Inc minneapolis headquarters ana the Dig
parlor were really one, and it was into the
Minneapolis room that every one endeavored

one continuous shout punctuated by silk hats
which careless owners flung to the ceiling or

the hats would be useless anyhow today, so the
destruction went right along, and when a man
didn't happen to have any more hats OF his own
to dishgu-e and throw away, why, he simply
