and inspiriting production to take in
Inc nanda and 1t Is opened with On sHtie-
ipatory zest that is rewarded amply by
reading OF the contents. Preserving the
characteristics of style in, design and
dress that made the Chap Book unique
among magazines the large size and
square shape are strikinRly handsome

conspicuous for the opening instalment,

The result i'm Talbot county arose from

tho German men have been elected. In
one or two instances which could specify
these men were cut simply because they

shows that the anti-Gorman outcry did
