Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 182, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 August 1915 — His Demand. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

His Demand.

“That pugilist in his demands is paradoxical.’’ “How so?” •'He says he wants a square deal on each round.”

Still Modest "I hear Will Jinks has a swelled

head.”

“Dreadfully so.” “So conceited?” "No; mumps."

The Cause of It.

"Our new maid has a blackened character.” “You don’t tell me!" “Her last employer spilt the ink over it”

Its Status.

“Do many travelers come to that city which was flooded?” “At present, I may say its entire population is more or less a floating one.”

BEFORE THE reception.

"I do hope the Dobbs won’t be present tonight” “Why not?” "Oh. they’ve got a new auto and I just can’t bear to hear her tell about it"
