As she kicked: open the front gate Prince Soaki, the Russian, said to Jepp Coogan: “Seems to meeski you're pret- ty muddyovitch.” Street Commissioner Doggie, knowing Jepp had fallen in the mudhole, felt slightly to blame for his feflow-townsman’s plight. “Cut it out, Prince!” he said. A{ that moment Judge Coley Butterworth came along. The Judge ad a flowing beard, \ which he plaited himself os a + Pastime and this in itself was * astounding to the Prince. , “Well, Judge Coley, how's the < beara?” Commissioner Doggie thus ad- ° + dressed the jurist. “I been thinkin’ of gettin’ it bobbed,” replied the Judge.

It appears to be necessary for us to say a few words here regarding an insinuation, made by Heywood Broun in his eriticism of “The Ever Green Lady,” printed yesterday in The World, the little sister of this great newspaper.

World men wao do indulge in a nip now and then are willing to prove it any time. All Mr. Broun has to do is get half a dozen quarts of good Scotch and leave it with the writer of this col- umn.
