That members of parliament should

1t is lucky for a great many members
that the rules Of debate, while demand

bridge Of their noses as If they had

In this way, and It is very difficult to
say whether he is not doing peaceful

nose.
It has been said that the leader O.
the house of commons deliberately sets
a trap for his adversaries by pretending
to sleep in the shadow Of his hat brim
SO they may fall into error and he car

Another wonderful trick is that per

For the past two years at the college We
