NOTE AND COMMENT

Hands across the continent to West

nobleman for prospective son in
law her own self. for sprig of
Italian nobility wants to marry Our
Portola queen. And meanwhile, be-
fore the telegraph companies shut
down on those weird code messages

plan and laden with so much mean
ing, some operator may expect to re-
ceive something like this:

And the answer will go something
like this:

Heaven only knows what it may all
mean.

think of Dickinson and BaIlinger.
