still, there is question which has been
puzzling us good while, and we now
make bold to ask: Why is 1t that,
among all those people who remem-

not one can remember being an hod
carrier, an undertaker's assistant, or
an office boy j- = soap factory? There

can distinctly remember having been

years ago, was bitterly discontented,

There's matter for rumination in this.
We shall hurry away now to tell the
young woman In the apartment ad-
joining ours that the reason she longs
to sing, or thinks she can sing, and
cannot, is because she had a sweet

CLEARED UP THE MYSTERY
Son Enlightons Mother as to Queer

"Son," said the mother that even
ing, what are those remarks after
your partners names? Miss Brown
would not be pleased to know she had
been called the pink lady,"
"Why, mother, that's all right. Lots
of the fellows mark their programs
like that. You see, a fellow can't al
ways remember girl when he meets
her for the first time, there are so
many Of them. So, to avoid embar-

STIRRING OF YOUNG MANHOOD
Father's Idea Of Teeehlno Little Son
lesson Didn't Seem to Turn
Out just Right.

The little three-year-old son OF q
proud North side father and mother
became so greatly interested in pho
nograph belonging to one of the neigh
bors that he quite forgot to go home
at his accustomed bedtime.
"Tell you what we'll do" said his
father to his mother. 'WeIl put out
the lights and pretend we've gone to
bed. That will teach Master Bennie q
lesson"
When the little chap hurried home,
about eight o'clock, he stopped in con-
sternation at the gate on noticing that
the place bore dark and gloomy as
pect.
He called several times before his
mother, too kind-hearted to keep him
waiting any longer, answered him In
make-believe sleepy tones.
What is 1t, my child?" asked the
mother.
With trembling voice the youngster
replied:
Mother. will you please tell Benta-
MINIS father that his son Is out here
and wants to come in?"
Next morning at breakfast the par
ents, who were prepared to hear their
little son excuse his conduct of the
evening before, were astonished to
hear him exclaim:

NACEL NOW ADMITS
WRITING LETTER
Did Ask Job for Man Who Could
Deliver Hundred Votes
to Mayor

John G. Nagel, CITY assessor and
campaign manager for Mayor Thomp-
son. after first denying that he had
written letter to Lester Clancy,
chief clerk and superintendent of the
storage yard Of the water board, ask
ing Clancy to give w. 8. G. Weller a
Job, because Weller could deliver 100
votes to Mayor Thompson. finally ad.
mitted writing the letter.
This fact, however, did not prevent
the mayors cabinet from trying to
engineer a denial. It. took the form
Of an affidavit by Weller In which he
swore that John Gillespie. campaign
manager for Oscar b. Marx, offered
him any one OF Ave or six jobs. one Of
which would bring S21 a week, tc
Jump over the fence"-in other
words, to desert Mayor Thompson
and support Mr.. Marx, Weller says
he refused.
The denial" however, denies
nothing. II does not deny that Nagei
wrote the letter. or that Weller was
given a water board job because he
could deliver votes to Mayor Thomp-
SON.,
The only denial" Is to the effect
that Mayor Thompson never offered
Weller q job, or had him put on the
city payroll. This, however, Is not a
denial, for no such statement has
been made. The only showing so Far
revealed is that John @. Nagel, cam
paign manager for a man who Is cam
paigning on a no-graft-more-purity
platform, tried to secure 100 votes
for the mayor In exchange for a eity
Job.
Mayor Thompson In his speecha,
Monday night, made no reference Il
the Nagel letter except to say tha
he himself had never bargained fol
votes.
The swapping OF Jobs for vote
would be illegal In a primary, and |
Il certainly morally wrong IA an eleC
tion," said Prosecutor Shepherd, Tues
day, referring 20 the letter Mage
wrote TO Clancy. -.
