our principal foreign Ministers calls for liberal IN

that the salaries attached 70 these Offices were

| To Bookworm: Poe's poem, "The Bells, is
commonly supposed TO DO one Of that bards

The Axe" tho creation Of the poet Robert A.

cline to the opinion that it suggested 1.-The

| II is a good while since heard anything
from our old friends, the Gypsy Moth Commits
sioncrs of Massachusetts, though news regarding
their work and plans should have been fortlcOm-

not been abandoned, however, as the report re-

maple sugar in the world" So The Carthage
