 Now it is pretty generally known ples company, has not been out of town this summer. Mir.

Tele- phone calls would get him out of bed at all hours of the night, re minding him that he had failed to keep an engagement and when he told the parties that he did not know them at all and had no engagement at that hour with any living soul they became quite hostile, and asked him if he was not Theodore John son from Fairbanks, and was he not Q merchant2
 He had to acknowledge the corn, but still insisted that the date was not of his making. This would be followed by other calls. reminding him that he was the Johnson want ed and that while waiting for him to keep his appointment they had disposed of two bottles of beer and would soon have the other two dis posed of if he did not hurry.
