mittee 10 said to have screwed in its
monocle and glared on the plain name
OF the plain citizen, guiltless Of an or
namented handle or an alphabetical
tail.
Then the awe inspiring voice OF the
House Committee troubled the ear OF
night. "Who is this man whose name
appears among the illustrious cogno-
mems OF our order: Who was this
mans grandmother Can aLy one as

shoulder all the blame, which / am told

The feast was laid and the banqueters
made merry altho' / am sure there was
a chord in the generous Doctors heart
which would have vibrated to more
liehtsome melody il the plain citizen

has good, generous meals at home, and
