1t is in the plans OF this colonizer to

their families and locate upon the

He would necessarily confine his

sed much relative to the stand con-
gress is taking upon the question of

likely to obtain four years hence.
Congress is represented as rolling a

Mr.. Congress" walks along and is
finally confronted by monster cat.
The cat is made to ask "Don't you

years ago, and on the cats back is
perched the same woodshed. The
story told in the picture will prove
true Tariff revision sentiment is sup
