Me. Paul. —At one time a re spectable railroad man and protege of the Administration, but now president of an insurance company and fmend of Thomas Ryan. This young man came from the West, saw the interior of the White House and conquered the Su- preme Court. He began life in Chicago, but took an early interest in the stock market, and from that moment his politi- cal career was assured. From the rail- road business he was launched into the Navy, where he took in water enough on board to be able to finance any great en- terprise. He then sailed on the good steamer Equitable Life, with sealed or- ders. He and his Hyde bound vessel are still at sea. His principal occupa- tion has been making rebates to order. Now, however, he is busy at the pumps. Author of the celebrated poem, “ In- vestigation Is Vexation."” Also “ The Derelict,’’ “ Marooned,"” etc. Address care Ryan. Peace EACE conferences that propose to make a rule that aeroplanes and dirigible balloons shall not drop bombs in war on hostile outfits might as well ¢ their strength. Of course, the flyers will drop anything they can lift wherever it will do the most harm.

This young gentle- man was born at an early age, and con- ceived the idea of making Yale Univer- sity respectable, after Noah Porter had gotten through with it, by sprinkling it with liberal thought and other youthfui excesses, thus opening the door of mod- ern philosophy with a Yale Locke. He has written a number of things about railroads, political economy and. social- ism, and, having traveled away from college at times, his ideas on these sub- jects have almost been useful. He al- ways speaks when spoken to. Principal occupation: Not advertising hin Recreation: Reading the encyclopedi Favorite hymn: “ Home, Sweet Home Address, Hall of Fame. A BAD EGG comicbooks.com.
