Where they'll sell goods rs in days of yore

Plenty to eat, and none offended.

For the far west, her fortune to seek.

I'll send it along to The NoRrHERNER.

follows:

From the Chicago paper the tale sped
into every other payer of the country as

story was very silly and of small account.
even had it been true, it furnished
grand capital for campaign purposes
The matter would not be worth abiding

ours-the privilege Of the press to
