If one could guess that the war would,
have resulted as IL did, and cou,d warn OF
excess during its waging, he should know
also that blythe order of nature and the
logic Of events, silly specimen of rule
called Caesrisln, would appear TO its
puerility, the attempt ofcivil corruption,
Yet, all these things come and by the

free--will beat fort "The coarse, un-
compromising man, "said Falkland point

walters doing the bidding ofthe master

give US the genuine article, and then the

building sooner begin. The Radical Con-
