absent-minded that his next door neigbbor
got good deal of advertising at the circus
We NAV then conclude that he is not care

The cteekiest thing that We have heard
in some time was from man who told us
that he did not like our position in politics
and this WAS the cause Of his not having
his name on our subscription list. We
then politely asked him to pay the small
balance due Us before he became dlssatls-
fed with our political position, and his
reply was that "ge had gone back on him
and be would 60 back on US, and that we
could not collect it from him by law be-
cause he had nothing" We run our pen
through his account and threw it into the
street to billy goat.
