I DON'T BELIEVE THAT STORY.
Readers of '"Doinbey and Son" will remember that when Paul asks Mrs. Pipehin questions she tolls him a mad bull tossed the hoy that asked questions. Paul replies: "If the bull was mad. why did the boy ask it questions? I don't believe that story." The contempt for the intelligence of the ordinary newspaper reader is .shown by this: "A MILLION A IP, F/S DEATH. ;'SEATTLE Feb. 28. ''A millionaire manufactuircr and capitalist, AY. I.lofins, died to-day, aged 130. lie started life as v day laborer in a, foundry, and sawd enough money to buy a blast furnace. Ho started rolling mills, and grew to be the wealthiest man on the Paciiic Coast of America." I don't believe that story. A dead millionaire is worth as much as a dead donkey. If the animals were alive, the donkey would be worth most.
