 of oboe Bass and Trombone Trout as delights the recipients of his lavish hospitality? For MT. De Bisschop is not only . friend ot bush and bow, bird and beast, fish and flowers. He is also Q Repub- lscan stalwart, the latch string of whose house is ever out for ell the members of tho party for whose good he lives, works, sleeps, and eats. So last Tuesday he threw an outing for the Young Republi- cans Of Waterbury, male and 3e- male. And thereby hangs . tale. Novelties
 There were naturally refresh. ments for the inner men and voc men; for their education and edi- 1ication short readings by the host from Linnaeus' immortal Genera Plantarum" in the original Latin; and for their entertainment nov- cities such as only his inventive master mind could create to wit: c baseball game between the mare ried and the single men, and . bathing beauty contest for the ladies with Q committee of wall. eyed pike as the judges. I do not know who won the baseball game nor who carried off the bathing beauty prize. On the late ter point I have . hay recollec. ton 1t was Q gel named White or Brown or Taupe. Anyway, it was something cclored-if1 the abstract of course not in bodily hue. Every- thing was going swell, Q grand time was being had by one and oil, when without the slightest preliminary warning the spirit os the Republican National Conven- tion-as reported by Good Old Bill Pape-descended upon the bosky dells of the Do Bisschop demesne and Young Republican pocket. book disappeared Into the Never- Never Land, forthwith, pronto, and for keeps.
 Help! Police!
 In the flicker of an eyelash the festive character of the outing evaporated. Gone was the delight of merry making and the gaiety of good fellows met together. La joie du vivre, esprit do corps noe blesse oblige, e plurihus unuin, the thought of winning with Landon and Knox, ell took 1t on the lam over the hills of Prospect Into the dim perspective. Then arose such Q clamor that the mother bull- heads sleeping in the depths of East Mountain Reservoir gathered their pnnic-stricken young under their fins and the snapping turtles on tho shore plunged into the dark security Of the waters. Up went the cry "IIeipl pollceW Both appeared in Q split second. Above the hullabaloo it became known that Q Young Republican fish dealer had been reft of his poke containing, it is Q pleasure to record, no money but what was of far greater value to their oWrs or, c clam opener, Q shrimp peeler. scale scraper, and Q pald.up card in the Young Republican Club of Waterbury, Conn.
 Hue and Cry!
 To the undying credit of the guests there was not 6 suggestion that everyone on the premises submit to bodily search. AS the Republican and American likes to say, "Rumor has 1t" that 6 crack did come out of tho shrubbery that the bathing beauties be given the once over but c diligent search of the spot developed nothing but Q soiled copy of "The Daily Work- or" which would indicate that the wise-cracker was Q Communist who crashed the party just to stir up trouble. It ls also rumored that tho thicketg, underhrush, chapparal and blackberry briars were gone over with . fine tooth comb to find the Democratic miss creant who must have made off with the fish dealers objects of art. None was found but the hunt b not finished. The local deteC- tive bureau is working night and day to solve the mystery; all roads leading to and from Villa Des Bisschop arc being watched by the state police, and Q carload of c. men and 0swonien was shipped out of Washington this morning by ]. Edgar Hoover with explicit instructions not to come back without the dip who pitlched tho clam opener, the shrimp pooler, and the scale scraper. The meFns bership card in the Young Re- publican Club of Waterbury is considered unimportant since it has no election day value.
 
 Condolences
 This department wishes to 60 on record as extending It's sincere condolences to Mir. DeBiesChop whose hospitality was abused, to the Young Republican Club whose outing was ruined, and especially to the fish dealer. Charley can plant Q weeping willow on the spot where the daskardly theft took place. The Young Republican Club may hold another outing, leaving all valuahles ilt the safe deposit box before hand. But what or who can restore the trust in human kind which the fish dealer had up to last TuesdAyS As always there is . moral to be
