furiated farmer, who stood somewhat
amazed that the editor did not quake and
Jremble before him.
"Iwant to see the editur,'; he bawled.
You shall see him, but there is no need
for you to be in such an extraordinary
hurry. Be seated
With grow'i something very much like
an oath, the man threw himself into q
chair, and Allen, with amazing coolness,
asked:
" Now, sir, what do you want to see the
editor for?'

bringing The whip with a savage whack
down upon the desk. II am mad; tell ye

New, as to the editor for whom you are
looking: you met him on your former Visit,
and he has not changed SO much that you
need fail to recognize him. But really
think the proper thing for you and Sam
Herrin to do is TO settle your disputes with
yourselves and not be dragging them into
the Newspapers
Having given this wholesome advice, the
editor cody turned to his desk and began
writing. For several minutes George
