TRIO OF GAY BACHELORS

Will Start Tuesday On Extended Southern Trip. Samuel Fendig, B. N. Fendig and C. E. Garver, head clerk in Fendig’s drug store, expect to leave Tuesday on a four weeks’ pleasure trip to the balmy Southland. They will visit New Orleans, taking in the Mardi Gras; Jacksonville, Tampa, and will visit the brothers of Samuel Fendig there, and other points in Florida. They also expect to spend ten days at Havana, Cuba. This trio of gay old bachelors have withstood the blandishments of the Rensselaer young ladies for many years, but whether or no they will turn their backs to the sportive southern surf bathers or the brighteyed Senoritas of the Cuban capital is a matter of conjecture among their many friends, several of whom expect that some “entangling alliances” will result from this trip that will benefit Uncle Sam’s postal receipts after their return. And, well, who knows what the results may be.
