Appeared then in this emergency the paladin of a hundred stock pools to relieve the Southern Pacific from the hand of the oppressor. He had purchased a large Block of stock for himself and had persuaded his friends to invest even more largely; their combined holdings were almost sufficient to oust the invader and to control the road’s policy.

When they investigated they found a lot of queer old fellows sitting around In the lobby of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and were confirmed in their suspicion deeming these old fellows yaletudinarian jokes, This is a mistake, The Fifth Avenue Hotel Is not the Old Jokes’ Home. It is a political sanitarium. The old fellows in the corners think they are politicians, and otherwise resemble other old jokes—hence the mistake Js a natural one.
