unregenerated newspaper man,
“I reckon I tlo."
‘'Tli*n why don’t you ? Now is

“I—t.’’ George did not know
what to say.
“Oli, my dear brother,” inter¬
rupted the preacher, "you are mi.

Why, 6ft why, do you not fall up¬

“Ticket ? Ticket ?’’ exclaimed
George. “I don’t need a ticket;
I’m an editor.”
George was not disturbed fur¬

“Tnat’s so,” added a second,
“What we want here is money.”
“Yes, we want capital to do;

so it went down the line until
was
wanted. The last man looked
up hi The stranger and added;
“Don’t It seem to you that way
