SOME AID

When Mark Twain, in his early
days, was editor of a Missouri paper,
a superstitious subscriber wrote to
him saying that he had found spid-
er in his paper, and asking him
whether that was a sign of good luck
or bad. The humorist wrote him this
answer and printed it:
"Old Subscriber Finding a spider
in your paper was neither good luck
nor bad luck for you. The spider was
merely looking over our paper to see
which merchant is not advertising, so
that he can go to that store, spin his
web across the door, and lead life
of undisturbed peace ever after

Spannesh Inquisision was organized, / am
told, to discourage the enemies of society.
There seems to be little room for doubt
that it was a CRATE discurragur, and EN-
minintly qualified in the eyes of the pub

the effect that the Spannesh Inquisision
was moor gennerelly fatel to the commune

spite of this they seemed to have sum way
of finding out how EVERY boldly stood and
when a man was against the adminnistra-
sion they used the lnquisision on him with
CRATE effect. 1t certainly kept the boys in
line frum all accounts and no one seriously
thought of boiling the ticket. If Teddy
had one of those lnquisisions he mite be
abull to keep the Bull Moose crowd in one

proposes to remain very newtral and
keep out of the war. He is happy ovver
the friendly relasions that exists between
Spane and luther counties and insists that
he proposes to keep them that way Gwen
if he has to mobbelize the standing army
to do it.
Alfonso is populer with his peepul; in
