Mr. Maloney and his good wife know howto entertain. Miss Henry is one of our successful teachers . It is not always sunshine when the moon shines, neither is a person always, a giant because he doesn’t wear socks. The young people of D. V. and vicinity organized themselves into a Whoopee Club and attacked James Newhouse, our good looking elevator man and gave him, what I would call, a thunder and lightning hold up. What «eems worse than an ordinary surprise wis that they took him when he was calling on his lady friend. It appears that his triend invited him over for supper, in honor of the anniversary of his birthday. 01 course Jim accepted the call because he has an outrageous appetite, and a promise of pie and cake would persuade him away from a keg of lager beer. These friends saw him go and like sheep they all stealthily followed like an innocent band of truant angels. To make a long story short, they had a fine time.
