BEVERIDGE'S WRITING.
Ex-Senator Beveridge of Indi
ana doesn't take his unseating as
a Hoosier delegate gracefully. In
fact, he's quite peevish about it.
" And that reminds
me," said an Indiana
Taft politician, "of
the time Beveridge
got mad at a Wash
ington hotel clerk
who couldn't read.
his name on the reg
ister.
"'Young man,'
thundered Bever
idge, 'I'll have you
understand that jny
writing is no cheap
thing to be scoffed
at.'
"Beveridge was running a series
of articles in the Saturday Even
ing Post at the time, and it hap
pened that George Lorimer, edi
tor of that magazine, was stand
ing behind him waiting to regis
ter. He grinned over Beveridge's
shoulder and observed to the
elerk:
"'And that's no idle jest,
either? "

THE POOR BOOB!

"Dear Miss Libbey; I am deep
ly in love with a girl about two
years my junior. She has a Bos
ton bull dog, which does not take
to me readily, but he does to my
clothes. I have been bitten by this
animal three or four times. She
likes this dog too much to give
him up, but I know that the dog
and I could never live happily to
gether. This is the only obstacle
between our marriage. What am
I to do in this case? I think the
dog has rabies, but I am not sure.
I fear dogs greatly. R."
I am afraid the old saying,
"Love me, love my dog," would
hold true with this girl. If you
cannot get on a friendly stand
with her pet Boston bull you bet
ter try to find a girl who hasnt
the impediment of a bull pup. I
don't think there is any danger of
the dog having rabies. ,
(The Day Book suggests : Mar
ry the girl. Then kill the dera
dog.)
