President Durham got it from this man. A. H. N. Jenkins, and if there was no muck to rake he could find something that would smell just as badly. He had a remarkable command of the Eng- lish language with a decided English accent. Nobody knew anything of his past. He had an aristocratic bearing that sugegsted that he came from some family of standing in lin- gland. In spite of the ill feeling he engendered in the community and the general dislike the people had for him. he put The Chronicle on the map and greatly increased its cir- culation. not because they liked the paper. but. because they dare not let an issue go by without reading it. He eventually left Durham and went to Brussels. tint. There he published The Brussels Review {though 1 am not quite sure that name is right. His pen was still dripping with Mom] and in due time the Brussels people in some way gut rid of him.
