tomorrow night for the crowd which will hear
DR.. Bumis Jenkins Of Kansas City, slated as
successor in the United States senate to James

his cutlass viciously, so that we held

But they were of breed trained to
such fighting, and the lash of Manuel's

shadows, with bearded or lean brown
savage faces, charging over the dead
