"Thank you - and would you mind telling me what is the explan ation of 'deiting along on twenty pcrf ' "Twenty hacks a week twenty .-mutinous." "I see then that remark about 'Nix on the wealthy water." "Why. afraid champagne would put hint out of business." "Ah. I see. That is more intelligible, 'Handing out the icy eye to ihe man behind the bank roll?' that means " "(living (he rich miy the frozen, face." "Thank you et v much. And then what nhout Mho .-how's on the. paa ?' " "Thai stunl they were pulling off was on Ihe blink and they got il in ihe neck." (The Knli-hman -a-ed. hut continued.)
