SHOWED THE SCAR

Many things ludricious and ridicu-
lous happen in the Office of Clerk
George Phillips that are sources of
amusement to the happy family of en-
ployes in that department of Wapello
county's court house, but it remained
for German resident of Floris to pull
off the highly comical stunt of all the
other day. Bernhard Klein was his
name and his mission to the clerks
office was for the purpose Of fling his
first papers TO secure eright of fran
chise, American citizenship. There is
a large /smattering Of red tape to be
gone over by the clerk and the subject
when such thing Is in progress and
during the questioning by Clerk Phil
lips Mr.. Klein was asked If there were
any visible signs on his person by
which he could be identified The sub
ject said he had, and to further sub
stantiate the statement, rolled UP his
trousers and there on his limb was
revealed q large scar. The process
was somewhat shocking to the fairer
occupants of the office, but this was
entirely forgotten when the
earnestness of the foreigner was con-
sidered.
