ton has been augmented by the champi0nshpof
the le.hll Hoalley That insatiate denosher Of

mendous difference between thinking the old seces-
sion brag and buster and giving utteIance to % at

Brethren, it can't be done. 4 back down il essen.
tally an un graceful performance and any attempt
TO accomplish this movement IN dgniiled or inn
presslye way will be Disappointing failure. What
you want to do is to back out at and not stand
