THE BOOSTER 1 1 PROPHECY By Will Wetter UPON being exonerated by His Honor William Jennings Bryan, pies, of the United States in 1941 where I was an inmate for a couple score of years because of sedi- tious remarks said to have been made concerning my classmates by me in prophecying their future, ray natural instinct was to get ' em by an Act of Malice. A word of the past and present will give you a better under-standing of the contrasting situations and conditions which existed then and are now existing in the past. Life was a complicated matter, for instance, the Habeas Corpus Act was not known else I would not have been subject to the aforesaid fate. In those days houses had roofs on them and the people lived only on the face of the earth. Today we are living not only in subways but on the earth and in the atmosphere as well. A visit to the planet Mars, Luna, or Old Sol which was not thought of in those days is now as common an oc- currence as the movies were then. The R. R. running on a horizontal plan was their means of travel, while today travel is done on a vertical plane from planets to earth. I dedicate this to Mr. Bertram Sanders, the Universal disciplinarian, who after strong competition with Wilhelm our noted janitor will be a future Principal of E. M. T. H. S. Leaving the sanitarium on foot I walked down Broadway for a few squares where I noticed a group of children gathered around a middle aged man pushing a shovel-like contraption a few feet from the curb. On investigating, I found Handley Caraway try- ing to prove a scientific point to the children that friction produces heat, by manicuring boulevards. Directly across the street I noticed a delapidated shack with a sign painted on the window, John Long Novelty Shop. You tell ' urn ' s a Specialty. On entering the shop I was met by Lillian Maschino and Dorothy Guntz, who immediately recognized me and sprung some of Long ' s wit upon me. You tell ' em appendicitis you ' re always on the right side. You tell ' em Wetter you ' re always dryer. Ycu tell ' em June July. John then introduced me to his wife, formerly Dorothy Wilson. They informed me that Carl Wundram was serving a life sentence in Sing Sing because of a murdei which he committed by Shooting Seven in a Craps Game, and that John Elstrod had gained great reknown as a Bigamist, the unfortunate women being Coleta Duncan and Belva Thompson. I borrowed two bits and left taking my right with me. I then caught a jitney bus with a sign on the windshield, From Coast to Coast for Five Cents. I looked to see who was driver and there sat Edgar Rugenstein. He told me he was advertising for Henry Ford by making cross country runs and that he left for Chicago at eight the next morning. I looked around to see who the other occupants were and met the eye of John Bray, who told me he was just Braying around and gave me a complimentary ticket for that night ' s performance to the Hippodrome of which he said he was the manager. We got off and entered the Knickerbocker Hotel to wash. After being shaved by Julius Harris we sat in the lobby for a few minutes. We heard a bell hop page Chang Lee. Remembering the name we called the page and told him to send Mr. Lee to us when found. Chang told us he was running a laundry on the Bowery and that some of his em- ployes were Magdalene Eberhardt and Margaret Kluger, both having lost their hus- bands by trying to pass over Niagara Falls in a barrel. I then journeyed to the Hippodrome where I found that my complimentary tickets entitled me to a seat on the first floor from the roof. The play bore the title of Read ' Em and Weep presented by the Seven Galloping Dominoes. The leading lady was Martha Gooch, the hero, Fred Buddenbaum, the five minor characters were Viora Frye, Ethel Heid, Ina Bush, Esther Fiddelman, and Rosa Koor. The orchestra and fowl insulting odors of eggs and vegetables awakened me by playing, In the Galleries of Memories, as two deaf and dumb mutes, the only two persons who had remained to see the finis of the performance were passing out. On reaching the street I was confronted by George McNeely selling newspapers called Extra! Big sensation, arrest made! I learned from George that Paul Habbe was editor of The Friday Picket Fence formerly the Saturday Evening Post. The details of the arrest were that Arthur Landes was operating a Toad Farm three inches wide and one mite long. When the toads became full grown he would follow them with a bucket and catch and save the Hops. Revenue officers are said to have charged him with violating the Prohibition Law. Another article stated that the tardy problem of schools had been solved by a recent invention of Elizabeth Davy and Mary Homburg. The system involved was placing pneumatic tubes under the ground, similar to drain pipes, which were connected from school to every student ' s home. When the child is almost tardy he is pitched into the tube and arrives to school immediately. George ' s policy was to Spend your money and sleep in the streets, which we did that night. We were awakened next morning by Josephine Renier in a police- woman ' s uniform who, by the treating we received, must abide under the Divine Law, Treat ' Em Rough and Tell ' Em Nuthing. I met Edgar Rugenstein the next morning so as to receive full value for the slug I gave him the day before which passed well for a nickel. While driving through a little Jerk W ' ater burg, we were hailed by Leonard Sprecher, w r ho spoke the native tongue. He was advertising a circus in a flexible condition due to the Kick of a White Mule. We laid him on the floor of the car and drove to the circus. Here we found Clarence Hoy as a Side Show Yeller dressed in that color. His line was (Continued on Page 15)
