plexian went into the shop of barber,
one of his parishioners, to be shaved.

of drinking, after which his hand was,
in consequence, unsteady at his work.

YOU have to steal another horse 10 get
there on; but, if you have only killed
an acquaintance, there is no reason why
you should put yourself TO the inconven-

where you are. prove insanity, self-de-

citizen. - Teas StftiHqs
