A Chicago Alderman says three fire.
men offered him brbe. AS matter
OF course he refused it. Everything %
on large scale in Chicago, and a hribe
that can be carried about by three
firemen isn't worth an Alderman's con-
sideration.

THE LAST QUESTION.
Precocious Otfspr.ng-Pa, may | ask
just one more question?
Patient Pater-Yes, my son. Just
one more.
Precocious Offspring-Well, then.

it's the day that breaks?-Chicago
