bound, athlete, system of diet and regimen,
training for this eventfu collision of intellect The
day of All Fools also came; although the duration and
severity of winter menaced that either the dspeasue
of the Pandec the dismay of nature, in view of this
threatened search into the privacy of her mysteries
would never again revoVe upon the smiles and tears
of April. In due time learned that the champion
of the covenant had been waited down stream from
the rising in FURNISHED panoply and fraught with
abundant sylloglsc appointments from the ample ma
gazine of Bethany The European and philosopher
had gained sadness the Atlantic brine; had heard

he came upwards on us from the west. Thus these
conflicting minds came in contact in city like two
conflicting thunder clouds.
Fame had already blown her clarion, and our city
thronged with vsitants from two three hundred

western phrase trn about, thirty minutes each until
the other should cry quarter Under correction,
we venture to suggest that i'll similar cases hereafter
victory ought to be adjudged to the party that shall re-
ceye the enemy's fire, during his own silence, with
plary patience.
Travelling back to the ages of philosophy, and re-
Numbering the wise masters and the sages

STAGE and in purer air. Their business not only
to judge, but to preserve fair play, and interdct all
poisoned weapons and all other trespass of the prescr

April IS, 1929, the church and the open lead

there Even our fair spinsters, with their shining
morning faces, were waiting to catch mouthful of
metaphysics, with which to swoop the nteects of their
SWANS at the first convenient period after honeymoon
At nine in the morning, fine April gave us the
light of his countenance The combat, unparalleled
in the annals of dsputation, opened On the coun
