Published Every Once In A While
Vol. V. No. 3.
June 4, 1900 (Part 2) - or perhaps later
Issues on the Microfilm jump from Jun 14, 1898 to Jun 4, 1900.
Abstracted / Transcribed by

Folks - nothing here is free for the taking. See Terms of Use
This issue was published by Lon Stansbery who had the reputation of being quite a joker. The paper is filled with tongue-in-cheek spoofs, dates much later than the June 4, 1900 date on the masthead and ads that certainly can't be taken seriously. The paper is filled with typos which I've, usually, transcribed as I found them. Lon borrowed freely from the Tulsa Democrat paper without giving them credit.

THE INDIAN REPUBLICAN.
Now is the time for the patient Filipinos to turn the other cheek to the sugar trust.

Good Definition.
It was the first time the two dusky ex-stevedores had met since the war, and they were comparing their more personal history. "Mose," announced Rastus, "Ah's got a good job now."
"Yo' got a good job? What at?"
"Ah's got a job bein' p'fessor of pathology to the college."
"Hueeum, p'fessor of pathology, big boy? Yo' kain't read nor write."
"Seems lak you' don' know what is it a p'fessor of pathology. Lemme 'lucidate. A p'fessor of pathology is de p'fessor what shows de folkses how to go in and out of the college grounds." - American Legion Weekly
Puzzled Youngster.
Lord Frederick Hamilton, the English diplomatists, told an Anglo-Indian story on his last visit to New York.
"A little English boy was born in India", said Lord Frederic, "and at the age of seven his mother brought him home to England to put him to school.
"As the train whizzed across the English countryside the little chap said to his mother:
"Mamma, what a queer county England is. All the natives seem to be white."
Birthdays to Order.
Mary, aged five, is a devoted advocate of more holidays such as Christmas, birthdays and various other smaller festivals which involve in their celebration the giving of gifts. Recently she had an original and very happy idea.
""Daddy," said Mary, "it's been a long time since I've had a birthday, a long, long time, and I want another one. I want to have another birthday today."
Mail in Garbage Can.
Delayed owing to having been deposited in rubbish can." Was stamped on a quantity of Christmas mail from Randolph, Mass. A green colored rubbish can located in front of the post office was responsible. When someone suggested to the postmaster that he examine the can he did so, and was astonished to find such a large amount of mail matter there, letters and packages, but mostly post cards.
