the initiated this may appear to be one
of the esoteric mysteries of the pro-
fession, but 1t is very easy to under
stand when you get one of Mr.. Clay

to hail a taxicab to take him to see the
finish of q fight, the theater attaches
saw that he had a natty new cap. He
was compelled to make a speech iii
which he declared in ornate and digni-

cap is coeval with the regeneration and
rejuyenation of the manly art of self
defense on the coaster words to that
