the gorgeous little park (thanks to the
officials of the NJ, G. & St. L. r. &. J
Many pedestrians passed, greeting us
politely. After time DR.. G. w. Miles
came walking along, not knowing that
we we're there. Observing my guest he
turned aside to greet him heartily. Seat
ing himself beside my guest they were
soon in an animated conversation. I

God that never faileth."

white sails divinely spread. They we're

nap | was rather rudely
awakened and notified that a touring
car, by the Astounding hospitality OF
Ors. Watson and Blanton, would be

emember. He is young gentleman
