the great man.
Even now, in his SEVENTEEN year,
he is big man; in his prime he must
have been immense, White hair and
beard broad, thoughtful forehead,
surmounted by the Turkish tarboosh;
kindly eyes, dulled little by age,
but lighting up wonderfully when he
talks about things which interest him;
a straight, powerful nose; a large
mouth, which must once have been
hard and cruel now softened by ad.
versity. Though the day is warm,
he wears an oyercoat, and he walks

wrapping and other grades of wood
fiber papers, with a corresponding ad-

The combination is believed to be
a successor to the General Paper Co.,
which was dissolved last May by an

quarters A new cook was engaged

the tortoise: MY conscience! Look
