MRS. PARTINGTON ON EXTRADITION.
“Extradition of Sims!” said Mrs. Partington, as
she paused a moment before the bulletin board of the
Commonwealth, during the great excitement; “I don't
see what they want an extra edition of Sims for, when
they had so much trouble in getting off the first one!”
“'Ere 's the Commonwealth, fourth edition!” bawled
a newsboy in her ear.
She raised her umbrella with a menacing air, for the
noise was strange to her, when her good genius stayed
her hand; the umbrella, — the old green cotton one, —
descended gently as a snow-flake, and the kind old lady
invested two coppers, American currency, in a last
week's paper which the urchin chanced to have on hand.
