SOME JOKE

It is rumored that the Shackleford committee appointed to nominate a Republican candidate for delegate to congress has about decided to tender Al White, of Valdez and Port Wells, the nomination. This would be emi- nently fitting, because a man that has the ability to have himself elected a delegate to a convention from Valdez and then proceed to Port Wells, hold another caucus and represent both localities in person in the same con vention will cause Wickersham to shake in his boots.-Cordova Times.

 CLEVELAND, May 1O.-SpoOning will be o. K. in Cleveland parks which opened today. City officials though differing in their definitions believe spOoning should be encourag- ed.

 "When the band plays ragtime and the moon plays peek-a-bOo,

 Slipping round a slim waist, do you?"

 Suppose the hearts of two lovers had decided henceforth to beat as one," said Fitzgerald. "WhO would deny them one discreet kiss?"
 "The law wouldn't"
