"And some of the folks drummed up the brass band, and it led off, with Major Slott following, carrying an American flag hung with roses. Then came the clergy in carriages, followed by the Masons and Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. And the Young Men's Christian Association turned out with the Sons of Temperance, about forty strong, in full regalia.
Then I went down to the Patriot office to persuade Major Slott to denounce the fraud practiced by the company. While I was in the editorial room two or three visitors came in. The first one behaved in a violent and somewhat mysterious manner. He saluted the major by throwing a chair at him. Then he seized the editor by the hair, bumped his head against the table three or four times and kicked him.
Major Slott of The Patriot has suffered a good deal from these concerns; and when "The Great European Circus and Metropolitan Caravan" tried to slip off the other day without settling its advertising bill, he called upon the sheriff and got him to attach the Bengal tiger for the debt.
"'I don't think I understand you. What d'you say? "'Bring out the twins, said Judge Twiddler. 'Less look at 'em. "'Twins! says Bill. 'Twins! Why, what d'ye mean, judge? "'Why, the twins. Rush 'em out. Hold 'em in the window, so's we can see 'em, said Major Slott.
Captain Slott, of the Twentieth Precinct, took command of the police force detailed to cooperate with the troops, but delayed action till the arrival of the company promised from the arsenal.

I'd sooner he'd kick me from here to Borneo and back again than to take that advertising away from the Patriot.

She has been almost equally happy in views of the picturesque Campagna, and in interiors, both in oil and water-colors. The interior of the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception, in the Church of the Gerolamini, is strong in execution and good in drawing and color. <b>MÖLLER, AGNES SLOTT.</b> Born in 1862.

"Well, then, let it alone; and I hope one of those epidemic diseases will get you and lay you up for life." As Mr. Barker withdrew, Major Slott threw up the windows, and after catching his breath, he called down stairs to a reporter, "Perkins, follow that man and hear what he's got to say, and then blast him in a column of the awfulest vituperation you know how to write."
Old Slott intended the boy to be a minister; but as soon as he was old enough to take notice he cried for every newspaper that he happened to see, and no sooner did he learn how to write than he began to slash off editorials upon "The Need of Reform," etc.
