Gave HeckIers a Chance.

At one time the Republicans of Chi cago were out and were fighting De- mocracy on industrial conditions and the putative helplessness of situa- tion which did not let the Republic ans in. A parade was started off and was we'll on it's way-nearly to the file closers-when a ward boss saw that two lighted transparencies lacked carriers. He looked around hurriedly and noticed that one of his retainers was idle. Here" he yelled, "shoul- der this and get in line" The shang- haied recruit was a gambler who busted himself in ward politics on oc- casions, but for the most stuck to his trade when trade was possible. AS he hoisted the lighted legend "Open up the mills and factories" there was a chorus of derisive yells from the side walk: Never mind the mills. Open up the poker games"

Shakespeare and Bacon.

It has not been proven that Bacon wrote the plays known as Shake speare's. The various attempts at such task have all turned out to be melancholy failures. It has been shown that there are many difficulties in the way of believing that the historical Shakespeare wrote the immortal dra- mas, but it has not been shown that anybody else wrote them. The Strat- ford man is still in possession of the glory of their authorship. and if he is not entitled to the honor it is i'm possible to say who is.
