'Tell ’em to wear brass collars with spikes in ’em till we set a new mayor." The man went away laughing. Hr. Greeley threw down his pen. gathered his copy and handed it to the workman who sat beside him. “Proof ready at 5!” he shouted u use man was going out of the room. “Hello, Brower!” he said. bending to his work again. “Thought you'd blown out the gas somewhere!” {AGE 1W0. another. , _ -.. , -_ L- _.â€"‘ He sent a boy for Mr. Ottarson, the city editor.
