Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 275, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 November 1913 — Missed the Boat. [ARTICLE]

"Your ancestors did not come over in the Mayflower!” snapped the tall, spare, thin-lipped Miss Hester Plymrock. 1 “No,” and Alias Ananias rubbed his chubby hands together, while an oily smirk spread over his fullmoon phiz. “You see, it was this a-way. The old man forgot to wind up the alarm clock and so missed the boat.” —Judge.
