Paper is the stuff what schoolbooks and news are printed on. When the news are not what you like, you say the paper lies. I think " ? 1 inat s mean Decauae uic papci wu v fight you back. School-books and letters and bags and kites are made out of paper. Kites don't last long, but they are more fun than books. After while books get wore out and then they are sent back to the mills and made into paper again and the paper is made into school-books, and what chancet has a feller got against such a endless chain? That's all I wanter know about paper. How to Bankrupt tbe Doctors.
