INSIDE HISTORY OF SALOON METHODS

tf fns tA t4
Still that awful license wheel Of fortune,
or misfortune, as the case may be, and in
its slow turning reveals tragedies and
comedies, high hopes and disappointments,
sacrifices and greedy seizures, wealth and
poverty, suffering and crime.

answer, or a reply that refuted itself from
its very hesitancy.
