was Il violation of law to smoke in the
Office? He said in Il very impudcnt way
that it WIS Il violation of my law; that
he had always smoked in the n!lcc and
would always do SO if he chose to.
My wife sent him word in Il kindly
she did not wish to have any trouble ON
account Of him. Then he came To the
Office and asked for his mail and | knew
there was nothing in the general delivery
for him and told him there was nothing
for him, but my wife had gotten Il card
