cuities-or-both-we were unable to assimi-
late the wheeze she offered. Will Mabel please
write it down and mail it? We read readilt

| Dear Mac: 1 see The Argus played up that
not dog stuff on the front page just if it
| were something new.
Let me say that that very stunt was orig
mated by the writer more than a year ago.
II was introduced m of my stories which
went the rounds, usual and found its way
back to the pigeonhole labeled reflections"
l submit herewith the potentiality of the
loathsome hot dog as a kick conveyor:
BY the way, Mrs. Lutte, could you
spare me wee drop from your private
stock? Just a drop will do
Sorry. There is not bit left, but
we have some lovely wieners," said Mrs
Lutte with a twinkle in her eye.
They must be good if they're of the
same brand l had when l was here be-
fore" said Baldwin: but what I crave
is some real liquor"
Mrs Lutte went to the gas plate and
from the kettle thereon she drew forth
thTee rdJHeT WlInerea, detected looking
wieners, clinging to one another She
leo them behind the bar where she in
hated them, for when they were handed
to Baldwin between two slabs of bread
they were plump and shiny, and the par
titions had been removed converting
them into one long Dachshund.
Hold your sandwich this way"-said
Mrs. Baldwin, as she adjusted it in his
hands so the sausage was vertical "and
don't press too hard
Baldwin felt the effects of his sand
witch clear down to his pet bunion. and
when he had finished eating il he nm
derstood why the demand for wienprs
was so brisk This being an experiment
Tor MIN, however, he spilled more of
tne ming on his vest than he swallowed
He was more successful in handling the
second sandwich and didn't spill drop
by the time he had consumed his fourth
one he felt that this was a good old
world after all. RAJAH
