And yet the King could be pompons

In spite of the fact that he had q
larger income than Elizabeth and that
he was Scotch, and therefore should
have been saving, King James was
perennially hard up. He quarreled
with Parliament, which he could not
for the life OF him regard as anything
but a crowd of wranglesome. turbulent
knaves who grudged their duty to
their God-sent Sovereign. And so he
determined to get along as much of
the time as possible without Parlia-

A. Caminetti has but recently assumed

1T is nothing unusual for the district

most all of the native animals wear
white coverings. These seem to have
been given them for two reasons. The
main one is the animal is protected from
its enemies by being made difficult to be
seen. Often in summer. when the snow
is gone, the fur takes other tints, more
like the color of the ground and the
plants among which it lives. Again 1t

Here's a New Animal.

A new species of animal has been
found in this state. 1t has acquired the
local name of Hodag, or side-walloper,
because the legs on the left side are
shorter than those on the right. Accord

this Is caused by the fact that the ami
