because there was no lew in Babazsek She had to
be procured at any price The thing happened this
way. Babazsek is miniature town, which is distn-
guished from the Hungarian villages surrounding it
by the title given to its judge who is addressed as
mayor, and on certain day in the year one or two
pieces of cattle are driven from the surrounding vii
lagos to- the market place,~and that on that same
day the ginger-cake maker from Solar, Samuel
Plokar makes his appearance, displays his wares
consisting of gingerbread hearts, soldiers and cra-
dies, (which sold in less than time. Expressed
tersely Babazsek had its annual fair. Every native
4 of Babazsek is not little proud of that fair. 1t
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.
S AS, for instance the anniversary of the death of
Francis Deak, which occurred on the second day Of
the fair ot Babazsek The cause of all this however
were the old kings, who when they hunted in the
ee hboFig forests brought with them the privilege
. of township to the villages that situated around
the hunting: ground. After ALL this was a very vau-
able privilege. aInthe city ground, garden and even
man are: of specavalhe and greater consideration.

Babazsek, that's city at all; it has not even

become enlightened by the criticisms of its enemies,
like the bee who knows how to suck honey from
poisonous plants, opened negotiations with Mrs.

did not grow within the precincts of Babazsek or
could not be manufactured there.

received with great honor and in fact spoiled in
every direction. She actually carried the
hands of the people, which however, if taken lite
rally, would have been no joke Mrs Resale MINI
weighed nearly two hundred pounds.
