Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 266, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 November 1914 — An Emotionalist. [ARTICLE]

An Emotionalist.

“So i you’re hanging around broke again?” said the policeman. “Yes," answered Bill the -Burglar. *T haven’t a cent I broke' into a bouse night before last and the poor mark of a taxpayer told me such a hard luck story that he had me sheddin’ tears an’ lendin’ him my last cent’’’ A widower never invests in a guitar for the purpose of serenading a spinster. He begins right where he left off at the end of his first courtship. A maid of twenty tries to act like a widow of forty, a widow of forty tries to act like a maid of twenty—and there you are. Every little helps—especially littla kicks when you’re going down hill. Gold may be the key to society, but poverty is the strongest bar.
