[Y]ou have undertaken to rid all our newspapers and periodicals of untrue, unclean and dishonest advertisements. It seems to me that you have already gained your victory and henceforth have only to guard the fruits of it, for, recently I examined as many newspapers and magazines as I could lay hands on just to see if I could find in them those old, alluring advertisements, ranging from the quack doctor to the quacker promoter and the quackest oracle of fate. There was nothing doing—everything as clean as a hound's tooth and as wholesome as sunshine.

Justice Holmes was a most popular guest and an inveterate dinner-goer.

But he cooked such good barbeque that one day, Albert Hartley, who's long dead now, said, Why don't you cook up some 'que and sell it? People would come buy it if you cooked it.

After all that hard work cleaning up, along comes one big storm and we're ass over teakettle again.
