command it. Great excitement.
1.-The message you bring me so
overwhelms me with just what
expected that there is no roem in
my extended corporosity for any
other sentiment, or perhaps supper.
Wild applause.
"True, four years ago asserted
that one term of presidency was

Are any of them suffering for Office?
If so let me know. Unmitigated
