Hundreds OF years ago there lived n
giant whose name was Boyle Bill, He
was so strong that all the people were
afraid OF him. Each day he went to
villages and carried up to his castle, on

they armed themselves with axes, picks
and shovels, but the sight of him scared
them so they dropped their arms and hid
behind bushes But one day they thought
OF something. They got the latest OF

took the ripest fruits and the sweetest
vine and put all on big table, and in

man is a question the BARRIERS Of Kansas
propose to settle4n the courts. Notice has

The trouble grows out of law. passed

were TO be prosecuted to the fuii extent OF
