with old friends. The room was crowded
with his acquaintance, who shook hands
with him, aud (for the sake of 4 joke)
said they were glad to see him back from
the Black Hills. As soon as the Hills
were mentioned, the gentleman OF thirty
odd years. experience In the printing bust
ness, who was standing o N the side, for the
purpose Of hearing something that would
aid him in writing what he terms cditori-
ais, wherein he might use his favorite

ed up his ears and wished an introduction

knew the boys had been practicing joke
on those 30 odd years of experience, and
thought the best thing he c"uld do was to
get away from them. and promised to be
around in minute, and started round the
block with the intention of getting out of
sight of 30 odd years experience. But
over 80 years experience was not to ,e
fooled in this way, and started round the
block in the opposite direction from that
taken by Nc, and met him on another
corner. When Nc saw his incessant pur-
sucr he started on the run, and the 80 odd
years experience in printers ink and filthy
and iliitcrate scribbling stood in wonder
and amazement until a person told him
hat Nc. had not been 10 til. Black Hills.
