time. during his last visit to London,
In the densely crowded slum sections
Of East London. It was no surprise
to his family, therefore, when at thsar

. telegram signed with his name. and
INading thus:
"Will not be homo tonight. Am
spending the night with buns"
OF oourse they asked him upon his
return how no had enjoyed his visit

BUNS? What do you meant"
They showed him the telegram.
Then he explained that he had
passed the night with John Burns. the
