that Agent Nayhugh is to be remov-
Cd, so 1t seems that his course is also
sustained by tho Department. He
charged Meriwohcr, Carson and Miss
Egnn with Il conspiracy to murder
him in cold blood, and ;hR. an actual
attempt ~as made TO carry their plan
into effect. They, ON the Other hand,
charged the agent with all sorts OF
m~isdoings, the mildest OF which, if
true, would be more than sufficient
TO justify his official decnpi;ation. II
Mayhugh's allegations were true the
prosecution of the offending parties
should have been continued; their
cases taken before Il United States
grand jury md every effort made to
to bring them to deserved
punishment. II Mr.. Aiayhugh
ohEGed then falsely. he should hare
been removed rs soon as the Depart
ment was made aware OF his attempt
TO implicate innocent persons in a
criminal act. To cay the least there
is no sense OF justice i'll the course

And present yourself with n smile.
Then make up L bundle of troubles
And give them away to the Past.

Where worries are cast.
Just bundle them onto the Old Year
And let him lug them away,
And next give a heart of hope. dear,
To the New Year blithe N gay.
And then give praise to the best thing,
In the people you meet this year:

way, but by dint of bard work and
great business ability has built up the
largest concern of its kind in the
world. His name is a synonym for
honesty and fair dealing. The great
guitar bargain shown in another col

to those who are unsteady inclined,
and their mammoth catalogue OF
everything to eat, wear or use should
be in the hands of everyone.
