably
spend more time adjusting his finances
than his tie, and begin losing interest
in the absorbing question as to when
scandal ceases to be scandal. and be-
comes only a select social diversion.
He'll also probably view his home
much in the same light that wood
chuck does his burrow, and start to
treating his .wife's guests like hyenas.
The worse they have it while they
are young. like the measles. the safer
they are when they are old.
ct isn't time for deductions and we
are editorially aware of it-but we
are just worrying along on a rough
proposition at best)
On the whole, we feel for our as
Sistant.
He's up against tough deal. and
the Lord only knows how long the at
tack is going to last on him. 1t is the
same thing that ails the Hottentot
lady who depends upon nose rings in
stead of tiarras and whose feather
head dress vies VITA any of the latest
fall millinery.
We tell him that society is best
