still spending the evening with
Mr.. and Mrs. Jarr.
They had been discoursing on the
psychology Of advertising. But. big
words as these were. they did not
wholly conceal the plain fact that their
present vocation a street peddlers Of
corn salvs did not make them COM
pany to be wholly proud Of.
This crossed the minds of both these
keen-minded gentlemen. who had been
betrayed into frank speaking under the
cheering influence OF the Jars plain
but substantial hospitality.
This said Prof. Slurk raising a

to the race which the hyphenated American ayows, and which stands
lover in the general esteem with every theatre riot and every racial
assault on American freedom of speech.
