THE STROLLER
E. J. White.
After closely Btudying the ups
and downs, ins and outs and side
wlgglings thereunto appertaining,
thu Stroller has concluded to go on
record as opposed tc "ragging."
This is no hasty decision, tout .the
result of mature, careful and prayer
ful deliberation. The Bituation was
not prayed for by the Stroller un
til after the recent baseball.tourna^
ment at this place. Until that
time he had never seen any
'ragfing". He thouht.he had, but
lie hadn't. Not by considerable.
W.iat. he had seen was not ."rag
ging."
Now, Little One, lock the] door,
pull down the blinds, comg a little
nearer, and the Stroller will tell
you why he has stamped his ban
on "ragging.". .
There, you have it, Now unlock
tlie^door, let some fresh air in and
shoot up the blinds. .You won't
care to "rag" anymore, and you can
make public Just what the Stroller
to!«* you—but you won't.
If vuu do jot believe the Stroller,
and he put It mildly, have a moving
picture taken of yourself In action
and th„en stand back and witness
yourself wiggling across the. floor.
Then you'll wisn you hadn't had
the picture taken. Besides, you
won't "rag'" anymore. You won't
C"re to. You'll then know that.you

look to others just as you look to
yourself "Never again for Little
'Lira." i
The Stroller will be called "A
mean old thing" for this, but he
hag been called worse—much worse
- tli'nga than that frequently since
consecrated his life to the moral
uplift many year ago. Giddy
young things in the past Jiave
thought the Stroller cruel .and
cold-blooded when he has recom
mended *he soft pedal, but the ma
jority of them have lived to thank
him tn later years for his kindly
inter»jit in them. Only last week
lie received a letter from 'Possum
lYot, Ifj'.rida, which said:
"Not until I was forty and the
mother of six could I bring myself
to agree with.what you told me at
the moonlight watermelon picnic
that memorable night in June."
(While the Stroller has no idea
what b«» told her, he wots not but
that it was something for her own
good.)
