Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 December 1903 — A Limited Edition. [ARTICLE]

A Limited Edition.

There Is a paper published in London called the Anti-Top Hat. It depends for its circulation not upon subscribers, but upon the will of an eccentric old man who hated the conventional form of headgear with a hatred which he carried beyond the grave. He fought the “stovepipe” hat while alive, and when he died he left his nephew $2,000 a year on condltloh that he edit and publish a monthly paper devoted to ridiculing the “top hat.” The nephew accepted the legacy and the responsibility and issues his paper regularly, though he confines each edition to three copies, one for himself and one for each of the old man’s executors.
