Righto' NOW, Aui •ntGcTHefe—--J uuHaT is The mystic Phone For Your Favorite Laundry Man Laundry 0 0 W AH! 0 0 W A H!! The Lion Tamers arc with ns. Their organization is spreading like wild fire all over the country. But there is no cause for alarm. The I,inn Tamers, inspired by our old friends Mutt and Jeff, have only one object—fun. , _ „ Since Bud Fisher had Mutt and Jeff start the Lion Tamers club, the adven tures of which you have been following in this paper, similar societies have been springing up by the dozen and Bud Fisher has been besoeched from , very direction for charters. So in sistent has the demand been that Mr. Fisher had a charter drawn up and is now ready to supply a copy of it to any Lion Tamers club any where in the world. , , . Of course vow have been watching Mutt and Jeff'so that you know one of the chief objects of the Lion Tamers is to assist their brethren to elude too watchful wives and.spend a uuiet even ing over the green baize of the bil liard table, or around a board littered with three-colored chips. It is ru-\ mored that in certain parts of the country Lion Tamers have specially built hip pockets in their trousers. At ._4. thof • <a thp rumor from \azoo. Miss whc-re one of the first clubs was started. They are ' almost all pood poker players. As.1 pictured in the Mutt and Jeff strip, every member of a .Lion Tamers -lub represents some sort of a cheese, the officials being the High Lieder kranz, Els’ Cheese, Head Cheese and Cheese Chasers. Mutt and Jeff are the Chpese Chasers of the national organ ization and by ponulw acclaim Bud Fisher has been established in the office of Head Cheese of the national organ ization. 5 None of the clubs which have been formed have more or less elaborate by laws and rituals but the object is al ways simple—a good time. From the letters and newspaper clippings Mr. Fisher receives it appears that most of the chapters of the Lion Tamers are very select, consisting of only 10 or 12 members at the most. Most of the members of the different chancre rep resent one of the characters so familiar to followers of Mutt and Jeff—little Cicero, Joe Spiyis. Judge Geevem. Sir Sidney and others. They are addressed ay these names during the meetings of die Lion Tamers, One chapter meets in ar room which nas been fitted up like a lion s cage, with bars painted on the wall. Another, in a small southern town, has advertised for a second hand cir cus wagon such as the lions ride in during the circus parade, so that the members can meet in a real, bona fide lion's quarters. It isn't quite clear whether they want the cage to keep the members in or their wives out. Among the chapters which have al ready been formed and which have re ceived copies of the charter from Bud Fisher are those at Portland, Ore., Yazoo City, Miss., Willows, Cal.. James town, N. Y., Cloequet, Minn., Lorain, Ohio, Ansley, Neb,, and a number of other places. If you want to start a chapter of the Lion Tamers, get your crowd together, elect a High Liederkranz, and an Old Limberger and write Bud Fisher, care of this paper, asking for a charter. He will send you one. It is suitable for framing, bears a head of Mutt and Jeff, and is signed by Bud Fisher him self. Over Thousand People • c “C T ’ TL L” bee bmihn 1 hrough Pickerts Please Academy Pat rons; “East Side-West Side” Today An audience estimated to be well over a thousand persons were present at the Academy of Music Saturday after noon to witness the last matinee per formance of “Smilin Through,” as . staged by the Pickert Stock company, according to R.
