All Bible readers are aware OF the
fact that at least as long ago as the
Sayiours birth there were wise men in
the east. Indeed, back Of that was
King Solomon, famous for his wisdom.
Others, both before him and since,
might be mentioned, but it would be a
work of supererogation. But new
wise man has arisen suddenly in New
Hampshire whom wish to introduce
to my readers as the real thing. As the
Republicans in congress are all broken
up and are busily and angrilE seeking
a Moses TO lead them out Of the wilder
ness Into which the sugar trust and
cigar trust led them on the Porto Rican
tariff bill, volunteer my services free
gratis for nothing to announce 10
them the glad tidings. Eureka l
have found hin-their Moses, Of whom
they are IL such sore need. Ills name
is J. -sloazo Greene; his habitat Moul-
tonboro, in the cid Granite State. lie
is q stem winder, and no mistake.
On the I'd day OF February. y. D
1900, just after William J. Bran had
finished his New England tour. Mr..
Greene delivered speech il the city CT
Concord, the place where Senator's
Gallinger and Chandler had their his
toric quarrel last Sumner, and where
they came near to contributing to the
