When the Washington and

Washington will be subject to

and will be called upon to defend

bilious men with managerial ideas.
Daubert, in fact. had been mentioned
as Moran'S possible successor sever al
times during the last twelve months.
Therefore, his failure to receive the
appointment came as something Of
q surprise and 1t was intimated
forthwith that Jake would proceed
TO gnash his elderly molars. This
belief seems to have been literally
favored with apple sauce.
