THERE IS A NAN IN OUR TOWN
| Who has a sad story to relate about
a recent banquet at the Elks' club. At
| the appointed hour of seven the mas
| ter of ceremonies invited the guests to
| the banquet room. When they were
| seated it was discovered that the guest
| of honor had not arrived. A hurried
| call was sent for him and in the mean
| time it was suggested that the diners
await his coming. On the tables were
| crackers, butter. olives and pickles.
During the long wait some starved
soul surreptitiously nibbled a cracker.
Another followed suit till soon all linn
| it was removed and a S a result when
| the thirty minute wait was over and
| the Big Gun arrived this table was
| bare. The crackers were gone-the
| butter and pickles and olives were con-
sumed and the Topeka man was nib
| bling at the peonies
