Seems to me I've made
the hit of my young life
in Richmond. It's some
town, and The Evening

paper.
"Say, Boss, I was tickled
pink Saturday when an
up-to-date old gentleman,
who had me on his lap in
a Broad-and-M Main car,
said to his 'seatmate':: The

a regular live one in

made those editors hustle
to make that last page
keep up with her. Then,
Boss, the other man
reached over, picked me
up and said: Let me give
her the 0. o. Did he? III
say SO. He didn't miss a
thing on that snappy, new
last page and now we've
got him!
We'll, Boss, we gotta
go lively to keep up with

First we trimmed the town
with the "big fight EXTRA"
then we landed a beat on
the arrest of Davis in
Florida, following that up
with a wallop like the one
that sent Georges into

the big Irish news over
