granted untold acres. in return for which
they proved ngrates. They sought ease

to procure these they int igu'd, falls fed,
and even stole with as few qualms of con-
science as a professional burglar cracks

Lies are thicker in the News Letters
rticle than cranberr.es are in a New
ersey bog. The pity of 1t is that so
many of them originate here in news
apers that get their advertising sup

ong-sufferlng missionaries and are
Iuick to turn and sting them.
