THE ROUNDER.

The Rounder confesses that he is in
eligible as an anarchist. For many years
he has struggled along doing the best he
could to live out his existence regardless
of fame or notoriety. He let existing

to the world at large had not the yellow
journals, put him in the notion OF be-
coming an anarchist. He has however
made inquiries into the qualification
necessary for the profession and is forced
to admit that his early training lacked.
