There could be no greater comment upon the form

sized cities and there took luncheon. After that
luncheon the distinguished visitor went in search of
what? Not change of uniform and a regiment of
soldiers to escort him to his winter home but of a
haircut and some milk for fosterchild.
This sounds all very ordinary but without any
doubt it is comfortable. 1t has sort of honey

right and just They think as other men because
they are like other and not placed far above

to be a quart bottle with long neck.
Golden Wedding was the name of
the five quart lot of whiskey the Of

Mary is probably about % years old
the name of the red liquor probably had
nothing to do with the occasion of its
use. Mary said she had secured the
liquor from the home of a family on
