ThVe would at least give the stars more publicity, though the Lord knows one becomes weary enough now, reading of what they eat for supper, what color tie they wear, and whether lace or but ton shoes. Ugh? The ice cream parlors in small towns will miss the patronage of the soldier boy and his sweetheart. Every time a freight train whistles some folk rush to the postoffice and inquire for mail. Vigilantes in Butte, Mont., lynched Frank Little, an "Industrial, Worker of the World ' leader," according to news dispatches. One report has it that "Little was in the employ of a prominent detective agency and one theory is that he' was the victim of the radical element of whom he ap peared to be a member." Be this as it may. Little, in a speech at Butte is reported to have said of United States soldiers, that they were "Uncle Sam's scabs in uniform." The only, com ment I have to make,, is, that any man, in my opinion, an I. W. W. or any other who makes such a decla ration, should be immediately hung or shot, and no questions asked.;- Ugh? .

' A man who had on less clothes than the law allowed was running up Walnut street (in fact he had on only an undershirt) and strangest of all there were two pret ty girls pursuing him. 1 ' I stood still and watched in amaze ment. The man was a better runner than the girls, not being impeded' by any clothes, and he paid no attention to the girls who were calling: "Here, come on back and put on your pants." ' Finally he stopped In front of Judge Eakin's house on Walnut street, and pretty soon the girls caught up and grabbed the man by the arms. Judge Eakin, who sleeps on a sleep ing porch, stuck hie head out and recognized the girls as nurses from the Grande Ronde Hospital and called out: ' . , . ' ' "What's the matter, girls, do you need any help?" The nurses answered no, but that they were trying to persuade a pat ient who was out of his head to put on his pants. "Well," said the Judge, "you girls just wait until I put on mine, and I will be right down." So the judge dressed hastily and went down. No sooner did he arrive on the scene, when the patient Who was demented said, "Why there's my long lost brother now." It seems that he thought his brother was missing. So he put his arms around the judge and like two boon companions they and the nurese walked back to the hospital, where the patient was put to bed. It was like a night from the Arab inn Niirht. and thus endeth "THE STORY OF THE MAN WHO DID : Mr. Wallace was formerly from I.a : Elmer.
