Show NEW ORLEANS WAS A GLOOMY TOWN Correct historians say Kid Napoleon had a mournful trip back from Waterloo, Wa-terloo, and that no peals of laughter came from him when he started for his training camp at St Helena. They also say gloom was thick enough .to chew around New York j when Snodgrass dropped the ball They even go farther and say Benedict Ben-edict Arnold's home folks didn't hold a jubilee when young Arnold showed show-ed a streak of yellow. Some claim tho death house In Sing Sing is a gloomy joint, and that the Boers haven't smiled since Lord Kitchener won his final game In South Africa But all these must havo been scones of hilarious joy compared to Royal street and tho French market in Now Orleans Thanksgiving night, to say nothing of certain and numerous spots In this man's town. |
