there will be NO further shipments OF wheat

her a pretty prank. She had solemn
dinner, at which a Grand Duke, Mr..
Gladstone and Dean Stanley assisted.
At desert the children were sent for.
When they came in Prince George was
riotous. Grandma reproved him. He
went on heedlessly. Grandmamma
was again obliged to interfere. At

table-a favorite mode of punishment,
