special car. He told him TO hurry Up,
to make no stops. and to remember
always that this was his (Bevo's) own
specially conducted party. The chauf-
feur understood. He done noble.
There were no delays, thus making a
unique record for the W, B. and A.
NOW boys" said Bevo, wiping his
lips, "lets go upstairs, where have
for you q real banquet. When I start
out to do anything, it's always q sue
cess. You know me, Al"
Because they did know Bevo, the
gang was surprised to hnd that II was

Belt Eats Oysters.
After the customary appetizer, the
gang went to work on the oysters,
Irving Belt cleaned up eighteen, al
lowing they were right good for this
time o. year"
Bevo personally presented TO each
and every one Of the gang two boxes
Of toasted cigarettes and three cigars,
not to mention q box Of war matches.
We know they're war matches be-
cause the sign on the box reads
"Westervilxs Tandsticlkfabriks Paraf-I
dnerade -TandstickoT." AZ
ter you get through reading this sign,
you forget that the match hasn't
blazed up yet-or ever.
Being bashful to an extreme de-
gree, Bevo permitted Dusty" Miller
to act as master Of ceremonies. Bevo
would've done that work, except that
his soup and fish was hired out for
the evening and he didn't want TO
start any new styles for these affairs.
Since the war workers came to Wash

letting out that soup and hsh-Only
he's got to have a new lining put in
soon and have some OF the soup taken
on the lapels. II isn't stylish any
more to have soup on the lapels. It
can't be any higher than the middle
button.

knows him-was Dusty Miller's frst
speaker. Captain Dan went back to

snappy speech, and Fletcher BOwden,

and waFbled syllables that made q hit.

cOuntry's industries. His address was
the main event OF the after dinner

BY this time, however, the demand
for Bevo was overwhelming. BeVo's
specially trained claque was right on
the job, obeyinE their masters orders
to the letter.
I'VE want Bevog" they shouted in
chorus.
Finally. blushing in his embarrass- /
ment, Bevo rose and quite captured
the honors OF the night when he said, |
with tears in his voice and a sprig |
OF celery in his buttonhole,
Brown makes no speech"
n When that glad news was spread /
among the diners, the cheers became |

marvellous record. He would surely /
go down in the annals OF the assOcia- |
tiOn as its greatest benefactOF.
