 little playmates known as Kid" Sinclair of "bribe-arious" fame. and another youth who sails under the flag of "Dark-lantern Mclean" a very close friend of "3-basger Dau- gherty's" also. After these esteem ed gentlemen were seated and all the valuables in the audience placed out of their reach, Pitcher Walsh arose, and handing his one-karat nugget ring to a brother of Jesse James for safe-keeping. he said: Gentlemen. as our esteemed friend Ina Fall Guy and Dent N. Denby cannot be with us this morning we will have to dis pense with the lesson of strong arm work which those gentlemen men, toned are capable of teaching. and proceed to the next order of busi- ness. Kid. McAdoo. here. states that he has a scheme which he has worked numerous times. and one which he will teach to any one of us for the small sum of fifty million dollars, whereby the Treasury De- partments can be footed of their ill., gotten wealth and distributed to the poor. overworked and downtrodden politicians of thankless nation. Now, if there are any here who would like to get some inside infor- nation on this subject. just call at Bribe-arious Sinclair's office any time after midnight and before four a. m.. and see Kid McAdoo and he will
 hand out the information wanted upon receipt of check for the fee charged"
 It was about this time that gent leman from the rear of the audience arose and in a booming voice pro- claimed, q am Cocaine Forbes I don't know much about oil. gentle men, but when it comes to handing a rough deal to flock of crippled soldiers who didn't know enough to stay away from the war, Pm there a million. If there is any chance to get in on this game and play an i'm ming before the Feds draft me to Chicago. I'd admire to have that chance"
 At the finish of Cocaine Forbes chin-fest. "Fat Burns" fly-cop. leaped to his feet and yelled. "no- thing doin' gang. don't mind sep arating the helpless masses from a few millions. but draw the line at robbin' ahe crtpples. an the first man that attempts to swindle Cal will get pinched."
 It Is hard to say just what else would have taken place at this meet ing had not a messenger flown into the room and announced that gent who said he was the "Kron Prinz" was selling the White House at auc- tion and all the audience did a mar athon to the scene of the alleged auc- tion in order to get something for nothing.
