IL has been urged that when that eter.
nal question was asked. "On what

hath grown so great,." II was shown
that not only Caesar himself. but his
ancestors before him for a thousand
years. had fed on the flesh Of the kid,

due the greatness OF the Caesars. and
through them the glory and power OF

were some forty or fifty guests and all
present are unanimous on the point
that they never attended a more pleas
ant or enjoyable function in their
lives.
The. principal delicacies were baked
possum and barbecued kid and that
old and much vexed question came up
again. Both had their ardent champi.

their arguments were eloquent. but.

And he's OF the same opinion stili.
The possums were baked by cele-

and the kid was barbecued by Mr.. su.

were perfection itself. and II can be
truly said OF the whole affair that not
one thing more could have been done
or added 10 contribute to the comfor;
and pleasure OF the guests.
