coats extending to the knees and well covered with but

According to tradition, Penn said to them:

Then he unrolled the parchment which he had
written the details of his plan, presented to the
sachems and asked them carefully for three
generations, that their children might know what had
passed between them. The Indians formally laid down
and then they presentd the Quakers with belt Of
pun, the official pledge of fidelity, and said:
ttWe will live in love and concord with William Penn
and his children long the sun and moon shall

IN A GREAT CITY.

@ ONE of the Juniors seem to rather mistaken

You really ought to be ashamed!
Altho your knowledge is SO small,
You do not study me at all.

Pray, is Siberia north or south7
