S THE result of careful
investigation The Look
out is glad to report
that the mysterious or
ganization at The Berk
shire known as "The
Hunch are not anarchists, intent on
dynamiting the Administration Building
and rebuilding it in Smoke. Neither, as
has been reported, are they attempting to
overthrow the present municipal govern
ment and establish negroes in control.
Further, they have no connection what
ever with the W. C. T. U., or the Ku
klux, and they don't even know what
41 A. 1. A." stands fori
In a word, The Bunch is absolutely
harmless and subscribers may pay their
subscriptions in advance with impunity,
cash and produce. Office hours, 9 to 5.
The Lookout has been to large ex
pense in these investigations realizing
what they meant to the community, and
especially to our numerous family, and
we candidly state that we are not only
holding on to what real estate we have,
but shall continue to invest as fast as
delinquent advertisers and subscribers
make it possible. Oflice hours, 9 to 5.
Furthermore, we might state that im
mediate payment from a few of the neg
ligent ones will not only be appreciated
but expected. Write or call.
We are perfectly willing to devote our
selves to the community, but we cannot
overlook the community's obligation to
us; especially when that obligation
should be bearing compound interest
and that compound interest invested
in our wife's Easter bonnet. We also
have a few personal needs that are
entirely dependent upon the public's visi
ble appreciation of our efforts in its be
half. No we do not care for the new issue
of twenty-dollar gold pieces, for we see
no reason why the Turkey Buzzard
should supplant the American Eagle as
our National emblem. In a word " we
have buzzards tew hum!" We might
take a few, if positively necessary ; but
even Bryan dollars, or produce, would be
more acceptable.
Bear in mind, however, that The
Bunch investigations have put us' to
heavy expense, and please do not make
it necessary for us to sue, with the at
tendant uncertainty and inconvenience
for all concerned; also remember that
we it-ill sue, and take the chances, if nec
essary. Make it possible for us to continue to
serve and protect the public as we have
just done in discovering that The Bunch
is nothing more or less than a Grub Club,
and that the secrecy is due to natural
modesty and a desire to avoid higher
board rates.
But for our eagle-eyed sleuths the
facts would never have been known and
The Bunch continued a menace to the
community's welfare. Real estate was
dropping ten per cent a day, conserva
tive men were preparing to move, fear
rest, all upon an organized basis, why
should we not apply the same principles
to the most essential function of life
eating? In fact, should we not, to be
up with the times, be organized eatrs'i
"That was the problem, pure and sim
ple, which confronted The Bunch, and
after due consideration, this was brought
about; a constitution and by-laws and
all the essential modus operandi adopted.
Naturally, we felt that a certain amount
of secrecy was necessary, (another cau
tious glance towards the hotel office), for
various reasons, which I think you will
understand; but we did not anticipate
that ignorance concerning the real pur
pose of our organization would over
throw the peace and quiet of the community.

was rampant a panic wras upon us ; but
now all is as calm as a dewberry patch
at noon !
We naturally take some pride in the
matter, but our pride will be very much
hurt if the public does not do its part, as
we have previously delicately intimated.
THE PRESIDENT'S AFFIDAVY.
Realizing after a talk with us, that the
welfare of the community depended on
a statement of facts, and after being
positively assurred that board bills
would not be raised, the president of The
Bunch, made the following "affidavy ' :
" This is an age of organization," be

glance towards the hotel office, "and

" Our first official act was to select a
spiritual adviser and the Village parson
was assigned to the chair of honor at the
head of our table, and, by way of cor
trast, we located a flaxen haired, diaboli
cal, youth at the opposite end. At the
parson's left were a Philadelphia broker
and a Harrisburg lawyer, emblematic of
law and capital; while at the honored
right, were placed a handsome young
Virginian and a popular New orker,
significant of art, music, literature, labor,
and the public in general.
"Generally speaking, blissful har
mony has resulted, but from time to
time, departures have made it necessary
to add to our ranks, with the elections
