Democrats Pen

-pictures on this page and then if you
are not prepared to say they are the
hest looking group you ever saw,
we're prepared to take any adverse
opinion as an insult and demand you
1--WE us satisfaction. We will choose
pistols and coffee, at three hundred
yards, the time on the dark of the
noon, and good open space behind
uB-in case.
I want you to know that's the best
hooking office force in the state and
they all work for the best looking
weekly newspaper in the world-wait
. minute, maybe I'm "kiverin" too
much territory. Anyhow, you read
and let me know. If you don't take it,
now's the time to subscribe.
Now, you see that lady dominating
the bunch? That's Miss Young, and
she says she'll always be young if
somebody better than she has seen
yet in the way of the man sex doesn't
come around. She thinks the speci-
mems that have drifted her way must
be discarded from some of the flot-
sam and jetsam thrown over by old
Noah from the Ark; and the breed
doesn't improve very fast. She's
rather choosy if you stop to think a.
bout it, and that isn't always bad
characteristic.
/ Just want to tell you people this
Young lady is boss of the ranch. We
DO what she tells us or she wants to
know the reason why; she must have
q very good one or we don't get by.
She may be Young, but she knows a
lot for the distance she's gone, and
there's no limit to the distance she
still win 60 to give you the advanta-
ges Of the Democrats columns.
That fellow dressed up in black
looks like he might have eaten some
thing that did not agree with him, if
you should Judge by the position and
location of his clasped hands. But
the seraphic smile no his face would
belle the suspicion that he swallowed
some green apples.
That's Stuart VESSELS, an old Do
Minion product. He used to pound
the linotypewriter SO fast the sound
Of the keys was like big hailstones
falling on a tin roof. He ground out
metal SO fast, it was hard to keep him
IA copy. Consequently, he was recent
" transferred to the foremanship of
the composing room. He says he can't
travel so fast on that track, but soon
Is he feels little more at home he'll
kick up the dust worse than Whirla-
way. He needs some foot to keep him
ahead Of the game where he is.
The young gentleman with the hat
on would seem to indicate he thinks
he loks better in his chapeau; but if
the secret be told, he has very high
forehead; it begins almost at the
back of his neck and comes around in
Aagraceful arch to the bridge of his
nose. He thinks that is crime a.
gainst his youthful years, and his hat
makes him look his age. That's Norris
HEkeeter" Willing. He's willing to do
most anything even to fight it out
with a good thick steak smothered in
onions. He's been round here some
time now and be runs the presses,
runs melted lead in the mats, runs
errands when it's for something to
eat-and runs a home where he has
two millions dollars worth of wife
and boy.
There's another fellow with his
head covered up with cap. Some
body said he had brick inside that
head gear to help him keep his mouth
shut down on his tobacco quid. III
bet he's as good a judge of this
American product as there is in the
TWO hemispheres. He's been printer
since Adam was boy, and what he
doesn't. know isn't worth knowing
he worked in Newtown, and he's for.
gotten more than these kids he's
working with will ever find out
That's Capt. Jimmy Covington. he
wears that cap so much don't be.
iieve he knew where it was when hi
stood before the camera. And DOM
know either whether he took the
time to spit when the photographer
told him to look pretty. He's all right
tho, Capt. Jimmy is.
That youngster who looks in the
picture like he was all fixed to bale
out from stalled airplane is Charlie
Roger, of N. Y. State. He says he
hasn't felt well since the World Series
Of baseball games, but he heard of q
trade the Dodge y made recently, and
he has sure forced smile to his fea-
lures. He's from Brooklyn, as you
may have suspected. He's taken the
