ENJOYMENT OF HUNGER AMONG POOR MANS
San Francisco, October 18th.
To my friendship companion, Editor New York newspaper, which is a very warm thing.
Dear Mr.—When Hon. Taft make Presedential Speech to idle labouring classes in N. Y. of recently, one Hungry Man in audience send up following question to know:
“How can I get job and food when I have not got it?”

“How can I get job & food when I have not got it?”
