He resolved to Marry and get
away from the Bright Lights and
Lie down somewhere in a quilted

of his Life to a grand cleanup OF
the Works Of Arnold Bennett.
He selected a well-seasoned Seno-

CERTAIN afnuent Bachelor
~ happened to be the only
Grandson of a rugged Early
Settler who wore a Coon-Skin Cap
and drank Corn Juice out of a jug.
Away back in the days when every
Poor Man had Bacon in the Smoke
House. this Pioneer had been soaked
In a Trade and found himself
loaded up with a Swamp Subdi-
vision In the Edge of Town.
Fifty years later the City had
spread two miles beyond the Swamp
and Grandson was submerged be-
meath 80 much Unearned Increment
that he began to speak with what
sounded to him like an English Ac-
cent and his Shirts were ordered
from Paris.
On the LIST of Every Month the
Agents would crawl into the Pres

Muskrat Hunter and dump before
him a Wagon-load Of Paper Money

aforesaid Bachelor whose Grand
father had lifted the original Catfish
out of the Chicago River.
Then the Representative of the
Old Family would take a Garden
Rake and pattern all this hateful
Currency into a neat Mound, after
which a Milk-fed Secretary would
iron It out and disinfect 1t and
sprinkle it with Lilac Water and
tie 1t into artistic Packets. using
Old Gold Ribbon.

a Menu Card gave him the Willies
and tho mere mention Of Musical
Comedy would cause him to break
down and Cry like a Child.
He had crossed the Atlantic 30
often that he no longer wished to
sit at the Captains Table. He had

watched the Durbar at Delhi and
