A Minor Consideration.

 

Robert Hemingray, Sr., left for Covington, Ky., yesterday to attend to business. When he arrived at the railway station the health officers in charge wanted him to wait a few hours while they fumigated his baggage, consisting of two shirts. This did not suit the honorable gentleman. When he found that he would be unable to depart otherwise, he told the boys to keep the d—d shirts. Mr. Hemingray then boarded the train and went his way almost as happy as a clam.
