level headed and have covered them

valuable.

lose money eagerly bobbing for cells

water. Had they lost it whaling in

wouldn't have trickled down their
grief worn cheeks in such freshet.
But darn them let them recoup by
moving their barbed wire fence to
Waterbury and setting it up round
the asylum and selling tickets to see
"living pictures" as others do in
larger places. Those who fence in
ponds would fence in the fragrance of
the sweet smelling fields were it pos
sible. Let them stuff their fastidious
abdominal pantries at home on "Bos-
