cate subject as this could not be
placed In better hands for all three
seemed to be just overcome with joy.
As we passed a large .departmen
store, we were attracted by something
in a window filled with toys. At first
we thought 1t was q huge billiken
doll, but 1t was only Buggy" Felt,

making quite a hit in his new posi-

When we heard the sounds of
waves in the next star, we knew we
We're at the shore, and the most
prominent people there are Willie
Gregory and Merton Lamb. They are
in the, hotel business, and when we
saw them they we're answering let
ter from a would-be guest, who de-
sired two large rooms facing the
ocean, with private bath. At Willie's
dictation, Merton was writing the
following Dear Sir; All rooms face
the ocean, and that's your bath"
The sight of two young ladies. WAC
were such great pals at school, hav-
ing an argument, would cause anyone
to look twice and more too; when the
girls were Hazel Talmadge and Haz-
ell Duncanson. It seemed that they
were in doubt as to the nature Of the
selection that is played SO frequent
ly, at weddings. Miss Talmadge
thought it was the Sweet Dreams"
waltz, but Miss Duncanson thought it
was the Battle hymn of the Repub-
lic"
Marty Horwitz now owns a hard
ware shop, and Vincent Glyne. the
ever obliging, is his head clerk. While
we were waiting for chance to
speak to the boys. a very wild eyed
young man rushed In ond cried IT
want some poison, quick he was
Allen Moore. Vincent, as obliging as
ever replied this is hardware
store, but we have fine line OF ropes
revolvers and razors.
Louis Thompson our artist, is a
famous painter in New York. Tom
mys ability has won him many laur-
els. but the most that he is drawing
at present are his breath and Gold
Medal Flour signs.
Running down the street at mod
est gait we saw, Angela Curtin, and
Bess Conlon. Both girls are keeping
house, that is, a sort Of Bachelor
Quarters, for, they still seem to be
man shy.
Clarence sandstron1, the camera
man, is now in the moving picture
business. When patrons enter the
theater. they are seized by a couple
OF huskies who throw them around
until they are dizzy. Then they see
plenty oS moving pictures. It might
also be well to check your valuables
before entering.
Great was our amazement when on
looking into the next star, we saw
Leland Hoar, presiding over a meet
ing of auto racing men. Barney
looked real cute with his feet on the
table, and a huge cigar in his mouth.
The present discussion concerned an
automobile tour Of all parts of the
world and Mexico.
AS we came out Of the meeting
place, we saw a large parade which
was making its way toward Broad
street. We learned that it was the
Expressmen's Union. Just then a
large moving van came by4swith all
the dignitaries in it.
The most distinguished of them all,
was the driver, and he was no other
than our pal, Dutch Leist,'' and
Iippy Fay Of the Thigh school He
was our laxiest member you know.
was president of the Ex-
Union, and the parade was
IN his honor. This we easily UNDER
stood when we saw our rube twins,
raul and Philip Camp, carrying a
banner, on which it said: Vote for
Lest, the Workingman's Friend.
You see Dutch was candidate for
Tor the town farm job.
we followed the parade, and when
ii stopped, we drew nearer to hear
he speakers The first was q young
man who told q few jokes to keep the
audience in good humor. we knew
Nv his ready smile that 1t was AL
Johnson. Following him came the
speaker of the evening At first we
failed to recognize the dignif1ed per-
son with the high hat, cane and Van
Dyke beard, but when ne was intro
duced by Dutch we found it was
&c hnny barrow. Johnny IS most ex-
Alted ruler Of the Ancient and Be-
Order OF 'Glooks,''' and is
Dutch's biggest political ally.
A more striking illustration of the
lioness and the lamb could not be
found, than when we saw Anna Lip
man and Helen Kutcher, on a plat
form before an immense gathering of
pleading for funds to provide
4 home for homeless hoboes. While
Anna strove by loud and eloquent orr
guments to sway her hearers, Helen,
who always maintained that silence
was golden, tried to convince them. by
smiling sweetly and saying nothing.
Beatrice Zeitlin and Rose Welinsky
are scientists. Their most notable feat
was the tanning of the savage onion,
which was accomplished by robbing it
CT its strength. They are now work
lng on the subject of homeless bananas.
