mayor, and a certain day in the year one or two
pieces of cattle driven from the surrounding vii

tensely Babazsek had its annual fair. Every native
of Babazsek is not little proud of that fair. It
divides the calendar year in the of the world
into two parts So that one part is made to occur
SO and many days before the fair, and the other
part afterward.
- AS for instance, the anniversary of the death of
Francis Deak which, occurred on the second day of
the fairot Babazsek The cause of all this however
were the old kings, who when they hunted in the
reighboripg forests brought with them the privilege
of toWnshpt the villages that situated around
the hunting ground After all, this very valu-

no future and certainly thereis not Jew there and
it, therefore, cannot be called city.
Babazsek on the other hand, decried the other
little cities but I'm not here for the purpose Of paint
ing these disgusting controversies. 1 only remark

poisonous plants, opened negotiations with Mrs.
MINI for the purpose of having her move to Babaz-
SEX and open there, opposite to the smithy.
Yes, opposite the smithy, SO that every stranger
passing through the place should at it, espe

Soap. whips, paint combs, shoe-tps, nails, spices,
cinnamon linseed-oil-in short every article which
did not grow within the precincts of Babazsek
could not be manufactured there.
Thus Mrs MINI came to Babazsek where she was
received with great honor, and in fact spoiled in
every direction She actually carried the
hands Of the people, which, however, if taken lite
