Harry Parker Loses An Election Bet to Hoover.

Harry Parker, photographer and football coach, is a sorrowful man following the final result of the presidential election. Next to watching a football game, Harry would rather hunt game than anything else and for the past several weeks has been feeling good as a result of a proposition he made with Bill Hoover on the outcome of the election. The proposition that Harry made was that if Mr. Hughes was elected that Mr. Hoover should accompany him on a rabbit hunting expedition some time this winter for ten hours, during which time Mr. Hoover should not carry a gun, but should rout out the bunnies from their hiding places, while he (Parker) did the shooting. But alas, Harry’s well formed plans went astray and instead of anticipating a good hunt at the expense of Mr. Hoover, it is the latter who is going to have the fun, while Harry chases up the game for the Wilson backer to shoot at.
