See? This world
down on the streets is in such a mix a laugh is the scarcest thing there
is; so they _pay_ for it. No grouchy, sad-cat-working-on-your-sympathy kid
sells many. I can beat one with a laugh every inning."
"What's 'inning,' Mickey?" came the next question.
"Playin' a side at a ball game. Now Ty Cobb----"
"Go on with what you say about the papers," interrupted Peaches.
"All right!" said Mickey. "'Here's your nice, clean morning paper!
Sterilized! Deodorized! Vulcanized! I _like_ to sell them. You _like_ to
buy them! _Sometimes_ I sell them! Sometimes I _don't!_ Latest war news!
Japan takes England! England takes France! France takes Germany! Germany
takes Belgium! Belgium takes the cake! Here's your paper! Nice clean
paper! Rush this way! Change your change for a paper! Yes, I _like_ to
sell them----' and on and on that way all day, 'til they're gone and every
one I pick up and smooth out is gone, and if they're torn and dirty, I
carry them back on the cars and sell them for pennies to the poor folks
walking home.
