The Martial Adventures of Henry and Me - William Allen White - Bog

Bag om The Martial Adventures of Henry and Me

By rights Henry, being the hero of this story, should be introduced in the first line. But really there isn't so much to say about Henry-Henry J. Allen for short, as we say in Kansas-Henry J. Allen, editor and owner of the Wichita Beacon. And to make the dramatis personae complete, we may consider me as the editor of the Emporia Gazette, and the two of us as short, fat, bald, middle-aged, inland Americans, from fresh water colleges in our youth and arrived at New York by way of an often devious, yet altogether happy route, leading through politics where it was rough going and unprofitable for years; through business where we still find it easy to sign, possible to float and hard to pay a ninety-day note, and through two country towns; one somewhat less than one hundred thousand population, and Emporia slightly above ten thousand.
