Sir Thomas stands on the bridge

For Sir Thomas must have his joke.
One of which he Is particularly
fond concerns a visit once paid him
at Cowls by former Mayor john
Fitzgerald of Boston.
h The baronet was entertaining a
group of Americans when suddenly 1t

Thomas and at once began drilling
his guests in court etiquette.
But the royal launch. which rarely
carries airy but royalty arrived with
a lone Yankee.
1t seems that Mr.. Fitzgerald, wish
