That they were allowed to depart
may lay the commanders Of this eXpe-

difficult to entertain an army in camp
and those earlier scouts were enter

an awful lot of time TO scouting and
very little to conversation.

top and placing four wooden posts for
legs. Dimensions: Top of table, 31la
inches long by 1914 inches wide and
20 inches high, aid a serving cOmpart-

top from falling back too far when
opened The bottom of the serving
compartment is 8 inches below this
top. Around the sides of this cOmpart-
