The bear that followed Miss Nellie
Nelson thru the Adirondack noun
tains for several miles turned out to
be only poor animal looking for a
drink. Nellie was ambling along peace
fully in a mountain climbing stunt
when, on turning around, she saw
bear ten feet in the rear. Being a
brave girl and having some experience
whitening mere man with a danger
glance on the presumptious creatures
first sign Of undue familiarity, Miss
Nelson turned her optics on Bruin.
The latter betrayed only slight amuse-
ment and licked his chops. Nellie
thought his designs on her person
would not be confined to hug, for
which the bear is deservedly motor
ious. So she decided that discretion
was the better part of valor and
turned on her heel. The bear evident
ly was going in the same direction,
There was not Boy Scout or Min
ute Man of the Constitution in the
vicinity, so Nellie's heart began to
beat faster and the bear began to run
faster. AS she was losing hope, she
reached a rivulet almost simultaneous
ly with the bear. The latter stopped
right there and slaked his thirst, after
which, without even giving her a part
ing look he went his way. Miss Nelson
was disappointed after fashion. It
was rather disconcerting to learn that
the bear was not chasing her but just
looking for drink.
The Emir of Kurdistan is ordered
deported. This is to be regretted. The
DAILY WORKER took official cog
nizance of the Emir's arrival here and
expressed the wish that he might live
happy and prosperous life, if he
could only use his wits to good adj
vantage as secretary of the treasury
Fall did. The Emir had everything in
his favor-almost. He had lengthy
title, left several wives in Europe and
was prepared to take on as many
more here, discreetly of course. He
stayed at the SWEETEST hotels in New
York and swelled the deficit of some
of them. He caused futter in the
dove cots of society's debutantes. An
other Count Malm Hoogvonstaten!
People who live in luxury without
having to work are interesting. They
are even mysterious. The Emir was
one of them. He claimed descent from
one of the Oldest families in the world
and none of his ancestors ever sui
lied the family escutcheon by work
ing. The Emir announced that he had
the friendliest intentions toward
America and would accept hospitality
provided it was of the right sort. But
it was discovered that the Emir was
having a pipe dream. He made the
mistake of working for living once
and the New York 400 could not for
give him for that He was an i'm
poster. They could never let a man
who once pressed pants for a living
to press his suit on any of the -four
hundreds daughters who might like
to swap million or two for the thrill
of being married to man with title
James ]. Davis, Secretary of Labor
= was appealed to and he decided to de
port the social wolf who was willing
to become a social lion The last time
the Emir was here he had an audience
with president Harding and slapped
that kindly man on the back quite
familiarly. Poor Harding was sc
easy He had such magnetic per
sonality for crooks that an honest
man had a chance to get next to him
Au Revoir. Emir!
Because American boys are ashamed
TO be seen kissing their mothers, &
man from Kansas City, Mo-, and {
prominent Mason, suggests that an or
ganization is needed to popularize the
kissing of mothers by their children
It might be called "A Society for tn,
Advancement OF Filial Election Thru
the Repatriation Of kissing Moth
ers." In fact there is an organization
fostered by the Free Masons will
10000 young people in II and the kiss
ing Of mothers is one OF its carolina
principles The Masons are not AYERS,
to kissing mothers or wives but onl,
the recipients Of their osculator,
tokens Of affection are not their own
according to law or heredity. II the
fathers Of the young Masons consider
cd IL less OF duty than pleasure &c
