Dear' (Sir or Madam) :
Your attention is directed to Isa
belle Carter, a young, beautiful girl
who is said to have a mania for pass
ing through WRONG doors.
The Police Department -of this city
is not concerned in this lady's activi
ties for the very reason that all her
pursuers . have been held at bay
through the power of her winking
eyes and mystic charms.
The Mysterious Isabelle is romantic
and adventurous. She would rather
engage Dan Cupid to a fight to a
finish than partake of the most mel
low tid-bits in the market.
Isabelle will pass THROUGH THE
WRONG DOOR at the but never
mind where JUST YET! We'll tell
you next week. In the meantime, be
sure very sure that she doesn't
enter YOUR wrong door.
Keep it locked!
Hastily yours,
A. Friend.

clad in a spiritual raiment who ex
claimed, "How do you do brother, I
expect to enjoy hearing you speak
this afternoon at the Chautauqua.'"
The colonel quick to recover his
equilibruim, put the good "brother"
right, who proceeded on his way with
the remark, "I ask your pardon sir,
but I am free to confess sir, that you
powerfully resemble the distinguish
ed gentleman who is billed to speak
thi3 afternoon." The Grand Valley
