Do You Read Borrowed Paper
A miscellany of stray notes and jokes follows a Salt Lake letter from Geo. F. Canis to a Western paper. It blends references to Weiser sightseeing for a journalist, a kindergarten language gag with Dennis Quinn and Reddy Mulligan, a Western railroad quip about locomotive ears, and brief humor riffs from Harper’s Bazar, ending with the question Do you read borrowed paper?
