The Inside Facts.

An advertisement in an exchange says, “A bolshevik never had a bank account.” That, we believe, was not always the case. Probably he once had a comfortable sum, earned by hard work and* saved by careful skimping and continuous self-denial, in a bank presided over by a smiling gent who rejoiced in the title of “Honest George," and was tireless in the church work, prominent in all the lodges in town, a great favorite with the ladies, full of civic pride, and with a hand shake as clinging, as the clutch of an octopus. The party pouched the scudi and hit the grit betwixt sun and sun for parts unknown. Whereafter the unfortunate depositor, having In sooth no bank account, turned bolshevik and ran about jibberlng.
