chair completely concealed him. When he
leaned back his head came up against a carved
lion's head the nose of which when damned |

anything but agreeable. Finally be pushed |

velvet rocking chair, which although cheap, |
affair, is the most comfortable |
thing in its line eXtaut The Governor thinks /
that the whole affair is too elaborate for any |
use, and he is considering seriously the pro
oriety of sending it to the Pope of Rome.
