The Wicked Printer.
Unobserved and unannounced the
president of, the Dorcas Society of
the First Jerusalem Church entered
the composing room just in time to
hear these words issue from the
mouth of the boss printer:
"Billy, go to the devil and tell him
to flplsh that murder he began this
morning. Then kill ‘William J. Bry
an’s Youngest Grandchild,’ and dump
that ‘Sweet Angel of Mercy’ into the
hell bog, Than make up that
‘Naughty Parisian Actress’ and lock
up the ‘Lady in Her Boudoir.’ ”
Horrified, the good woman fled
from that place of sin, and now her
children wonder why they are not
allowed to play with the printer’s
youngsters.
