AROUND THE OFFICE 



M.-A -O. 



Will Logge up in Wisconsin is bein per- 

 secuted the meanest by Gleanins as I see it. 

 At least, he 's bein shut off of publicity. 

 The other day he sent in a advertisement as 

 f oilers towit: "Wanted — a young lady or 

 widow partner not over 38 years who has 

 been, or is, interested in beekeeping, with 

 some means, to produce honey on an exten- 

 sive scale. Object matrimony.'' Gleanins 

 wouldnt print it for Will Logge sayin as 

 how they wanted Will to understand they 

 woant no matrimony buro, and also doubtin 

 as to whether his object woant more for the 

 some means than for produciii honey or tyin 

 hisself up into matrimony nots. He says ad- 

 dress him at 2029 Brown Street, Mil- 

 waukee. But afore any innocent girl not 

 over 36 years old or any trustin and lonely 

 widow under same age limits does address 

 him I 've got somethin to say to both of 

 em, and also to him afore he gets his foot 

 in so far in answerin he cant pull it out no 

 way as how perhaps he '11 want to the al- 

 mightiest. This matrimony business is a 

 serous thing approachin it either from the 

 female or male side. It aint no joke by a 

 long sight so it aint. Now lets see about 

 Logge 's proposishun. Why's he drawin the 

 line at 36 anyway, on both widows and 

 young girls not over 36; Is it fair to a girl 

 as what is from 37 to 41 or 42? Nothin but 

 young chickens for Will Logge I guess, and 

 it would make me suspicious of him if I had- 

 n 't had more than 36 years experence. Oncet 

 again, girls and widows under 36 years old, 

 take notice how he sort a drags his bait 

 along the bottom and right at the end and 

 sharpest and dangerous part of the hook he 

 put on object matrimony. He even put 

 this after mentionin a little detail about 

 some means bein required. That was a point 

 to be noticed some too. I don 't know how 

 a hook baited up that way w^ill get 36-year- 

 old-and-under girls and widows playin round 

 it, but I know I couldn 't get no legal size 

 bass of compis mentus on no such baited 

 hook as that is. But after these passin 

 observashuns of mine, if any widow or girl 

 not over 36 years of standard length, still 

 young, who is interested in beekeepin past 

 or present, with some coin, wantin to pro- 

 duce honey and honeymoon and willin to 

 have Logge have matrimony as a object too, 

 wants to address him at Milwaukee, jest 

 crack ahead. I aint got no further responsi- 

 bility in the matter whatsoever so I haint. 

 I feel I 've put the case up to the girls and 

 widows fair and I aint shut Will Logge en- 

 tirely out of Gleanins columns contrary to 

 all princii^les of a free press and inaleenable 

 rights guaranteed by the constitution. Oh, 

 I was agoin to say somethin to Will too. I 

 want to be fair, and I know somethin about 

 matrimony I could tell him. There's a aw- 

 ful lot about matrimony that could be said 

 and said over several times and then said 

 some more too. I don 't want Will as a fel-
