CHAPTER VI.

Ordinarily Mr.. Cullen was satisfied
to bring a single evening paper home
with him and when he laid it on the
hall table 1t was generally creased
down the financial page; but tonight
he brought two, and each of them had
wrinkles across the market reports
and were folded so as to feature the
departments devoted to local news.
The Journal had beaten the Herald by
two sticks and subhead. but the Her
aid had honored Dicky Morgan with a
kindly editorial and both papers had
stated explicitly where Hilliard was
making his headquarters. Mr.. Cullen
would have been seriously offended If
he hadn't been mentioned at least once
in each paper; and this Is no more
reflection upon his vanity than the fact
that he cherished lively anticipation
for what the ost-Standard was going

Mr.. Cullen was hospitable; but Mr..
Cullen was also the tiniest bit of a
snob-not carping. contemptuous,

his liking for the things he liked-and
one of them was to be somebody. and

GUESTS

One editor who attended the state
constitutional amendment convention
here last week went home and wrote
an editorial to the effect that he at
tended with an open mind, but argu-
ments advanced were not sufficient TO
convert him. We happen to know of
our own knowledge he didn't attend
any of the business sessions, taking
advantage of only the dinner and the
smoker which followed. during which
a few after-supper bulls were slung.
Converted? We should say not. Open
mind? Maybe so. We can't say as 90
that, but we do know his mouth was
open when time came to tie the feed
bag on. And if he sasses back at us,
we'll tell where he lives, print his
name, expose where he came from
and state why he left.-Herb Felkel

Dear Bromides: Some weeks ago
we received a letter from your fair
city. inviting us to the state consti-
tutional amendment convention, and
when we somewhat rudely declined,
saying the occasion woald be a
Belshazzar's feast, you so courteously
replied that all coming would only
be guests that we almost felt
ashamed of ourself and wrote a half
way apology. But now this poor edi-
tor you allude to goes to your town,

quet out of courtesy, 1--WE get enough

and then we would have poked around
and talked to this man and that man
about the matter, as the editor you
refer to may have done, for we found
out long ago that we can obtain more
solid information from a few well in
formed people than from a crowd.
And then we would have come home
and, written as we darn please. And
you would have denounced Us and told
where we came from, which would
have been an undeserved assault on
the people who live there, and who
have had trouble enough since their
grandfathers chased US out. We are
right glad we didn't go to your bank-
