DIDN’T YOU lose your dog?
• • •
Cheer up. Perhaps you will.
• • •
Think of the fun you’ll have get
ting him back.
• • •
And think of thb fun HE will have.
Why, man, it’s THE topic in doggy
circles.
• • •
The canine 4 (paw) 00, so to speak.
Ever since Mrs. Mala Mute set the
fashion.
• • •
By spending a week-end.
At the new Hotel de Pound.
• • •
Thereby putting one over on Helen
Husky.

^ Did you notice the avalanche of
hounds on First street this morning?
• • •
We counted seventeen in the shop
ping district alone.
• * •
And a gang of tough ones ’round
a near-booze parlor.
• • •
All raising Sylvester.
And watching for Meredith to come
and get them.
• • •
Because the grub at his place.
Not to mention the other accom
modations.
Have made Merry the most popu
lar man.
• • •
In dogtown. Selah!
So let your doggie run and play
Don’t be a mean old thing!
It only costs you two a day
To let her have her fling
Down at the Ki-Yi- Cabaret,
Where she can dance and sing
With plenty to drink and a deviled
bone,
And Merry for a chaperone.
Wonderful thing, a dog’s instinct.
The man who depends upon it never
goes wrong.
Your nose knows.
• • •
See the show last night?
• • •
Clara Kimball Young and the new
$18,000 Kimball organ.
• • •
Pretty hard to beat that combina
tion.
• • •
Step on her, Charlie.
EXTRA SPECIAL! Tomorrow the
GREAT EXPOSE.
• • •
Something scandulous.
• • •
Don’t miss it.

In this column. S-s-sh!
THE SHADIGANDIAN REFORMER
(Dedicated to Zaccheus.)
I’m a moral regulator, and I feel it is
my mission
To keep my fellow-citizens from trav
eling to perdition;
I feel my mission in my bones, I’m
made to regulate
The morals of my fellow-men and
keep my neighbors straight.
I hunt for sin on every trail, through
wood and swamp and mire,
And when I drive it from its lair I
lift my gun and fire;
I hunt the sin through hidden ways,
through many a covert path,
And pulverize the sinner with the
thunder of my wrath.
Born was I in a sinful age, a sinful
neighborhood;
My fellow-townsmen all were bad,
and not a soul was good;
in this town of Shadigand, when I
was young and strong,
I told the Shadiganians that they
were foul with wrong.
My neighbors’ sins filled me with
grief almost beyond control,
The weight of Shadiganian sin was
heavy on my soul.
“I’ll make this place as virtuous as
any in the land,
I’ll make,” said I, “a virtuous town
this town of Shadigand.”
The time will come,” I said, “ ’twill
come when sin will disappear,
When in this town will not befound
a single sinner here.”
And I have done the thing 1 said—a
work of some renown—
For now, today, there is not left one
sinner in this town.
I
I’d meet men on the highways and
I’d show them they were bad,
And give them all a catalogue of all
the sins they had;
I’d greet them in the fields at work
and look them in the eye,
And cry aloud and spare them not
and smite them hip and thigh.
I’d follow them to market, and I’d fol
low them to mill,
And show their gross perversities of
thought and deed and will;
And then I’d seek them in their
homes, and preach for days and
days,
And show them the fearful wrong and
error of their ways.
And I convicted them of sin; they all
began to go;
Yes, they all trickled out of town in
one continuous flow;
On every boat they departed to join
the rest,
And leave this town of Shadigand an
unpoluted nest.
V
And so my prophesy came true that
sin would disappear
There’s not one sinner left in town
I’m all the soul that’s here.
But you, sir, you’re a sinful man—foul
sin your soul has hid
What’s that? You’re going to leave
the town? Just what the others
did. '
