...Robert LeRoy ("Believe It or Not") Ripley, 38; by Marion Ohnick (Haru Onuki), U. S.-born Japanese opera singer; for $500,000. Charge: breach of promise to marry. Said Miss Onuki, "I love Bobbie as much ... as I did when I first promised to be his little Japanese sister." Cartoonist Ripley is currently seeking new incredible facts in Australasia...
...newspaper lore is the legend of a young cartoonist, flouted by the parents of the girl he wished to marry, who made himself rich by putting them in a comic strip. Earthy, rude nouveaux riches, Jiggs & Maggie became famed in song, story, burlesque. Probably on this account is the story apocryphal.

No longer most up-to-date of U. S. slangsters, but wealthy, still unmarried, Author Ade winters in Florida, lives as a gentleman farmer in Brook, Ind. Golfing enthusiast, football fan, he is known...
Other magazines have likewise fallen from popularity because the times have passed them by. In the eighties, "Harper's Weekly" crusaded almost single-handed against the pioneer racketeers of the Tweed Ring and won its fight by the efforts of the cartoonist Thomas Nast. And in the turbulent days of the Roosevelt campaigns, its drawings by Kemble crystallized the opinion of the opposition. But because "Harper's" could not remake its pages in the image of Baron Steiehen or Covarrubias...
