Elmer's Father became a Demon

from Jumpers to Tuxedos, the Sis

THE WANDERING BOY AND THE MAYNARD PARENT

Uncle Jethro, both Of whom had
told around that he was a Gnat
(Net) and never would amount to
q Hill Of Beans.
Elmer expected to find the same
spotted Dog asleep in front Of the
Commercial Hotel and the same
Stick Candy exhibited in the Show
Windows.
But. while he had been witness
ing the downfall of Evil in the
busy Metropolis, the Home Town
had been putting on a little Side
Show of Its own.
Like every other undersized
Hamlet shown in the Atlas II was
seized with a Desire to throw on
City Lugs.
The same Father who once
marked Talmage Book for Elmer
became Chairman of the House
Committee in a club which, hav-
ing the moral support Of the Beat
People, maintained a Blind Pig,
two playful Kitties upstairs. and
q lot Of Gay Dogs spread out on
the upholstered Chairs. It GER
tainly proved to be some Nc
nagerie.
1t was a matter Of Pride with the
Members that the Colored Boy
could still shake up anything
known to the Regular Trade any.

One Of their main Delights, also,
was to welcome the Stranger, who
thought he was sojourning among
the Rubes. and lead him into the
Roodle Department, the purpose
being to get him out on a Limb
and then saw off the Limb. The
newcomer who tried to be Liberal

While they were making these
grim Preparations. Elmer was
doubled up in Section 8, reading a
sterilized Magazine from Boston.
Subconsciousiy he counted the
peaceful Days that would ensue.
He figured on going back to the
dear old Room under the Eaves,
with a patchwork Quilt on the
F'our-Poster and a Steel Engraving
of U. s. Grant on the Wall.
A RUNNING START.
The sanctified Product Of the
new and regenerative influences
at work In every City was plunk-
ed down in the Hot-bed Of Gaiety
at about 4 p. m.
The Comrades Of his Boyhood
were massed on the Platform. AS
he alighted, they sang, Hail! Hail!
the gangs All HereT and so on
and so on.
They had acquired a running
Start. 1t was their belief that
Elmer would be gratified to know
that all the Elect had become
spiffed in his Honor, but their Dis.
may was genuine when he tmidly
informed the Irrigation Commit
tee that he desired Vichy.
Escaping from the Comanches,
he hurried to the Old Homestead
to cit by the Crate Fire and tease

He found Pa and Ma dolled up

RASTUS WAS WISER.

Rastus was a renowned thief.
Once he over-reached himself. and
was brought up for trial. The
Judge, to be quite fair. appointed
two lawyers for him. Consult
with them," he said. 'and then
tell me whether you are guilty or
not guilty"
Rastus talked to the two
lawyers. The judge heard the word
''alibf" repeated several times by
the darky, and saw the lawyers
shake their heads frequently.
Finally Rastus turned to the
Judge and said:
"Jedge, yoh honah, Use only a
ignorant niggah. an don't want
to bothah yoh, but All would
suttinly like to trade one Of desc
lawyahs foh a witness"
