Maybe some voter will believe it. {. Be careful of the | street crossings-Chicago streets are more crowded than those of | Painted Post of Waupekenetah. 5. | Don't let anyone know you have an interest in politics-you might | have to spend some money. 6. | Don't drink a Girl Question cock tail. After the third. respectable | men rob their own trunks. '. Don't say a word: jus. look wise. and you'll make a reputation for be- ing on the inside. S.

Laugh and the world laughs with you. don't buy and you'll be alone. 10. Remember-An alibi is sometimes more useful than a vote.
