Fired the Book Agent.

“Look here, Charley, did you see that?” ’•No. What was it?” ••That man there picking up his books just jumped from the top of those high front steps. The man of the house aimed a kick at him. He must have jumped twenty feet.” “He’s a book agent, probably.” “Yes, and he speaks well for Chicago literary activity. This town, I tell you. is taking some big leaps in literature.’’—Chicago Herald.
