Just What Is Lobster?--By Kari Kaffer

If you will look in your dictionary, you will see
that a lobster is marine shellfish having pair
of large claws; that it is found in great plenty
many rocky coasts
That it is a greenish color when alive, and red
when boiled.
All of which is the truth, but not the whole
truth.
A lobster Is all of that-and more.
Going bit further into the subject lobster
is a. creature of the genus found In great
plenty in any place which is large enough to
boast theatre In color, this particular species
of lobster is green around the intellect blackish
in the vicinity of the ethics Of conduct, and red

Lobsters found in greatest abundance in
waters OF no great depth, such the first two
rows OF vaudeville house, any other play
house where there are chorus girls and ballet
They are seldom found in the deeper waters of
highclass drama, grand opera
In age they vary from 40 to 100. In fact the
true lobster never grows too old to be lobster
so long as he can stand unsupported his feet,
and has the price of show ticket
The dictionary tells also that the lobster has a
very hard she'll He has. He is perfectly i'm,

This gambuling bizness is all one-sided
just becawse Sosiety has frowned on the
old fashioned game of shooting craps and
poker the only possibu openings for the
commun pcepul to take chan sc--the law
has stepped in and maid it a misdemeenur
and a crime for these games to be played.
Uther forms of gambulling engaged in un-

Far be it frum us to uphold gambulling
We do not do so, and don't want to be so
understood But we do think it is pretty
hard on sum folks to make them pay all the
penalties of taking a chanse, while uthers

There has always been moor or less

not contint with the intracasies of stud

nified draw-they air always studying
sum new skeem to ware away the monotony
of the old ones.
Long time ago the favvorite pass-time
of the sports was prize-fiting. In the good
old days of the Honerabull John L. Sull-

Sulliven used to travvel round the country

put a perminint and enturnally BRAIDED
crimp in any old kind of hope that could
be pursuawded to get into the ring with
him. His spesialty was feeding large fat
gloove to sed hope in such sudden and alb

at his stummacl and he would accordingly
seece to hope at onse

Sulliven for three rounds, and weer imme-
