He Stoped the Paper.

Years ago, the late “Barney” Lantry took offense at something. W./iA. Morgan, editor of the Chase County (Kan.) Leader, had published and wrote him: “Stop the paper and send me the trill.” The Senator locked up th- office and sent him the key with a bill for $3,000. “Barney” was bluffed and wrote back that he simply wanted the copy of the paper coming to him stopped.
