TH’ MILLYIONAIRE starts in as a foreman in a can facthry. By an’ by, he larns that wan iv th’ men wurrukin’ f’r him has invinted a top that ye can opin with a pair iv scissors, an’ he throws him down an’ takes it away fr’m him. He’s a robber, says ye? He is while he’s got th’ other man down. But whin he gets up he’s a magnate.
