Sweden would be steadfast and faithful

was true that activities in certain cir

cause could be found in the intrigues
inaugurated against the Swedish mon

inevitable check.
Fortunately the Swedish cabinet was

irreproachable. and its enemies could
not overthrow 1t. Russian public opinion
should know that M. wallenberg is a
warm and energetic partisan of neu-

Gen. Brandstroem felt sure that the
chief of the cabinet would know how
to impose the necessary resistance to
the authors of the campaign OF opposi-

nervosity of the Russian public was
due to its lack of information regard

That you have ever grown;

That this would make you pretty hot?
If someone else should come and yell
Some other town upstate spell
Is twice as good, looks twice as we'll,
AS this you're living at;
Some other town, the man repeats,
Has better people on its streets,
While yours at home are sharks and

How would you answer that?
If someone knocked the friends you

Should sometime write to you and
