in getting some printing done in
Chicago that will be necessary for the

from coming IN. The crowd was ter

restaurants and, | believe. in the homes.
Men come, are delighted. and return

been SO complete, that | feel it makes
little difference where we go. We can
not help doing good, anyway, but ii we
