A two-page ''write-up" from Louisville
conveys the gratifying intimat!on that P.
PlfiinEton Pifie, hitherto found to be a
very J. P. Morgan OF reticence by all

Another distressing story a certain au-
tomobile press agent seems to favor Is
to the effect that the vestrymen OF a
Detroit church decreed that no automo-
biles be allowed to stop near the church.
The ruling was strictly enforced until IL
was demonstrated that the Blank car
made absolutely no noise and therefore
could not possibly interfere with the de-
livery OF the minister's Sunady sermon.
Thereafter the indulgent vestrymen
so says the press agent, modified the
embargo to read, ''AH cars except the

Soup Press Agent.

The soup press agent kindly suggests
that II the city editor perfers to use the
concern at the end OF the story In
stead OF IN the body OF It he is at per-
feet liberty to do so. The city editor
is usually profoundly touched by such re-
markable consideration on the part OF a
perfect stranger and generally makes It
point to personally thank the press
agent for his pains.
Are there any doubling Thomases who
still persist in believing that DR.. Cook did
not discover the North Pole? Then they

Little Rock, Ark. June 2.-ImbOden,
Lawrence County. this state, enjoys the
distinction OF having the youngest may
or in the United States. Joe F. Sulli-
van, not past twenty-one years OF age.
and hopeless cripple, won the execu-
tive Office over two old political cam
paIgners. A pair OF goats and dozen
pretty girls contributed to his election.
The goats hauled him to the speaking
places during the campaign, the man.
agement OF which was turned over to the
girls who forced their brothers and
sweethearts to vote for him whether
they wanted to or not.
Sullivan has had an unusual and in
teresting career for a lad who has not
yet reached his majority. His father
died five years ago. leaving him with a
widowed and feeble mother. He was
stricken with paralysis at the age OF
four years, which deprived him Of the
use Of his left arm and both lower
limbs. In all these years he has not
known what It is to stand on his feet
or take a step. He has, nevertheless,
climbed several rungs Of the ladder Of
success,
Gets Political Bee.
Last fall Sullivan first felt the sting
Of the political bee. He intended at that
time to enter the Democratic primaries
and run for a county ONCE, but was
prevented from so doing by a severe at
tack OF the typhoid fever. Realizing
after his recovery that his only chance
to break into politics this year lay IN
making the race for mayor in the April
election, Sullivan decided to announce
his candidacy for this office. Everybody
in Imboden laughed at what they con-
sidered Sullivan's joke. Two prominent
and experienced politicians had already
announced for the office.
The amusement OF his opponents
neither frightened nor deferred Joe. One
of his first acts was the appointment Of
a committee Of campaign managers, con-
sisting OF a dozen Of his pretty school
girl friends. Then the girls and Sullivan
got busy.
The young women proved to be the
most active and effective campaigners
that Imboden had ever seen. They got

ticular. are the most industrious in ad-
vertislng their own merits and the Op-
portunities along their right Of way.
At times the efforts of press agents to
get something for nothing become really
funny. For instance, a Lexington to-
bacco company earnestly requests that
the attention OF the public be drawn to
the fact that Napoleon read and reread
the fifth chapter OF the Book OF St
Matthew" Presumably the intention is
TO convey the impression that the Bible
supports the use Of the fragrant weed,
but just what paragraph OF the fifth
chapter Of Matthew would lend confirma-
ton TO that belief the copy reader who
puzzled over the Joker" IS still unable
to determine.
One Of the great transatlantic steam
ship companies requests that 'as the re-
port that the steamship Blank is aground
in the Chesapeake Bay has received such
wide circulation during the past two days
II will be obliged II the rumor Is denied.
The Blank IS having her hull scraped in
dry dock, and this may have started the
rumor that she was aground"
Quoting Edison.
Another letter from the ubiquitous
press agent purports TO be an interview
with Thomas Alva Edison. The author
cleverly marks the alleged interview
around to the subject Of automobile
horns. Presently one finds Edison quoted
as declaring It to be his conviction that
the Rickety-RaX Company auto horn,
with its powerful. uncanny and extremely
short blast, Is the best auto horn on
either the foreign or American market.
Here. his point achieved. the press agent
considerably strangles his sweet-voiced
canary.
Evidently inspired by the Titanic dis
aster, the ''publcist" for an elevator OF
the plunger type startles the guIleless
city editor with what appears to be =
most interesting article free from all sus-
siciOn OF Interior motive. The copy Is
headed Elevators That Float; Sky
scraper Airships That Never Leave the
Ground" Further reading discloses the
fact that the Creased Pole Plunger
Elevator Company has just contracted
to install two OF its express elevators
in the new eight-story building at the
corner OF such-and-such streets"
The publicity agent for a great soup
factory sends in his copy headed My,

thus administered, it has a powerful
action as a cure for certain skin trOu-
