Republicans got dirt in their fingernails digging up the story of Maria Halpin, a dipsomaniac widow by whom Cleveland had had an illegitimate child. Republicans intoned: "Ma, Ma, where's my Pa? Gone to the White House. Ha! Ha! Ha!" Democrats ghoulishly chiseled out the date of birth on Elaine's son's tombstone, then hinted that Blaine had married his son's mother under compulsion...
Self-Help. Actually London tube stations had already become the chief centres where the civilian army encamped.

Grandfather spends most of his time and money keeping the child away from its no-good father. Minus the bagpipers, Sir Harry Lauder stamped around with...
...father was U. S. Minister to France. No war could break their friendship, which has extended to their families (see cut), and every year Oldster Bigelow goes to visit Oldster Hohenzollern at Doom. Last week, after having trouble getting a passport ("I told President Roosevelt I would ha'nt him"), Poultney Bigelow sailed from Manhattan. Before sailing he gave the press some quotes from a letter of the former Kaiser, explaining discreetly that he was not authorized to do so but was indiscreetly taking the chance.
