A Poor SPECULATION. "A travelling book

proportion the Lives Of Fremont and Blu

accordingly and set out. The Lives OF Ere.
mont went off readily, but still the one Life
of Buchanan stuck. On replenshing his
stock he heard OF a great Buchanan Mass
Meeting" somewhere. and 80 he ven,ured
upon two more. But alas, they too ROMAN
