JOHNNY PASSES UP THE COMMON FOOD

On the front page of today’s Indianapolis Star appears the picture of General Wood, candidate for the presidency. Elbowing him at the left in the picture is another gentleman who looks a powerfully lot like J. J. Montgomery of this city. We are not saying that it is our Fire Chief who is so close up to Mr. Wood, but if anyone could get so close to a person of such importance, it would De J. J. Montgomery. Mr. Montgomery is the only man who attended the Columbia dub luncheon Friday that ate frog legs, asparagus tips / and strawberries and cream. Jack was the last one to be served and came in for a great deal of kidding,, but nevertheless he was the only one who took notice of the fact that there was something on the bill of fare besides roast beef and pork. Although rear[ed in the country, but possessing (none of the traits of a rube, Jack I knows that a special dinner, something easy to say and oraer, is simply placed on the menu as a rube’s paradise.
