asked the reporter. With the air Of
a pope about to pronounce an ever

himself up 10 his proudest height,
expaned his bloated cheeks like a cor
pulent woodchuck, rammed his fat
thumbs in the arm holes of his greasy
vest, and said: 81 eff dose newspapers

and passed on. The beer tub was
disappointed. He expected a quarrel.
He took a few steps forward, imperi-
lively crooked his forefnger and said
"kum here" The reporter came and
