" Or suppose it was about election time and
the doctor should look out, he might name a child that had a
right to grow up a minister, "Candidate for Office so full of Bug Juice
that His Back Teeth are afloat;" or suppose he should look out and see a
woman crossing a muddy street, he might name a child "Woman with a
Sealskin Cloak and a Hole in Her Stocking going Down Town to Buy a Red
Hat." It wouldn't do at all to name children the way Indians do, because
the doctors would have the whole business in their hands, and the
directories are big enough now.
AN EDITOR BURGLARIZED.
The residence of John Turner, of the Mauston _Star_, was entered by
burglars a few nights since, and his clothes were stolen, containing all
his money and his railroad pass. We can imagine an editor around bare as
to legs, etcetery, and out of money, but to be without a railroad pass
must indeed be a sad state of affairs. When burglars burgle an editor it
is a sign that confidence is restored under Hayes' administration. We
trust that editors throughout the State who are blessed with this world's
goods to the extent of more than one pair of pants, will send one pair at
least to John Turner, Mauston, Wis., by express. We are probably as poor
as any editor, but we have sent him those alligator pants that have
created such a sensation in years gone by.
