| had about fifteen sheets Of manuscript
notes for the Star and thinking to
save that linotype man from being
rushed to death / carried them up
| and placed them into the hands of the
editor-in-chief himself. Sitting here
scribbling of a few notes the tele-
phone gives four sharp rings, and
| jumping up to see who is at the other
end I hear the editors cheerful voice
telling me that some son Of q gun
has appropriated my notes, anyhow
they cannot be found and asking me
to please repeat, if it is any thing
that / appreciate it is an encore.
