1t is said that Lawyer Oscar
Wears is putting in the time
between his law office and his
pig sty. There is always some
thing doing in local politics
when Oscar invites his friends
and acquaintances to stroll
around his swinery. 1t is there
he does his cleyerest election
eering, and the only argument
he uses is to sit on the fence
and white on n soft pine stick
and find out what every body in
all the surrounding country
are talking about along politi-
cal lines. Oscar knows n lot of
things he never tells.-Norton
