Then everybody could hear Chief Long
street beginning sternly how Councilman
Mickelman was just murdered in the i'm
mediate vicinity and asking Hon. Quinn
what he had to say for himself. But at
first the only thing Chief Longstreet's
stern third degree could force out of the
suspect was to admit that all Hon. Quinn
could say for himself was that the news
seemed too good to be true.
"Ah my friend" cried Hon. Quinn then
eloquently, he advancing out to the edge
of the stoop like he was addressing big
crowd, so is it always with life! No cynic
am I, friend, yet always I misdoubt the
grandest of news until"
But Chief Longstreet broke in on the
grafton to brutally ask Hon. Quinn several
pointed questions. But Hon. Quinn broke
in on the first pointed question, he saying
that il Chief Longstreet didn't get to
Hatch off his front stoop with his insinu-
atons he Hon. Quinn, would lift him one
that would jolt Chief Longstreet naked
from his nickel star to the suspender but
tons on the back Of his pants-and also his
revolver
Chief said later he was about to take his
man into custody at that instant. But at
that instant both the Durkin twins came
running yelling that Hon. Luther Nickel
mans body had just been found.
Then Il came out how Councilman j.
Wesley Mickelman. searching frantically
for his cousin Luther's dead body, looked
in the vacant Fire House and saw Council
man Luther Mickelmau standing rigid and
alone facing the Chairman's vatant chair.
Next It came out how Wes Mickelman upon
crying out angrily, you poor fathead
Luther, what's the big idea?" Luther ex-
planned he was determined to get the floor
ahead of Hon. Quinn when Council opened
at 8, even if he had to stand from 5:45
p. NJ. without supper. So everybody raced
to Fire House for Council meeting, all
feeling it looked like there would be a
panic at Council.

Timely Talk
BY FRANK WARD o'MALLEY.

BURRsvILIE City, Dec. "a.
THE biggest excitement and panic ever
known in this Borough happened
between suppertime and the open
ing of the regular Friday night meeting of
Borough Council in the Fire House last
night
Councilman Luther Mlckelman's been
murdered"
This cry was shouted in the gathering
night up and down N. and S. Main. Citi-
zens were running out everywhere from
supper cranking their Fords in the cold
without hats Many were seen to turn
into N. Main on two wheels so hurriedly
their supper napkins were still tucked in
their collars.
1t was the biggest excitement and panic
here since Hon. Cornelius F. X Quinn re-
Gently retired from his big contracting
business and politics in the metropolis and
settled here just in time to run success
fully for Borough Council.
There was frenzy everywhere when it
came out how Mrs Councilman Luther
Mickelman had reported to Chief of Police
Herb Longstreet that Councilman Nickel
man had not come home from closing
Mickelman G. Sons Ford Agency e Garage
to supper and was murdered in cold blood.
probably by an enemy
Everybody gathering In ~ Main remem-
bered right away how enmity and bad
blood had lately arisen between Hon.
Luther Mickelman and Hon. Cornelius f.
x. Quinn ever since Hon. Quinn started
making a speech all through all Borough
Council meetings Friday nights and mo-
nopolizing the floor from Hon. Mickelman
and everybody So everybody raced home
in their flivvers for their revolver and
started out to help Chief Longstreet on
the case.
Before 1880 everybody reported to Chief
that Councilman Mickelman wasn't alive
IN any house, store or street, the only
house no one tried TO search being Hon
Quinn's.
The only clew known was that Lawyer
Ed Seeley, the last to see the unfortunate
man alive saw Hon. Mickelman hurrying
south on N. Main just before supper, OF
Just IN time to bring the unfortunate man
under the lonely dark elms In front Of Hon.
Quinn's palatial new mansion N. Main and
Prettyman, before the n Main arc light
was turned on at 6.
Everybody was for going to He ) Qunn's
mansion and accusing him of til; murder
to see what he had to say, but it was de-
cided not to interfere with Chief Long
streets affairs but let him do his duty.
So Chief Longstreet. after running down
several clews, said let the chips fall where
they may and went fearlessly up on Hon.
Quinn's handsome stoop and rang the bell.
Everybody hiding behind shrubbery in
the front yard saw that Hon. Quinn had

