Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"And so they will!" cried Mickey. "You see the men who buy of me are the
top crust of Multiopolis, the big fine men who can smile, and open their
heads and say a pleasant word, and they like to. It does them good! I live

down on the cars to take a peep myself, and nearly always there are at
least three things on the first page that hit you in the eye. Once long
ago I was in the _Herald_ office with a note to Chaffner the big chief,
and I gave him a little word jostle as I passed it over. He looked at me
and laughed good natured like, so I handed him this: 'Are you the big
stiff that bosses the make-up?' He says, 'Mostly! I can control it if I
want to.' 'All right for you,' I said.
