THOUGHT II WAS FREE.
And POOR AT THAT

Election night, the ladies of the
Needle Society of the Christian
church served lunch upon the stage
at the hall. Hamburger sandwiches,
pie and coffee Many people lunched
there that night and enjoyed it, paid
for it and went on their way rejoic-
ing. with a glad heart, full stomach
and an empty pOcketbOok. But 10.
there came upon this scene OF plenty
wanderer upon the face OF the
earth, yea, a frequenter of the free
lunch He sat himself down upon
the divans of the state and straight
way slowed away the fatted calf with
about as much mastication as a snake
would have troubled himself with.
Having finished the large portion
allotted to him, he glared at the
other beings gathered together, who
were chewing excitedly, he growled
showed his teeth, wiped his mug upon
his right paw, and beat it for the
opening in the wall which led to the
street. The ladies OF the Needel
Society of the Christian Church held
hurried council of war, pushed the
bravest one out after the man with
instructions to get the money Shesuc
ceeded in chasing him into a corner
and demanded the money for what he
had eaten. He Immediately let it be
known by signs, gutteral sounds and
short barks that he thought the lunch
was free and that anyway, it was no
good. The lady told him that that
made no difference if it was no good,
it was for the church, and must be
paid. But the man" didn't know
what church" meant The lady then
appealed to his supposed pride and
said well, if you haven't the money,
why will pay it for you, but if you
have the money, | want you to pay" ."
He very reluctantly held out a dime,
not half of the bill, and went off ours
ing and growing about being robbed.

OUR COMMERCIAL CLUB

A Real Estate man and a Mer-
chant of Liberal, were standing on
the street the other day, when a
stranger approached them. lifted
his hat with an apology for the In
trusion, and inquired where he
would find the Commercial Club
of Liberal.
And, the antics of those two
men were amusing+alsO painful
to behold. You've seen rooster
with his neck stretched, trying to
swallow a big apple core which al
most chOked him. Well, that was
the realeastater-the way his neck
stretched out, and his effort to
swallow his Adams apple, would
remind you of a man from the
back woods looking for the first
time at a circus.
The merchant started a turkey
trot" for his store, muttering
Something about being busy.
Made a clean marathon of it, he
did.
And the stranger3 Oh, a small
boy had chanced to hear his in
quiry, had pulled off bis old rusty
cap and smoothed down his hair,
in an effort to civilly greet the
man, and said; Il can tell yer
c'mon with me, ~ I'll show it to
yer" Thanking the little fellow
he followed. w e S t on
Second Street they went, dived
into an alley, bringing up in
the rear of a livery stable. And,
there the boy produced the Club.
God saved the mark. 1t was a
sure enough club, somewhat rough
and bumpy, to be sure, but a good
stout club, with a nice handle
whitfield on it, some S signs stamp
ed on it, and a few streaks of
blood and wisp of hair sticking to
it. 1t also had a tag attached,
bearing the advertisement,

We HAVE HIM.

1t will not be long until the next
legislature conyenes, Therefore, it
will not be long until the problem OF
a new Speaker of the House will be
up for decision. Does not that sug-
gest something to your mind? 1t oc-
ours to us that there is a man right
acre in Liberal who could not be out
classed for the place. He has good
appearance, he is very aggressive, has
executive ability and is the graduate
Of one of the biggest and best col
leges in the L. S. Therefore, it
stands to reason that DR.. R. r, Mich

A GREAT CHANGE.

In two years from now, it will be
amusing, and still sad, to see the
weary candidate struggling along
with a box of cigars in one hand and
carrying a big bucket of candy in
the other II he hands the man a
cigar and ignores the woman she will
be angry A cigar won't do, and bee
teriology has advanced so far that II
will not do to kiss the bahys even
though there happened to be one. So
it must be candy The candidate
might get him one of these little dago
push carts and load it up with cigars,
bananas and candy, 1t will have TO
be done even if he does think he is
making monkey of himself
