21/23 I am continually beset by various clubs and societies all over the land to donate to them the _Tribune_. I always tell them if it is worth reading it is worth paying for. The curse of this country is the deadhead. I pay for my own _Tribune_ every morning."

He was always ready to work in the cause of reform without pay and without applause. |
