their obstinacy-sicha willful cussidnis
that RELY hev made up my mind that

die up 10 us ez Kind ez a bloomin maid
en- does TO her first adored, and they
fing us just ez natral ez that same
guileless maiden does when number
two heaves in site. They behave we'll
for a season, ,aperrently for no other
purpose than to enjoy our discontinue

gtttln suspishen thro me that they
amt half ez stoopid ez they look, and
that, after all, we are not fur from the
trooth when wesay in our resolooshens
that they are the ekals NV the whites.

Like Saul of Tarsus, see lite. Sence |
the passage Nv the Military bill hev
diskivered many things too tejus too |

these things sence that occurrence. But
let us accept the situashen and bless the
Lord that 1t hez resulted in developin !
excellencies where we didn't expect to |
find 'em."
There wuz an atfectin scene after SER
vice wuz over. Deekin Pogram, Capt. |
McPelter, and Elder McGavitt shook |
hands with EN- with a degree NV coIial- |
