Have You Made Your Guess as to Identity of the Philosopher? "Who is Velvet Joe?" " That is a question which bids fair to rank with the historic ones con cerning the exact age of Ann and "Who struck Billy Patterson?' Since the philosophical sayings and verse from the pen of the sunny to bacco grower and thinker from Ken tucky first appeared in the news papers and maanines, rumors have been rife as to his identity.. Several professional humorists have already pleaded "not guilty" to the charse of being "alias Velvet Joe." And still, from out behind impenetrable mystery flashes Velvet Joe's cherry wit and tender sentiment, singing the praises of the ogod tobacco he grows in old "Kaintueky." But what matter who Joe Is. as long as his smiling face greets us as we open our morning papers, as long as his cheery "Good Evenin' " Is , a feature of the evening editions? Who is Velvet Joe? Why, don't you know? He's the patron saint of pipe smokers. He takes the place of old Santa Claus for those of us who have put on long pants and have to sliave. He's the friend who visits us by our firesides, in our shops and offices, telling us to light up our pipes and remember that clouds have silver lin ings and that if it didn't rain there.d never be any rainbows with pots of gold at the end of them. . He la the sort of optimist yoji And so often among men who love their pipes, and draw from them the sunny contentment that nuture Instills into the mellow Burley leaf. Who is Velvet Joe? Ask the man, who runs the cigar stand on the comer. He will say: "Oh, he's a friend of mine that s helping me sell Velvet Smoking To bacco. He's one of those cheerful fellows that always has time to be kind and courteous and smiling even when he's talking business. "I wish there were more like him. ' So what does it matter what Vel vet Joe's last name is? We know his face and we know his sentiments, but still Now this is merely a suggestion. If there are any Sherlock Holmeses of any investigating turn of mind in the vicinity of Lexington, in the Blue Grass Country, sub And if these inquisitive ones should run across a gentleman with a cheery disposition nnd a drooping white mus tache who showed a marked prefer ence for a tobacco called "Velvet." perhaps ... They might "have the goods" on Velvet Joe himself. Be that as ft may, we are glad to say that Velvet Joe will continue . to be a regular contributor to our col umns. .
