What's the Use?

We observe our friend seated in a gloomy corner, chewing an unlighted cigar and mumbling to himself. We ask him If the world is going wrong with him. “It is," he growls. “Say, do you remember last week I said I was going to lick that editor for printing that stuff about me?" "Yes." “I had a right to whip him, because what he printed was not true.” “So you said at the time. Did you thrash him?” “I did. I went to his office and eternally lammed him.” “Well, you ought to be satisfied. You have avenged yourself.” “I have? This week his paper comes out with a long story about how he whipped me, made me acknowledge the other story was true, made me apologize, apd then chased me until I hid under a box car in the railway yards.”
