OF this particular Indian has some
thing to do with his adopting what

one, requiring the exhibition of great tact TO
avoid unpleasant incidents He was successtul

is attributable entirely to the retiring minister
desire to secure the best possible treatment Tor
his impaired eyesight, which has caused MIN
