small portion of his shirt front not

STRAY STREAKS

Notice from the press that they
are killing wolves within the city of
Chicago. We knew the windy city was
a wild and woody place, in fact, we
thought too much so to harbor
wolves.
We would rather be live teetotal-
er or a private citizen than a dead
moonshiner or prohibition enforce
ment officer.
This last cold spell caused us to
divorce our old fall suit, though we'll
probably be reunited when the flow

We are looking forward to I. d.

soon after his arrival. We had a

true, and in the vision we beheld
of a rich. amber-hued color
and were convinced by tasting there

er had his hands on or about the sub
ject of our dream, the forerunner of
what is to be realization in the near
future.

in, we are not expecting much for
Xmas.
One member of the office force is

that is the silent partner part, in a
new restaurant in town, and If we
can get she and the others concern

gonna do some patronizing OF the
new consarn.
We traded with Bill Hines, the
newest meat market man until he
wanted us to pay him up. 1t made
us mad, seemed that he might be
sorter feared to trust us, so we hain't
been back there since. Bill know
ed we couldn't pay till we drew on
our hacker and that's pooled and not
delivered yet.
