The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-12-09

IF memory serves us rightly-and if mem
DRY doesn't the colyum files dove suggested
that future contributions be accompanied by
a cash donation for The ARGUS Santa Claus.
Now here's Eteocles and Cactus using this
department for wicked wallops at each other
and nary a donation for poor old Santa.
What's the matter? What's the matter ?
What's the natter"
AND ECHO ANSWERS: AMT WE GOT
FUN"
1t is fitting that Cactus should elect
Eteocles for her king
For wasn't Etc king in Greece
coupla parasangs back?
And they didn't wear cheaters
In those days:
And little thing like previous marriage
Didn't spoil the scenery for anyone.
But Gao wants him
To nail a gunny sack on the wall and
Everybody that goes past it! -.
I've had a can tiled to me,
But isn't mailing a gunny sack to one
Cruel and unusual?
Mac. do you recall that Etc once in an
aside said he was using his old n. de D.? That
sure puzzled me until l found that Etc and his
brother, Polyneices, fought a duel and both
were slain. But EteOeles was the only one
that was buried. Why? Either he was spoiled
or they thought he would spoil. This leads me
to the conclusion that ODecay must know
something about this mystery. RORY
THOUGH the logic of Rory would seem
wellnigh in-allible we regret that we are I'M
able to allow the claim that EteocIes and O.
D. K are one. o. D. K. is sweet tempered
friend of ours, while this bird Eteocles strikes
US as the sort of chap who would say There
amt no Sanity Claus"
