who has fieeced him has neither graft

himself, who has risked his money On
merechance, or on baseless information,
or on fraudulent representations, freely
pronouDces himself a fool, judging him

siece Of toasted bread. After putting his
lips thereto the host would pass the cur

It TO his right hand neighbor. In this
manner the cup would circulate around
