When i think of all the years old Jones spent without enough money in his check book, it brings me to tears. If I could travel back in time I would love to share a glass of holiday punch with the great man. All this busines of whose stock is up, or down, is ridiculous. Read Machen and enjoy. You will not be disappointed.
