ly peeved. Peevishness gave way -
anger and it was not long until friend
husband was seeing red. He went to
Betty's snug little flat over Holmberg' 8
drug store at TIA Tower avenue and
started rough house. He not only
chased Betty around the place until
she painted like hunted fawn, but he
was 80 rude as to fire four shots at her
with his big pocket cannon. Luckily,
every shot went wild and none of them
penetrated Betty's pulchritudinous per-
son. The fair but frail Betty laid in
hiding behind Holmberg's historic drug
store until Bob Dillon cooled off.
Many high stopper in Bingoland
will be surprised to know that Betty
West has a husband. It seems that
she actually does possess such piece Of
human furniture and that his name is
Bob Dillon. Hubby Dillon formerly
conducted saloon in Superior and,
when the classic old burg went dry, he
sold the place to Claude Torrance for
$40. That was when Claude became a
purveyor Of soft drinks with hard
kicks in dear old Bingoland.
Betty West has been a prominent
redlight resident in Bingoland for some
years. She has managed to maintain
a holdout over Holmberg's drug store
and to possess enough Of a pull to es-
APE serious damage from the hounds Of
the law.
When Mayor Baxter was giving his
famous Get-out-of-town parties, Betty
West decided on safety first, therefore
she spent considerable time in Duluth,
advancing the cause Of low moral en-

CLEANING UP.

We've closed up all the booze ba-

hat once were full of gin; we re out
% shoe away all vice, and make the
people sweet and nice, and rid the
world of sin.
You we doubtless heard that we have
planned to drive tobacco from the Land,
and how the sinner sweats! He knows
the day is drawing nigh when he can t
take his roll and buy alfalfa cigarettes.
The man who chews the filthy weed
in vain for further chews will plead,
when we have done our worst; and
meerschaum pipes, and pipes Of clay,
and briers, too, must fade away, for
they are things accurst. Wen make
this world so good, visit, that none
but saints can here exist, and sinful
men will say they'd rather in the bone
yard snooze than live where morals
never lose their lustre for day.
Each town will have its curfew bell,
and when you hear the solemn knell,
you II promptly hit the straw; at nine
O'Clock all lights 60 out, and any gent
who hangs about will be suppressed by
law.
The, wicked things that grieve and
shock are framed up after nine o'clock,
as all good peelers know; and when
all folks are sent to bed, the wicked
man won't use his head to plan new
kinds Of woe.
The theaters will close their doors;
the theaters have long been bores to
every sanity man; the actress, in her
scanty gown, who blights the morals
Of the town, will be an also ran. The
theaters are disgrace; on every lep:
rous spot we place our healing moral
salves;- we saints have never thought
It nice to see Eliza cross the ice, ex-
