ife and the folks at the office
a just as long as they could
u they sent me to a doctor*
1 out a combination livereart-kidney-gizaand-isUimmick
i and I dropped intoTws ofjally
the other morning and
my hut on his hat rack and
ff and I askedi the girl why
hunder they diddent buy a
t-rack with all the money

his little shirt-tail and said
tan, you're next." (I ought
been next-?I was the only

into his private office. He
me over towar^ a 3-legged
j said: "?gt down" and I
worked on a little knif6
ing needle about 45 /minutes
put them down and came
;iv<> me the once over.
st thing that "innards-carv:o
me was: "What's a-matter

He walked into the other room, i

nearly midnight, then I went by the I
drug store and got 6 cents worth of ;

Wonder Jf I|e Stays Out Nights?
I read in the papers where a .South
Carolina dog chews tobacco! Why,
the rabbit-chasing scoundrel ought to
be ashamed of himself. Next thing
you know, he'll be doing the blindfold
cigarette test.
Competition Not Allowed
The other day I bought an upper
berth in a Pullman for $4.75. I had
already bought my railroad ticket,
and of course I could have ridden in
the day coach or on the rods, but
after giving the fellow all the money
1 had for these preparations to ride,
he asked nie if I wanted any accident
insurance. I replied: "Nope, I guess
not. The accident has already hap-1
pened ?I ran into you." The train 1
was almost empty?onner-count of
the war-price of fare.
Cotton Letter
New York, Oct. 12.?Light frosts
in the Panhandle and rain in the
interior forced Liverpool to come in
as due in sympathy with Brazil.
Hedging and straddling prevented
further breaks in the nearby months,
but bank clearings were satisfactory
to the bears, therefore?southern selling
had begun to take place when
the longs caught the shorts shorter
on Decembers than Julys. Some covering
took place in the west where
snow fell, but when a fair cloth inquiry
came in from China, February
ruled lower and petticoats eased off
with the clothes.
This Way, Fellers!
County fairs and state fairs have
been held all over hte country. We
had one,: too. 1 was especially
struck with some of our exhibits?
j one man hit me with an ear of corn
and a woman biffed me with a biscuit.
We had a nice carnival with
our fair and without a carnival, a
fair wouldn't be much of a show. I
was agreeably surprised at the fine
hoochy-koochy and the Poland China
pigs, and the Hula-Hula girls and
the canned vegetables were also
mighty attractive, and so was the
fortune teller and the pthei chickens,
as well as the crazy house and the
pumpkin display.
Off Again, On Again
Trouble has already started with
me and my heavies. I put 'em on
Monday and took 'em off Tuesday,
and it turned cold again that night,
and I repeated the performance, and
took the weather man's word for it
Thursday and almost froze to death
from east wind, so I then and there
made up my mind to put 'em on and
keep 'em on, weather or not, and ii
July ever got any hotter than it was
two days after that resolution was
" carried, I do not recall it, so I've
changed again. The little Armenians
and the rummage sales gotmy
best on^s. (Ker-choo, Ker-choo-ey)

Clairsville, O., Nov. 11.?Angered
over failure of a grocery *to?? ,
to close in observance of Armistice
,ay? group of Belmont county
? orld war veterans Joday hurled
tear bombs into the phice. Patrons
and employes were forced to flee,
gasping for ajri
1 he platoon of soldiers, wearing
steel helmets and carrying rifles,
was led to the store by C. W. Fowler,
commander of the Belmont
county American legion. He did
?iot enter. Nelson McQuillan, a
former officer of the Ohio "40 and
K, fun society of the American Legion,
was among, those who went
inside.
McQuillen said the veterans "considered
it their right to close the
store on' Armistice IXay just the same
us they would protest any attempt
of anyone to tear down the American
flag."
After the bombing McQuillen posted
a notice on the window reading:
Closed for the day." Employes
mude no effort to reopen the store.
1 he .bursting of the tear gas bombs
in the store, created more excitement
in this city than any event since the
news of the signing of the armistice
a dozeh years ago.
Operators of the store protested
against the'attack to Mayer C. D.
Bradfield but no charges were filed.
The Mayor said his proclamation
calling for closing of all stores was
i not mandatory but that he intended
asking council to pass an ordinance
i requiring armistice day closing here|
after.
