Of air wss stirring. The msu in the moon

would be sent back into the body Of the

raised against the evils OF centrsllzatlon

one could hardly realize that the bronze
eloquence of Mr.. Cicero Boyle would no
more be heard Teveberating in the labyrin-
thine depths Of the School Board hall or
the serene "Esneralds" blush of Col. John

its sweetness on the desert air or elsewhere.
