pleasant trip across the continent
with good opportunity to drop off
by the way and count railroad ties
in getting back to the fair land of

bly, the next story will DE to
the effect that John L. has been in
duced to desert his farm and lead
the Boston division of the army
that is to occupy Hawaii. All that
remains to make our prediction
complete is for some bright ST.
