At last the blow has fell. This of fice has been mistaken for most every uientionahle thing but the limit was readied this morning. One poor, mis guided, thirsty citizen wandered in just as the day's work was started and iook it for a club, a social club with all the wet accessories, which really are in these days of number less clubs about the only thinirs to one. Being ii)i stairs, along with the oili er offices and enterprises caused the confusion. There are steps leading up stairs all along the street to va rious places, clubs, physician? and dentists offices, newspaper otlices. pressing clubs, photograph gulleries, etc. Turning up the wrong stcjis caused the mistake. Our good friend ana neighbor. Dr. W. C. Houston, is next door. JVe are frequently called upon to pull a tooth for the genial doctor. In return the Doctor says that his place of business is frequently taken for a newspaper office. Only yesterday a lady called here and asked a reporter of this paper how long it would take him to make a "bridge." The reporter was of the opinion that it would take him quite a while, but told her that Dr. Houston would likelv do the job in much shorter time We are frequently called upon to make photographs. press clot lies, talk insurance, etc. But, coming hack to the morning's inucident.

But it happened. The force saw it happen. The wearv citi.en with the Rud- weiser appetite, came wandering in through the press room. He passed the editor hv and took a shot at "Bob." "Say, Mister," he said. "I want a drink. I am all right and they told me to tell you to let me have it and it would be all O. K." "What kind of a drink do you want," replied the foreman.
