tering complaint against E. E. Hag.
erman. On Monday, while in town
he called on US and was wearing a
most pleasant smile, but he didn't say

his pleasant countenance and we still
feel like humping him. A fine boy ar
rived at his house OIL Sunday. Under
stand. reader, we don't complain be
cause of E. Els. happiness, but because
of his stubborn silence. However, VIZ
can forgive when we remember thai
this is his first.
