"By no means but you must not swear. I pay over the money for your scrip, and you pocket a premium. It seems to me a very simple transaction."

The last number under Bok's full editorial control was the issue of October, 1919.

"What! you, Mr Sawley the stoker's friend the enemy of gambling the father of Selina condescend to so equivocal a transaction? You amaze me!
I knew my employer had oversold his holdings, but there would be no trouble in making up the five thousand head, as all our neighbors would gladly turn in cattle to fill the contract.
