ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By Olive Barton Roberts

The next letter that Nancy picked
up from the bundle of "lost letters"
in Mr.. Stamps pAstoffice in tha
hickory tree was addressed to Mr..
Rub A. Dub, Scrub-Up Land.
1t hadn't been delivered because
the writing was so bad nobody could
read it, but the Twins, with their
magical glasses, had no trouble al:
all.
"Mr. Rub A. Dub!" exclaimed the
fairly postmaster. "Why, land alive,
ne hasn't received letter for blue
moon. He generally gets a stack
along nearly in the spring when
everybody has to go to him for a
spring cleaning. Because everybody
hates soap and water and they all

"Shall we take it. to Mr.. Rub A.
Dub?" asked Nancy.
IF you please, ma'am, if YOU
please" said Mr.. Stamps, turning
aawy to tell, Scramble Squirrel that
there was no mail for him that day.
Off to Scrub-Up Land went the
Twins and found Mr.. Rub A. Dub
boiling soft soap and getting ready
for his spring cleaning.
Hello, kiddies!" he cried. "What!
A letter! Well. I declared"
He tore it open and read:
Dear Mr.. Rubadub:
"Please don't you think I am clean
enough without scrubbing me this
time. I hate water, and l always

ALIMONY FOR MEN

If the doctrine of absolutely
equal right and equal responsible
ity under the law is to obtain as

women may follow as part of the
price. That is, unless mere man
displays sufficient weakness to adj

ideas rather than to take what

regime.
Sometimes alimony is nothing
but graft. and those who seek it.,

Let out the English as the only
people who don't get American
jokes!
Once on time, as most people
will recall, William J. Bryan ran
for president and his running mate
was Henry Gassaway Davis.
At dinner one of the guests re-
marked that if Bryan were elected
the presidency and vice presidency
would be all in the family, since
Bryan was related to Davis through
the latter's middle name.
How. Interestingly" said a lady
who was distantly related to Mr..
Bryan: II never knew before that
there was any relation"
On a subsequent occasion the .
same guest told the story with evil
dent relish to Mr.. Davis himself.
Mr.. Davis looked puzzled, then re-
marked: well, I've never looked up
my family tree. but that's the first
time I've heard Twas related to
Bryan"
