A rumor of a sudden advance of the enemy sent the mothers with babes in arms scurrying north for safety. My mother was among them. I was a month old at the time. Thirty years later I battled for the mastery in the police office in Mulberry Street with a reporter for the Staats-Zeitung whom I discovered to be one of those invaders, and I took it out of him in revenge.
A man was inside, his feet perched upon a desk and he was reading a German newspaper. "Paper, sir?" Ted asked him. "No," was the answer. He did not even glance up. "I have a Staats-Zeitung and a Wochen-Blatt," coaxed Ted. All this time he was taking stock of the room. "A Wochen-Blatt? I'll take one," the man became interested. He offered a half dollar to Ted.
He had carefully seen to everything and there was no sign of any disturbance. "Wait a minute," said Strong. There was a pause. Then he heard Strong speaking to him again, "Say something right out, not too loud, just ordinary conversation." "Want to buy a paper? News, Post, American, Staats-Zeitung?" said Ted to the empty air.
I have had a short eulogium of your work inserted in the Berliner Staats-Zeitung. You see that I do not neglect your interests, and that, for love of you, I even turn journalist. You have omitted to state in your prospectus whether your plates are lithographed, as I fear they are, and also whether they are colored, which seems to me unnecessary.
