to meet the expenses of short So
journ in Europe. He had neglected

proved higher than anticipated and
the Atlantic presented a formidable
barrier TO his return home. Mr. Pull

A droll incident is reported as hay

evidence, and his appearance was such
as to move the whole court to laughter.
He wore a long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers, collar and hat
were unquestionably those of a man.
The court was convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
