At THE PHOENIX Jack told the clerk
he wanted to bring some laundry there, but
would be so busy all day he wouldn't have

'Then we can send for it or you can
bring it down tonight" answered the
clerk. "We are open all night.
"How about dry cleaning some of those
old suits?" the clerk suggested. You

'sWhy, it's the biggest and best laundry

"All right, Dear" answered Jack, "but
I'll bet you have to pay whole lot tor all

''Wrong again, replied Dot emphatical-
", ''she's reasonable enough for any bank

a big volume of business and buy in such
large quantities that they can afford to sell

genius In devising means for his
character to obtain money to begin
all over again.
Hearst Offers Him Job
The character parlayed so cents
into thousands Of dollars and then
lost 1t all on one smash. Mutt at
the races had San Francisco by the
ears.
The Examiner, which had refused
Job to Bud Fisher when he was
willing to draw layouts at SIS a
week. now made him an offer which
he accepted. and Mr.. A. Mutt went
to Hearst's San Francisco paper.
