git through their tariff talks

customed walks.

stoned by delay:

afraid to pay
But we miss the gentle eloauence of
speakers that come down

We love that good old tale of how a
favored place like this
Is certain to become. in time, a great
metropolis:

delighted when !.
They compliment the wisdom of our
risin' business men.
1T may be but a custom. | have heard

But all the same we like it; ar we wish

urged that remedial measures be adopted without
