LY The NAY
By HARVEY PARSONS

We join the esteemed Republican
candidate in the doubt column
Through the pages of his justly cele-
brated paper, he points with pride to
the removal of one Hinkel, said to be
an enemy to the dry cause, and fol-
lows, on the next day, by viewing with
alarm the same removal Whether
Hinkel and his mysterious getaway
represent Lost Cause or a Deep Dark
Plot, is worrying us a whole lot, these
! days.
Can a man obtain money from his
wife by fraud That is the legal point
involved in local law suit 1t may
be faux pas on our part to give away
secrets for which a lawyer could col
lect at least $25-BUT: Our experience
who can get money from his wife after
she gets her mits on 1t, has to resort
to fraud,-AND FURTHERMORE
that mighty few men are smart enough
Ito put it over the better half on any
pretext.
Speaking of Piffie: fox hunting is
about to become a popular sport with
the shave-tails at Fort Riley. num-
Der of pet foxes have been imported
Can YOU-after giving free rein to
your widest fancies. think up
sporting proposition that would beat
setting a lot of rough meek dogs on a
pet fox which was raised on "a BOTS

ton as a picture of A. c. Trumbe,
president of the Transmississippt Com
mercial Congress?
Both Trentini and Caruso unload
several "bah's'' when the name of the
other is mentioned. But although they
each makes a noise like goat, we hold
that the real goat of their controversy
is the Long Suffering PUBLIC, which has
to take their advertising scheme dis
guised as news matter.
A friend objects to the popular
newspaper system of calling Gaby Des-
Tvs an artistic But we hold that the
custom is justidable; Gaby draws a
large crowd every night.
And following the same line of
thought, Gertie Hoffman should be re-

Ills said, Horatio, that the time eX-

We knock, at times, upon the in
creased cost of living, but can work up
no Precipitation over the corner on the
cranberry market. Here's hoping they
go so blamed high that Friend Wife
will decide that she can't afford them.
Turkey is bad enough, without the
added insult of cranberries.
In fact we could be a whole lot more |
thankful on a jolt of fried oysters or
porterhouse steak.
Doc Wiley views with alarm that al |
legged drink, absinthe. He says it is an |
enemv We are sorry to hear that the /
Doc has made an enemy of the stuff
that tastes like the worm medicine !
given to babies. We would not go so I
far as to brand it as an enemy, but, if /
the Doc desires our testimony, will |
gladly testify that it is blamed poor
substitute for something to drink.
