and culture, which many people believe |
to consist in the use of big words.
There is on one of our main thor |

of what he means by that term, and if
you consult your dictionary you will
not be much enlightened. Path |
ology is medical term signifying

does not help us much to understand
what a pathological horseshoer' is.
However, pathological horseshoer
probably gets better prices, us a vet

was reported to be in Its pcrihelion
thousands OF people have been out in
The parks. along the lake shore and in
the streets getting II glimpse Of the
