Ten men have escaped from the Dis
trict jail
Three women were murdered in II
street ten minutes ago"
"A policeman just shot a man in
Pennsylvania avenue
Such were samples of the lurid tales
told to fool the tired editors on the dawn
of April Fools day.
The 1st of April has long been - day
OF pranks. since the days of Queen Eliz-
abeth, when stones and bricks were
placed under hats for courtiers to kick
and injure their toes. The sensitive man
fears the approach of April I, and
breathes a sigh of relief when the day OF
constant watchfulness has passed.
The small boy regrets the end of the
day of joy, but remembers for weeks the
rage of the fat men who hurriedly turned
about and searched the ground at the
cry. Mister, you dropped something:
The chases by irate fools" will become
the small imps' history.
