In tn mist iv all this prosperity that makes life twice as eXpinsive tO me as it was while it was a luxury and befure it become a necessity, l rayjoice, as Hogan says. that I'm a citizen iv no mean city ad- joining a large lake with a small water tax. Have another dhrink. Hinnissy. Barrin' typhoid fever, there isn't a headache in a bari iv it.
