corps at Dover, England Warren is really a

is for this that she is willing to sing in Paris at
a price which is much below what she could OBJ

row was, | think, over 10 years of age. for he
was an old man when first met him. He was
cross, grabbed, mean and always had a tremen-

extreme age is all that has prevented the Utes
from committing many serious depredations in
recent years.
