one for the longitudinal stands. The
plating is composed only of simple
darning alternately over two and under

row. Nothing could be easier. and the
effect is quite as good as that of many of

understanding over the matter. IL was
resolved that all differences affecting the

mated ard that each club. retain all such
receipts. IL was also decided to withdraw
and abrogate the indianapolis agreement.

Then there were TWO.
Two pretty ships were sailing
AS grandly as could be;
And "Ship ahovr another
Sailed out upon the SEA-
Then there were TnREE.
Ihad a pretty rossbush,
That grew beside my door;
Three roses blcomed upon IL.
Aud soon there came one more.
Then thers were rorn-
Four bees n-gatherins honey
The busiest things alive;
And soon there came another
From out the crowded hive.
Thon there were FIVE.
These last wore rather hard oncs-~
The roses and the bees
But my mamma says. Numbers
Get harder by degrees"
Harder than thesel
