that he did, and learning the number
of hia room, the Cub entered the ele-

"Mr. Busenberry," he called. this

Cub. The Cub walked into the room
and for the first time got a chance
TO look over the source from which
his tory was to come.
OF all the rubes who ever got up IN
the morning and MIXED thirty cows
before breakfast, Senator Busenberry
was the cream of the lot. He was
bald. of course, like all rubes should
be, and wore pair of window-panes
as big as a dollar On the DO tom
part of the side of his head on which
his face was located, protrUded a
seven-years' crop of spinach that re-
minded me of a last yeats whisk-
broom. He was dressed in pea
green vest with MAX stripes. which
partially covered up billed red shirt.
A pair of trousers which looked like
the ones they used to wear about
thirty years ago, and huge Fair of
carpet slippers formed the rest of his
attire. oh, he was rube, all right
The Senator motioned to the Cub to
be seated, and after one more gaze at
the rube, the Cub fell into violent
fit of sneezing, bringing into play
large white handkerchief to cover up !;
snndry giggles that leaked out.
well, Mr.. Busenberry.' the Cub be- :

been in our city for few DAYS, aud

Camp Now would like to have your
opinion as to what YOU think of the .
town and the people in general. !
