For the past two weeks the smoke
from the smoke stacks of our mills,
and the chimneys of a thousand dwell

full columns with hardly wind enough
to cause it to diverge from perpendic-
ular. These seemingly innumerable

most beautiful sight. Get up in the
early morning as we do, and enjoy it.

fearful load of responsibility in being
mistaken for his wife, while he is cheer
ed by the assurance that he will not be
deserted by his friends inasmuch as he
has not gone back on them. Brave
Governor
