Mr. c. l.. Mitchell, it seems, has
his picture in a Kansas City paper. He
received in one mail this morning.
clippings from the paper sent by half
a dozen of the people he knows, and

with him. He wears them when he
Is to be pail bearer at a funeral or
usher at wedding. Otherwise, there
is no criticism of the artists fanciful
picture of C. L. Mitchell.
