there are different ways Of reaching
Mehama and some of the mail men
send II one way some send 1t the
other We have a water motor, an
electric motor and a gas motor, and
mule.power for turning off the paper
by hand, when all those motors break
down.
But Bennett thinks he has found
some other way 20 account for delln.

ten years and then quit because his
brain wasn't any too clear without
being befoggod with Tobacco smoke
although shome men claim they can
think and write better for the use Of
a cigar or plpe.
But his last cut Is worst Of all. and
Uncle Jesse must have bet some good
money on the election and lost. He
