He wasn't afraid to ask the milliners
for advertising or printing. He dream

lived in the office almost, being there
early and late. He made battery and
appropriated types before the first
type founder thought OF doing II. He
did stereotyping In q rude way, max
Ing matrix from plotting paper. De-
string to do his work better he tried
to buy proper materials for steTeotVp-
ing, but he was bluffed so easily by
the prices or talk given him by the
dealers that for many years he sup
posed he was the victim OF some infa-
mously jealous trusts,
A tramp printer from Chicago made
him believe that gasoline could be made
The Chicago man pointed TO a big can
Of the fluid and insisted that he had
made It. Gasoline was high-prlced
then. The devil sold the gasoline the
printer said he had made to a rival
office and the two divided the money.
Make some more" said the devil;
there Is demand for It," The Chi
cago printer left that night and the ed
itor made the devil pay for the gaso-
line.
The editor can recall his last visit
from the tramp printer he learned the
trade" with-the one who made gaso-
line. He came into the shop and was
denied work by the foreman. He saw
at a glance that the old days and loose
ways were gone. Neatly dressed, well
kept young men and women were at
work In an Office as clean as parlor.
Whose Funnin' this sheet now?" he
Inquired.

next morning he called on his editor

didn't believe there was such a place.
Then he went to sleep. The preachers
looked at him In pity. The editor spoke
kindly OF him as a comrade who had

Gasoline" awoke and said:
Jack, II you don't gimme a quarter

And "holler' he did.
He "hollered" until the ministers left.

fact that prohibition has prohibited in
