Let Us Talk 1t
Over

Well, dear sinner friends, this ID
The Fool Killer.
How does it set on your stomach!
II you like it, you IAN get more at
headquarters.
Che Fool-Killer is not even a forty
1eventh cousin to any other paper on
earth.
It stands in a class by itself, and
lta field is al broad as the English
language.
This paper e no bell, muzzle,
collar o halter.
You can put that down to start with.
1 am the fellow who works at the
pump-handle on this pungent period
ical of thrilling thought. I print only
what I write; I write only what l
think; and I think what l doggon
please.
1 own this entire establishment,
and Rockefeller isn't rich enough to
buy one share of it.
Does that sound strange?
Well, bless your soul, I am a great
deal richer than old John.
I never travelled any to speak OF.
but I have read a great deal, and have
thunk some.
1 have also writ a few books which
I know are great, because they don't
sell worth a cent.
Great books eve do.
And then I started The Fool-Killer.
Bust to quiet my nerves and keep the
old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion of these wooded
Hills there will go forth each month
Q bundle Of literary dynamite thai
will shake the rotten foundations Of
society and fuse the Church of Nam
mon to at least turn over in it's sleep
The Fool-Killer IN a monthly mus
ta~rd-plaster for the blood-boils O
Society, Church and State.
1t is sailed with wit, peppered will
humor and seasoned with sarcasm
Every line cuts like a whip. ant
every word raises q blister.
II you r a fool you had better no
subscribe for The Fool-Killer. I
you are wise you will. And 90 tina
settles it.

I BEG TO BE EXCUSED.

Every few days there comes to
me a request from somebody who
wants me to write them an origi-
nal typewriter ''speech' to be
delivered on some sort of an zoe
casion." They usually give me
a subject and tell me just how to
write the speech, how long to
make it, and all about it. The
subjects run all the way from
The Future Prospects of the
Redemocan Party to ''The Re-
peal of the Law Of Gravitation''
and why Don't a Rooster Give
Milk?'
Now | am naturally very az
commodating, and nothing would
please me better than to complv
with all these requests If Il vas

rampant Evils y
A Few Crumbs of Literary
'Backer for the Charlotte
Observer to Smoke
in It's Pipe.

Inc CnaflOJte IN. w.
er winds up an able editorial on
dope and cigarettes with these
words:
"Dope for the man and Gig
arettes for the small boy are
the rampant evils Of the day"
Which is all very true, but
such talk as that comes with
mighty poor grace from the
Charlotte Observer. Yet if any
paper on earth has a right to
know about these evils by person
al experience, that paper is the
Charlotte Observer. And the
purpose Of this little preach
ment is to tell you the reason
why.
Daily newspaper offices all ov-
er the country are noted for the
dissipated character Of their en-
ployes, but the Charlotte Obser-
yer bunch can coolly wax it on
to anything that I've ever
struck.
About seven years ago [ was
employed in the Observer office
for a period Of six months, and
during that time l saw more
dope and cigarettes consumed
and heard more doubled-and-
twisted cursing than in all the
thirty-feur years Of my life be-
sides. 1t actually made my
flesh crawl sometimes just to see
and hear such carryings-on as
they had there then, and I don I
suppose it's any better yet.
They had a niger whose jot
was to carry dope upstairs tc
the gang, and there amt nc
dickens if they didn't nearly run
that niger to death. About ev.
cry five minutes somebody
would yell "Dope! Dope!" anc
that niger would dive down
stairs so fast it looked like
a solid streak of niger all The
way down. In about thre.
winks of a ROSTERS eye he wa
back with a waiter loaded will
foaming glasses, whereupon si1
or eight fellers would drop thei
work and gather around the ia
BILE to drink and cuss. TIL
drinks consisted mostly Of Coca
Cola and other so-called "sof
drinks" but they never pre-
tended to call it anything bu
dope" And dope it certainl,
was.
Then every little while Their
was an express package O
straight lkker sent up, an,
what was left of it after tn
first round isn't worth talking
about.
l suppose each Teller drank a.
average Of ten or twelve dope
! a day, and the only time tina
! their cigarettes and pipes wei

they took 'em out to drink dop,
The air was always blue wit
smoke, and it smelled like burr

and he could say it so long and
fat, and with such a scornful,
devilish twist to the end Of it,
that it made my blood run cold.
I was drawing the princely sal
AIRY Of nine dollars a week along
then, supporting my wife and
self on it, and saving a little.
Some Of the others made from
$25 to$35 a week, and never had
money to last from one payday
to another. And they were
single men, too, most of them
nobody to spend it on but them
selves. [ never knew how much
the foreman Of the Observer
got per week, but | remember
lending him money at different
times.
So much for the mechanical
department Of the great Char
lotte Observer. And the literary
department Of it was not much
better. From the editor-in-
chief on down to the greenest
cub reporter, the poison, venom
Of dissipation was sapping the
life of everyone. All over the
house went the niger with his
waiter full Of glasses; all oyer
the house foated the stencil of
cheap tobacco; and all over the
house rang the echo Of the
dreadful double-damns.
It was generally supposed
that no man could go there and
stay any length Of time without
taking up their bad habits
Mighty few ever had done it
at least. But [ "toughed il
out" for six months and came
away as strong and free as J
went. It took nerve to do it

Socks Ordered Sold in Bulk by the
s. Court.

New York, March 12.-Orders clos
ing the two big department stores
operated by Henry Siegel and his part
ners, were issued today by the fed
eral court.
Judge Hough directed that the re-
ceivers, appointed Dec. 3. when the
Siegel enterprises went into bank
ruptcy, receive bids to March 81 for
the stock and assets of these stores.
The Fourteenth street store and the
Simpson x. Crawford store among the
largest in the city, were those at
fected by the court order. When the
receivership began they were allowed
to remain open and offers were made
to reorganize them without Interrupt
ton of business, in the hope that the
creditors would reap the best advan-
tage by this method.
The orders were granted today on
applfcation of the receivers.
