We merely present the words backward to attract your attention. Doing anything out of the ordinary these days always seems to attract. ‘Take the case of the Mayor of Toledo, O., as an example. He has managed to get himself so disliked by both the big political parties in his town that even the newspapers took up the fight against him in his campaign for a third re-election. Yet by his independent canvass for votes he has just won again and been re-elected by an immense majority. One of his queerest campaign methods of attracting attention was STANDING ON HIS HBAD IN PUBLIC. So we are going to publish a Httle sketch of him gs the “Mayor Who Stands on His Head.” OME people will say that it was this Mayor's luck as much as ‘anything that made him win. luck js doubtless a great factor in some folks’ lives. lt seems to always follow them like a pet poodle.

It is getting epidemic in its frequency, and no wonder that science is alarmed over the situation. Hydrophobia must be stopped, say the doctors, but how? First the germ must be discovered, and that is just what they think they have done finally. If that be eo it is indeed good news, but in the meantime listen to the doctors’ warning, and “Beware of SEE NEXT SUNDAY'S WORLD. the Dog!” B EN JONSON said: “In small proportions we just beauty see, and is short measure life may perfect be.” On this principle the Pewee Club of Yale has a right to imagine itself the best collection of perfection extant. For all its members are less than five feet tall. However, although the Yale Peweee have a pretty good opinion of themselves, they are willing to admit that there are other Pewees, and have invited that epitomical gal- axy of beauty belonging 0 the “Prince of Pilsen” company to fraternize with them at a near day. If you have seen these Pilsen Pewees, better known perhaps as “Broilers,” you will understand why the Yale Pewees are 80 willing to admit them to membership. At any rate, plans are forming for a most interesting meeting, and there will be high jinks when The Pilsener Broilers Meet the Yale Pewees.
