Might Have Been Worse


On Tuesday night, just as the
bells changed the hour of mid
night two revolver shots split the
quiet air from ear to ear and
caused our poPulace to gasp in
terror stricken anticipation. The
Justly celebrated crack of i'm
pending doom lost its reputation
when these shots were fired. We
leaped from our vlrtu~ us couch
and searched our clothing to see
if our annual transportation and a
photograph of prominent an
cestor had been molested, and
upon ascertaining that they had
not we Immediately resumed un
troubled repose. According to
reports many others of our citi-
zens had similar experiences, ex
cept that they hunted for their
pocket books and watches as the
most important OF their personal
effects
Upon investigation the next
morning it was learned that one
of our prominent citizens. who
loves the peaceful repose OF
his quiet home, had been dis
turbed repeatedly by the bowling
and low carousings of bunch OF
worthless canines which have
been infesting our streets day
and night for the pas. several
months. His righteous patience
worn to a frazzle, he carefully took
down from a shelf overhead a
late copy of Smith & Wesson on
"How to Ventilate the Anatomy
and wandered forth into the
pale moonlight, clad in nocturnal
robes and surging thoughts. 1t
may have been a canine suffra-
gette convention. but anyway our
citizen acting IN defense of his
home, when he had located the
chief offender, gently uncorked
his great sile. Ger. Then as the
pale moonbeams flickered thru
the treetops and nature seemed to
stand silently awed at the i'm
pending tragedy, the afore-men-
toned shots rang out and the
soul of the fair young doggess
fitted away to join the hosts OF
the washed and ransomed which
had gone on before. In the early
morning. as the wind sighed a
sad requiem for the departed, she
was laid beneath the turf where
in the spring the dandelions will
spring forth and as they nod their
tiny heads will breathe silent
benediction for deg who hadn't
sense enough to keep her mouth
shut when a full grown, austere
man was trying to sleep.
or course her demise was un-
timely and regrettablr. but we
trv to bear our bereavement
bravely and console ourselves with
the thought that it might have
been worse. In fact we are almost
tempted to remark, Let the good
work go on" Haynes. in Olathe

Chicago Midget VIII Have Chance Of
Life in Match With Battler
M ,h;e

Chicago, Jan. 21-Eddie Lang, the
local lightweight, who is being hailed
as a coming champion, will get an op-
portunity tonight that seldom falls to
the lot of a youngster in the game
He is to meet the champion of his
class when the latter is generally adj
mitted to be on the down grade While
few of Lang's most ardent admirers
are predicting victory for the young
ster, they see chance for him to
make a good showing and thus leap
near to the ton of his division.
Fang and Nelson are to go over the
eight-round route as the feature Of the
first show at Tommy Ryan's new
club, known as the Memphis A. c..
The fight will not be at the feather
weight limit, Lang being forced to
scale at 129 pounds at 6 O'Clock, while
Nelson will go into the ring at catch
weights. Lang can make the figure and
be strong, as he demonstrated in a re-
cent go with Danny Goodman, with
whom he fought twenty-round draw
