dent of Dover who was about to exercise

Cooper asked him where he got the money
TO pay his taxes, and whether his taxes
had been paid. Before he had time to re-
ply, DIR. Wilson, thoroughly exasperatcd,
turned upon tho challenger and said:
"Colonel Cooper 1 would like to know
what right you have to come up here from

right have you to ask anybody where they
got the money to pay their taxesP But
will ash you where you got tho money to
