is so stylish in the matter of
Hat. Then we are told, also,
that he will spread the glad tid+
ings that he lost nearly a hun
dred dollars in one of those dirty
banks when he had only thirty
five dollars and a few cents, but
he fails to state that he owed
these same dirty Banks about
thirty thousand dollars. We
would advise that Derby Hat
Larsen take up fortune telling or
write book on how to beat the
rent bill. We also suggest that
Larsen take a correspondence
course in landscape gardening so
that he may get on a steady run
ming the long handled rake on
the capitol lawn. But of all
things, Rep stay with the Der

Now you tell the truth when you
say | am taking a course in sales
manship, for once, and when you say
/ am going on the road selling ladies
undies,' l say I don't know what you
mean. am going on the road again

sell you and the doctor a suit at a

clothes and shoes last year-fairly
good for a correspondence school
salesman: almost as good as some of
the diploma mill doctors.
Now in reference to the tidings
that / lost nearly 500 in one of
those dirty banks when l had only
$35 there, you are handling the truth
carelessly again. When / am out on
business | talk business and nothing
else. There is nothing glad in the
losing of ones all in a bank: it is
bad that a bank should rob anyone
and especially rob one Of his last
cent, and then be insulted by de-
generate who would do anything for
money, who will lie and beg others
to lie in order to hijack Uncle Sam
out Of 800 acres Of land that you
can't give away. You don't know
what you are writing about or the
bank has juggled the figures: I have
the statement before me which shows

before the bank failed that the cash
