that there train The Yankee Clip per for the New Haven road, 1 gos all steamed up about it. I didn't know but l might even be able to get John to support nice snappy name for that brindle heifer of mine /, that I've been trying for such 1 spell to give nom de plume. or something, to. You see this heif-r seems to be turned intelligent anl everything, so she deserves a req
 high toned name. can't very wei call her The Yankee Clipper be- cause if her hair ever does get too long I expect to clip 'er myself, Now what happens? Why I find John isn't even in the train naming buai-
 ness. I'm plumb disappointed and if I'd know it would turn out this wov l sure would have ct more cup cakes
 q. his wedding.
 'l was real amazed 10 see all tho gowns the girls in town are wearing, you might say in your paper, ant I'm sort Of glad l didn't bring my daughter, Berlyn, with me. She has just got past the hobble skirt stage now, and I'd nate to jolt her five or six years ahead. 1 will say, though, that when she hears about the shor, skirts and reaches that period or fashions she'll look mighty nic,. Nary a spavin nor a blcmish on hor knees, so she ought 10 cause quite a lot of commotion down. at .ha general store
 I'm sure glad to see that them Athyletics won the world series th,s year. We also got q few rurnors into i town q few weeks ago about some big football contest that the FoHr HorScmcn were in, but I told thr boys that couldn't be football, wiz horscmcn in It, It must be polo. got myself a polo coat a while ba.N 1 in April, I think it was by mail oI- | der, so since then I been interested | in the game.
 This story about Mr. Brookha!t and prohibition in New York sounds sort Of interesting if true,' to m. ! He may say that there is no liquo" | in New York city, but my nephew | Elisha knows better. He went down
 there on his honcymoon-nigh sol
 run over dozen times, too, he saIi a few months ago and he got in;o an awful mess with this prohibition business. Elisha has a little troubla with the nerves around his eye, so when he went into q big marble dru-;
 store and ordered up a good mug n' root bear 10 wash the automobi.. l molie off his tonsils, he scrt of Wlnked a. little, unintentional likp,
 at the chorus girl that was working there
 She served him something the like of which he never tasted be 1 fcre, he tells me. Said it had more kick than all my barrels of hard cider rolled into one. Well, he WA4 mildly surprised when they charged him a dollar, but he didn't let ou | that Ii seemed a bit steep and paid up. The stuff she had give him was so strong that he needed the root tCer even more than before, aud tired another place. They seemed sort of disappointed that he didn want one of them drug st ore tul- key dinners, or four layer sand wches, but the minute he winked they got the same kind Of littie glass out and gave him some more ot this stuff, only it was strongcr. Well, to make long story shorl tEey had to stop him from shaking hands with every policeman he saw. thinking each one was Grover Whal- en. He ended up in sort of a re frcshment parlor where they took the rest of his money and he brought home 3. souvenir that he | says Mayor Jimmie Walker himself gave 1t to him. It's big bottle thal sS ys Johnnie Walker on it, so guess it must have been Jimmic's brother he got it from.
