IL strolling round and about, sth-
subject touched upon in this letter
from +. l. j.. who jots down some
Things that seemed to impress 90 I.
Glasses steriliIed" on the en-
amel side of an electric device
In chain store on the Avenue,
but a splash in the water and a
dry on the bar is deemed quite
sufficient.
At the beginning of the Ave
nue.. the grandest street in the
world, said Congressman,
decrepit shanties. glarIng Photo
parlors. gypsy women in the
doorways. secondhand shops of
various kinds. so-called Army
and Navy" stores. Chinatown.
souvenir places and women.
cheap hash houses. the "Far
East Noodle Factory"
The Pennsylvania avenue an.
proach TO the Capitol sight the
visitor could well duck. A Lime
house night might well be done
about the locality.
Roy X. Moulton. who makes
much ado about nothing" in ~.
New York Evening Mai, come. forth
with a statement that will doubles,
cause a great stir. In fact, T. firmly
belieVe the discussion bound to fol-
low may upset business as complete
~ as does golf. Roy calls attention
10 the fact that electric light bulb,
were first placed in Offices forty
years ago. To that all agree. but
Roy claims TO have the FIRST bulb
over his typewriter Now. Harry
Hunt takes issue and asks me to aid
IN the taking. Harry says N Roy

was right next TO it in the nrst box
shipped.
The following from the Duluth
Herald is sent me by a committe,
OF forlor nladies. who ask thar
call it to the attention of certain
gentlemen round and about:
Playing Golf.
Inc! tof themselves in curious cIoth..
mat rob the csddirs Of rpooSe
A sorter Scottish whee-vec-dee',
mat scare the brides of tht tres,
With funny. woolly leEs
Resembling piccolos and kes,
And then they walk around all day
And call IL play
They walk around from toe to 70.
And paste pellet DER tn. lea.
they walk and walk for miles and mile,
All cluttered up with aches and hiles.
Their joints are dry. their hinges sau.ak:
nheir chas>es rattle, Eroan and shriek
But on they drag their weary wRy.
And call it play"
Bur IL they had to write I, note
Or sign a cheek 'twould get theirroat
Or IL they had 20 hll a pen
rwould wear them Uut. these feeble men,
But they can prance from nag to nst
From tee TO tee. from jag to jag
10 ont a. callow youtln and ray
Return with whiskers long and gray
And have the nerve to call Il ''pIsy'
This col. OF independent thought
favors the wives this time and will
not publish the names. for there ar.
some things that even an Independ-
ent newspaper cannot do at times.
How feur Heart Goes Down.
