ERN APPLICATION.

A CultivatCr OF the Earth having Gall
to take to Market and having no rope,
placed one end of a Y oke around the Neck
of the Calf and the other around His own.
The Calf, mistaking this for Challenge to

Exhausted Farmer, painting for Breath,

When President Cleveland, in moment

himself on the Venezuela question, he little
knew the frolicsome calf he had gathered

threatening to dow out Of the water, Tur

armenian resol ltions have been pigeon

to be.
