...1880s, war-weary Founder Abell began to turn the Sun over to three of his boys. Of these, rotund George William served as president until 1894. Benign Son Edwin Franklin then took over. To needy folk, Son Edwin would give bits of paper with "$10 - E.F.A." scribbled across them. These informal checks were always good for face value with the Sun's cashier.

Tulane's diffidence toward the offer of Jack's corpse was not without significance, for the whole subject of cadavers used by students of anatomy is one which medical school authorities understandably dislike airing in public.

From the wheezing pugs and spotted Dalmatians of the 1880s through the French poodles of the Century's turn and the post-War German shepherds, fashions in dogs have fluctuated almost as frequently and inexplicably as fashions in dress. Katharine Cornell's co-starring Flush in The Barretts of Wimpole Street may have had something to do with the cocker spaniel's recent spectacular rise in the U. S. A more likely explanation, considering its simultaneous rise in Britain, is growing appreciation of the flop-eared little dog's all-around qualities...
