Rather" assented the New Yorker
but that wasn't all. He then went to
the company, and on the plea of not
having used the ticket, got them to
refund the purchase price. He'd have
been all right if after getting it in
his pocket he hadn't set up loud and
rasping demand for interest at legal
rates. This was too much, and the
president of the company jumped over
the counter and kicked him the whole
length of a long corridor, projecting
him from ten to fifteen feet at each
kick. However, Bloggs sued for
$4,000 damages, and jury of other
commuters said he was too modest,
and awarded him $4,000; and the
newspapers all headed their accounts

The other occupants of the table

gallant officer made no comment. In
stead, he arose, and muttering some
thing about the ''closeness of the at

John B. Demosthenes was born a
good bit ago, somewhere in Greece.
He was sickly baby, pasty-faced and
spindIing. His picture was never in
the baby food circulars If his mother
had been a Spartan, Greece would
have missed heap of oratory, for
that was the kind of baby the Spar
tans took out to the bad lands and
forgot. A Spartan had to have con-
stitution and bylaws like those of a
scrub steer, no matter if he had barely
enough head to fasten his face on.
AS soon as Demosthenes was large
enough to talk, he began having diff
culties with his speech. When he went
to pronounce the letter IS" it sounded
as IL he were trying to gargle his
throat. Naturally this made him want

afflicted that way, and he, too, wants
to get on the lecture platform.
In order to get to be an aluminium
tongued spelLbinder, Demosthenes
took and gave great pains, though he
was more humane about it than some
other would-be spielers are nowadays.
Still having trouble with his sibil-
lants, he would put a wheelbarrow
load or so of powders in his fine, large
mouth, and talk through them instead
of his hat This had the effect at first
of making noise like your wife with
her mouth full of pins asking you to
hook her waist. Afterward, when he
had built up more voice, the presence
of the pebbles wore the rough edges
off from his tones.
After awhile he got so he could hold
