ground that the legislature having

I'm going to promulgate one of my
queer schemes to-day.
People who don't like queer schemes
are respectfully warned to keep off
the premises. Trespassers prosecuted
to the full extent of boredom
The queer scheme is this-the estab-
lishment of an introduction bureau IN
every town and city of any size in the
country,
When l was an active newspaper
woman / was sent, one hot night, to
the weather bureau to get list of the
hottest cities all over the country ana
sundry other details-you know the
kind of hot weather story all papers
occasionally print. The full reports
from the different cities had not yet
come in and while l was waiting for
them 1 conversed with the assistant
clerk Of the weather, very pleasant,
well hammered young man.
In the course of the conversation he
confided to me that he had come to
the city only few weeks ago and had
found it a very homesick place
Said he, I'D like to meet some nice
girls. like girls and I'd like to have
some one I could take to the theatre
occasionally and things like that. But
how's a fellow going to meet them If
he doesn't know anybody in the city?
OF course, l could pick up a girl on
the street anytime, or / suppose /
could make friends with a telephone
girl over the wire, but that isn't the
kind of girl I want. l want to meet
some nice girls"
Just then the fact that it had been
