about some of the barking already

(nainly members of the suicide club
want to keep the thing open at all
hours. Now. that's II very small ques-
tion and can well afford to wait hun
tlrcd years or so, but say, fjust between
you and me) that beautiful row of
water oaks along Depot Street and lust

casual examination will show that in
