burned hot and singing through his

the purpose Of keeping down the tenn
Derature in the magazines. This in
noyation is the result of the terrible

have been made for the accomplishing
Of the work. An order has already
been placed with the principal makers
of cooling machines, and when the

their playing to straight kicking. The
