freshments, ask whether somebody would like
to see a pretty little bird" In the last instance

futtering around the room.
One OF the eonfederstes then rushed 10 the
bar door TO close it a. il to keep the bird in.
while another rushed out as il TO prevent the
birds escape. The little scsne presents itself
to the minds eye ss one Of considerable excite

from the south Sea islapds and also from GER

half the price Of ordinary butter in London.
