Would you know in every instance what knife, fork or spoon to use? A prose- cuting attorney of a big county like this ought to be able to mix in the swellest society, you know. “Well, I might make an occasional mistake, said Brown. “What were you doing while Lundin was ac- quiring erudition at college?” “I was a barber before I became a lawyer,” said Brown. “And you never went to college?” “That is not true,” said Brown. “I took the business course and was graduated from the Univer- sity of Hard Knocks.” I will confess the answer surprised and pleased me. I attended the same academy of learning. For that matter | am now taking a post-graduate course. I would have liked to spend an hour with him, swapping reminiscences of Alma Mater. Instead, I asked: “If the College club doesn’t endorse you, who does? “I have the endorsement,” said Brown proudly, “of Mrs. Mary Jones.’’ “Never heard of her.” “She is, nevertheless, an important member of society. She may be said to control two votes —her own and her husband's.” “Ah,” said I, “she is, then, an influential mem- ber of the Seattle Federation of Women’s clubs?” “No,” said Brown. “She washes by the day. Her husband used to be a drunkard. He drank up the money as fast as Mary could earn it at the tub. Under the ‘lazy husband’ act—my own modest invention—I sent Jones to the stockade, where he did a man’s work and earned a man’s wage. And Mary got the money. Jones has since reformed. I am sure I have the unqualified endorsement of Mrs. Mary Jones.” “Anyway, you can’t deny that you were once a barber,” I said. “And I was a newsboy and bootblack before I was a barber,” said Brown, with brazen effrontery. “I was a rotten barber, but I was a good bootblack.” “And you ask the voters of this county to vote for you for prosecuting attorney because you were a good bootblack?” “Hold on!” said Brown. “There is respectabil- ity in other places than the quarters of the College (Continued on Page 7.) 1 NNE cHRY ly orn cine ms sen sion SAVAGE ATTACK SLATE WALLIS OS MADE TO STEM GERMAN | Gherity Ed Welle of Skagit Such losses as the history of By Wm.
