bibine the compound rather immediately
made the following ingenious plea the other

truth, 1t did not save him from the calaboose:
Mr.. Ersk,ne-R aiding the newspapers has
brought me into this state. like to know
the war news. I read all the dispatches
published on the subject. That's the way
lost my reason. The second edition con.
trad cts the first; the third contradicts that
again and so on. You believe you know,
and you don't know anything. You learn
sll at once that what Happened yesterday
didn't happen yesterday. but is going to hap
pen tomorrow. That's enough to shatter
the best organized intellect 1t produces
the effect Of mixing your liquor-you go on
swallowing without knowing how much you
take.
