"He that hath ears let him hear, has been one of Kraber'a favorite catch phrases In nla street speeches, but one would have needed more than the usual complement of listening ap purtenances to have been able to get the full benefit of the war or words between Theosopnlst and Socialist when the battle waa at Ita height.
