and it seemed long time coming. the
gallery testified it's appreciation by sp
plsuss. And Mr.. Jones was happy; he
had struck a responsive chord In the
hearts Of the gallery and Mr.. Robinson
made the good feeling in Wn. Payuter

agreed with W. 2. Jr,'s opinions.
Mr.. Robinson nevertheless wanted
to-day something more and he said to