There would have been a panic only for

slogan in Rochester. The next week there
may be another ta'1ors' convention In Paris,
and some French nilliner will rise and say
that the pant is doomed, and that man must
go back to the beautiful styles that prevailed
In the time of Louis Q.atorze when all the
men wore lace cuffs and Martha Washington
wigs
You may well say: Pooh! Fancy the
pant going out Ridiculous!" But let this
writer, stanch and firm wearer of the pant,
and one who will fight to the end rather than
abandon the garment for any dressmaker,
remind you that people poohed prohibition
five years ago. They said: Pooh! Fancy
booze going out Ridiculousl" much in the
same manner. Look at them now, running
around parched. Five years from now they
may be rushing around painless as well
We hold no particular brief for the pant
1t needs none of our pleading. II is firmly
enough established. There Is no danger OF
any man sallying forth on the streets of any
siZeable city In America to-day without this
garment. Modern history, that is, history
since the time of the invention of the pant,
records no instance of any man doing such
4 thing except In the case of q fire in a
Turkish bath in Brooklyn at midnight on
February 81, 1920, when twenty-seven men,
but were excused because the fire was deemed
a circumstance beyond the control of any
ono except the proprietor.
The situation amounts TO just this: the
pant can get along without man, but man
cannot get along without the pant. You can
take his vest from him and he will laugh you
TO scorn. You can take his coat, and he will
get another, but who steals my pant gets
rashl" Cicero De Senectute).
It is part of the insidious propaganda OF
these dressmakers and renegade tailors to
point to the part the skirt has played In his
tory. and then ask what the pant has done.
IT is our intention to answer that conten-
tion by the peculiar and wonderful cases of
Whitley and Buck Jones. Anyway, heaven
knows the skirt has been on earth long
enough to accomplish something. History
records no time when women failed to 60
about without a skirt. except in the case OF
Eve.
And having gone thus far, dear reader, In
discussing some OF the philosophical aspects
of the pant, we will take up next week part
of its history and evolution and tell of q
tragedy incidental thereto.
The New York herald., 1921-12-25

Il guess this pant will about fit him?" He
certainly did
you may be wearing the skirt instead of
the pant before long" we said to Whitley.
Rage suffused Whitey's cheek as the dawn
suffuses the horizon or practically so.
Where d'y'get that skot stuff" he de-
manded. "Whatcha tryin' t'do, kid some
body or somethin'?"
The remark however was not made in
Jest nor with any attempt to obtain possess
sion of Whitey's goat. There Is a movement
afoot to unseat the pant. This insidious,
persistent propaganda has as its object the
destruction of the garment now employed
as a protective covering from the belt line
to the shoe lin the case of male adults) or
from the belt line to the knee Gin the case
of male juniors).
Every once in While some evidence Of
this sly movement crops up In the daily
press. One may read of tailors conven-
ton at which a tailor rises to remark that
the modern pant is a hideous thing; that 1t
is and should be doomed to 80, and that it
will be supplanted by e. graceful garment,
thing of beauty and Joy forever, namely,
the skirt.
IL this particular tailor doesn't mention
the skirt he may recommend the old fash
ioned silk knee pant with lace ruffles. A
skirt would be much better than that Or he
may favor the Grecian sheet and want us
all to 20 around looking like the hot room
In Turkish bath or Saturday night. They
all agree on one point-t1e pant must go.
Now, Il doesn't take Glass A Edison man
to figure out that the tailor who makes
this sort of speech is not a tailor at all but
a dressmaker in dsguse' Yet our editors,
most of them indeed men, continue to print
these sly digs What's more, they print
them as they sit in their comfortable chairs,
content in that feeling of responsibility and
superiority (What male has not experienced
it?) engendered by the knowledge that one
Is securely encased in a good solid old blue
serge (any other color or material will do)
pant, supplemented and augmented by
reliable pair of suspenders
This tailors' convention may take place In
Denver or Kansas City. You may rest as
sured 1t never takes plac, in Rochester or
Chicago where they rake the pant on
