That cuss is pizen, and always turns up
at the wrong place.

pays III nothin. 1t must hurt q man to

Wv course, after this hoomlliaung dis
closoor thar wuzn's no yoose in passn the
resolooshens, and the meetin adjourned
sadly, and re-sssembied at Basc)ms
But We are jst ez much opposed to
speshe resumpshen ez ever, for all that.
