Heiskell Weatherford, former manager of M. U. S. baseball team, is now making probably more money than any of the fellows. He is one of the biggest racketeers and bootleggers in Chicago. His present rival is Scarface Capone. This Weatherford fellow is a tough egg, and you certainly are in a mess when you get in trouble with him. Sam Nickey is now the most outstanding lumberman in the entire world. He has about 100 lumber mills and is now the greatest and most wealthy man in America. The chief product he puts out is cabinet wood veneer. Sam ships all his lumber by airplane which no other man in the world has been able to do. While in England, the king invited me to a concert. Of course, 1 was delighted to attend, and promised my attendance. Upon arriving at the Buckingham Palace, I was surprised to find my old friend Ben Owen. 1 had not seen him since graduation. To my surprise he was giving the concert to which the king himself had invited me. Ben was excellent, and the applause went on throughout the nigh t. I thought 1 would never get home. It was a good thing the piano broke to pieces. Jack Pipkin, the fellow who was very fond of chickens, especially ones with skirts, is now aeronautical engineer at the Air-Tight aviation field in Phinklestien, Jerusalem. Ajex Powers is a dentist now having extracted and fixed .99,888,000 4 teeth during his practice. Alex had quite a mishap not long ago. He was in such a habit of pulling teeth out, that one night he pulled out his own while asleep. It was a tough break, but he took his misfortune very well. Hal Rhea, the fellow with a thousand laughs, is now selling Packards. You will probably be interested in that, Mr. Wright, as you have endeavored to buy a couple for a long time. Hal will undoubtedly try to cheat you, but I would fool him and buy one. From last reports, through my newspaper, Hal has not sold a car since last year. He has quite a record. He, like Heiskell Weatherford, have served terms in the largest penitentaries. They both spent 10 years in Sing Sing. John Roberts, is now the man of Broadway. If you will walk down Broadway at night, all lights have his name portrayed. And how the women rave about him. Remember Rudy Vallee, well, he is no longer on Broadway. John has taken his place, and you should see John lead his orchestra. He plays at the hottest night clubs in New York. Alex Crow Wellford, is now in the South Sea Islands, teaching the fair maidens of that section to learn the art of loving. He was formerly with the Ginsberg Motion Picture Co., but is now under the South Sea Company, located at Great Neck. Very truly yours, N. D. SAPPENFIELD, JR.
