His work has a deep human appeal, and is pre sented in a simple, homely style—his articles have all the qualities of good convewation between plain people. Plain People,” by the way, is what Now, here’s how my new doodle digger is made and operates: it is composed of a wire-spring contraption very similar to that used on a mouse trap, and is attached to the big toe of the lame duck, and it is so arranged that wh^n the said lame duck wiggles the said big toe, a tiny jigger on the end of the spring revolves around and round immediately over the hole of the doodle and gradually goes down into it, and as the doodle comes up to see whatinthehell is the matter, the spring turns loose just as soon as the doodle touches it, and he is “histed” out on the side of the so-called den. fever and asthma weaken and im- the physical organism and open sates to the inroads of other dis and so they are economically opensive. Surely none of us can be iafifferent to the welfare of others. A little effort, a little expense is ily not to be considered when so of the welfare of others is at vtake. !E»ch one should consider himself a covnnittee of one to uproot and burn try journalism—though he has had many offei's, he has never consented to work in a city newspaper office. His life has been devoted to Atehin- son, Kan. By making the little town of Atchinson, Kan., his chit? interest, he has somehow found his way into the hearts of the entire world and is t 1 known wherever English is read or I spoken. And, furthermore—the lame duck will not have to go to the trouble of saying—“Doodle, doodle, come out of your hole, your house is on fire. ’ A small graphophone record is affixtjd to the digger which is hung onto the big toe as above stated, and it plays the tune—“Doodle, doodle, come out of your hole, your house is on fire,” and continues to play the same as long as the toe is wiggled. This will con serve the energy of the lame duck, but up to this time, he will have to do his own spitting, as my machine is only perfect enough to get the un suspecting doodle.
