Why doesn't Mississippi raise her own mules?" i "Professor," drawled a thin, piercing voice from the middle of the audience, "kin I interrupt you a second?" "Certainly, sir." "I'd like to ask you a question. "I shall /be very glad to answer it if I am able," said the expert. "Well, sir," continued the thin v/vi c>o e 1 /-> rf 1 t- onrl c/il amn 1 tt "finur tho ?
