To-night I'll show you how to handle a bunch of corruptionists. I'll show them what Mellinger, private secretary, means when you spell it with the cotton and tissue paper off. "Mellinger appears shaky, and breaks his glass against the neck of the bottle. "I says to myself, 'White man, if I'm not mistaken there's been a bait laid out where the tail of your eye could see it.
