Johnny Writes tu
6i$ Dad.


several letters to you but forgot 10
ask how matters were on the ex-
change. I hope you were not
squeezed during the recent 6nan-
cial panic. / well remember how
perturbed you used to get when
ever I mentioned Mr.. Lawson's
name. Shouldn't wonder but he
still keeps you guessing, as we'll as
State and Wall Streets. He has
always been my idol, for [ con-
slider him the best friend the
American people have had since
the halcyon days of George Wash
ington. | know that you enter
tanned poor opinion of him and
have often said that he was a
fakir-a purveyor of hot air. In
talking Of hot-air fiends, this
place contains a good sized bunch
of the species. They are a sorrow
full lot. It is real agony to listen
to them praise themselves. Some
of them even have the brazen ef-
frontery to say that they are grad
yates of our leading colleges. This
is not true; they are simply frauds
Of the first magnitude.
/ Yes, dad, there are some chaps
here who are deacedly peculiar.
The other day I saw one of them
holding on to his right hand pocket
for dear life. When told to take
his hand away he replied that he
dare not, that the peace Of Europe
depended on him faithfully dis
charging his duty. When asked
what he was guarding, he said that
he had the German emperor in his
pocket and was holding him SO as
to preserve the peace of the world.
Later it was discovered that his
, pocket contained only the broken
bowl of pipe. The performance
was ludicrous to say the least.
Hoping the folks are enjoying
good health and prosperity, I re.
main,
81 Sincerely Yours,
, Johnny.
Ny Dear Son:-I am happy to
say that the hard times we are
having did not squeeze me very
: hard. At one time I thought

cate myself very neatly. It ii

Q moldy coins near the top. Dom

J. Lawson to me again. That mar
o is responsible for the great mora
# upheaval that has been sweeping
Q over the country; it was he wht
turned the light on, and the people,

!. every day. Only last week l wa
introduced to a gentleman VIII
represented himself to be a rela
tive Of a distinguished Southern
family who could trace his ancestr,

10 flower. Before he left he requested
70 the temporary loan of two hundre'
y dollars. | hadn't the money witt
