he was Bishop Of Stepney, he was the

thirty years old He tells the follow

an aged man of eighty The new dean
asked if he had not been sexton for
many years, to which the latter made
the cheerful reply:

the mouthpiece and said the alpha

over the paper, and for each letter OF

This was what Mr.. Edison had hoped
for. He now held the steel point still,
