Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 August 1907 — WHO WAS HE? [ARTICLE]

WHO WAS HE?

A good joke is told of a prominent young lady of Rensselaer. At Fountain Park last Sunday she saw a young man that she was sure she used to know, and she walked np to him and called him by name and introduced herself. They then walked about the grounds together and she introduced the y. m. to her friends as Mr. A of Watseka—the gentleman she supposed he was. Other Rensselaer people knew the young man from Watseka whom the young lady supposed she was with, and saw and talked with the real Watseka young man’s mother, who waa on the grounds, and she told them that her son was in Seattle, Wash., and had been there for several months. The Rensselaer - young lady—who really thoughjt she knew the “real one”—now wonders who the fellow was she had in tow, and who played the part of the hadn’t-seen-her-for-a-long- time friend, really was?
