Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 January 1911 — In Plain English. [ARTICLE]

In Plain English.

A gentleman was sitting in his library one evening when something: tapped at the door, so he opened the window shutter. That shows what shape he was in. Pretty soon a raven strolled Into the room and roosted on a bust of Pallas over the door. The gentleman inquired if it were a bird or a devil, and reports that the bird replied "Nevermore.” Also Ke asked it If he was going to see a ladynamed Lenore again, and the raven gave the same answer. Then he tried to shoo It out, but it preferred to stay where it was warm. No affidavit accompanies the poeifl. Probably the man needed some bromo.
