BOMB OF THB BTOKIES TOLD BY
VERSATILE MR. DBPBW.
How Ha Builds Jokes Upon Slight
Foundations Stories That Have
Done Duty in a Doz?n Campaigns.
How Englishmen Appreciate Wit.
Trom the Baltimore Herald.
(haunoey M. Depew is properly con
sidered the great New York joke fotsudry.
Some people ncoount for Mr. Depew'*
marvelous fund of stories by the fact
that the crowd* of daily visitor* to the
Grand Centra! station bring grist to his
mill, and that,as be has a splendid mem
ory, when he hear* a good story he puts
it in a mental pigeon hole to be taken out
and used at an appropriate time. That is
to a certain extent true. Then again,
many of bis stories arise from incidents
that happen in the office, on the street, in
the railway train, anywhere. He takes
liberties with the incidents when he frames
them into stories. He embellishes them and
exaggerates them. Some of bis stories are
pure and deliberate inventions. Home are
inspirations —numerous Actions conoocted
while on his feet addressing an assemblage.
He invests them with such an air of proba
bility, especially when be lays the scene
“up at Peekskill,” that men have come to
him and said: "I remember first rate when
that happened. I was living next door to
the man you tell it of.”
“You have a wonderful memory,” said
Mr. Depew, with a grave face. And then
nerbape he thinks: “We liars must stand
by one another,” and holds his pea' e.
The first story with which Mr. Depew
made a public hit was one he originated
wnen be was a Y ale student. Since be first
told it, thirty years ago, It has been often
repeated, has been appropriated by other
paople who had no right to it, and has
mdeed. like many other stories that be
invented, become common property. If it
were to be told in public to-morrow it
would be pronounced a chestnut and
nobody would think of giving credit for It
to its originator and original teller. Mr.
Depew plaoed the soeue not in Peekskill,
but in a fishing community where the eel
industry flourishes and the most success
ful kinds of esl-potu are regarded with high
favor. The story was designed as a joke on
the poor Democratic party, that Mr.
Depew has ,bern hammering away at these
many years. It was intended to illustrate
the Democratic party in the position of
claiming voters aud allegiance simply be
cause It Is the Democratic party, “lam a
democrat,” and on the record of Qen. Jack
son.
Here Is the story of the afflicted widow and
the consoling eels:
The wife of a fisherman was approached
one day by his fallow workers with a state
ment that her husband bad been drowned.
Her grief was Inconsolable and her despair
was heard throughout the whole village.
She weut Into convulsions. Next day tt ey
name to her again with the somewhat alle
viating announcement that the body bad
been found; “but,” they said, “its condition
is dreadful.” " well.” she said, “tell me the
worst.” “Well.” said they, “madam, he is
covered with eels." “Covered with eels?”
“ Yee, madam, we hated to tell you, but it
Is true. He is covered with eels.” “Well,
said the widow, drying her tsars, “set him
again.”
Another story that has gone alt over the
country was first told by Mr. Depew when
be was pitohlng into the democrats and ac
cusing them of constantly changing their
position on the aurrency question and oil
the tariff issue. It is about a spotted coach
dog that wouldn’t wash.
The husband of a lady in Peekskill got
rich In the foundry business, having bees
previously a molder. So the wife set up a
carriage. Someone told her she ought to
have a coaoh dog, otherwise the establish
ment would not be complete. Ho she came
to a dog fancier in New York aud bought
a nice spotted ooaoh dog. A week or so
afterward she was out one day and
got caught in a tremendous rain storm,
which washed all the spots off the dog. In
great fury she went baok with the dog to
the dog merchant and said: “You scoundrel!
Why did you cheat me by selling me this
dog as a ooaoh dog S"
Said he, “It’s all right, madam. I did not
cheat you. He is a coach dog, but there is
an umbrella goes with him,which I forgot,”
Mr. Depew prepared a story to illustrate
the republican idea of the democratic posi
tion, and told it with great success. Here
it is:
The teacher of the district school up at
Peekskill called up the three brighest boys
in his class one day and said:
“Tom, you are a republican?” “Yeß,
ir."
“And Jim, you are a prohibitionist?”
“Yes, sir.”
“And Bam, you are a democrat?” "Yes,
•lr."
“Well, now, the one of you that can give
me the best reason why tie belongs to bis
party can have this woodchuck I caught on
my way tosohool this morning. Now, Tom,
why are you a republican?’ "i am a re
publican,” said the boy, "because the re
publican party saved the country in this
war, abolished slavery and brought about
the resumption of specie payments, and has
done everything for the good of the coun
try.”
“That’s very good,” said the teaoher.
' ‘I am a prohibitionist,” said the prohibi
tion boy glibly, “because rum is illiing tba
jails and filling the poor bouses, and ulti
mately it will ruin the country, and if we
could hare prohibition we would not need
any prison or poor house. Everybody
would be well off.
“That is a good reason,” said the teaoher.
“Now, what is the reason you are a dem
ocrat, Sam?"
"Well, sir,” was the reply. “I am a dem
ocrat because I want tba woodchuck.”
Eli Perkins attributes the following story
to Mr. Depew. He says be onoe got talking
with Depew about the subject of supply
and demaud. Ha asked the president of the
Central if an instance bad ever occurred
when the price of an article did not depend
on supply and demand. Mr. Depew said:
"Well, the other day I stepped up to a
Herman butcher, and out of curiosity asked:
‘What Is the price of sausagea?-
“ 'Twenty oends a pound,’ he said.
“ ‘ kon asked 26 oents this morning,’ I re
plied.
"‘Ya. Dot was when i had some. Now
1 aln'd got none 1 sells ’em for and wenty cents.
Dot makes me a reputation for selling cheap
und I don’d lose noddiugs.'
“You see I did not want any sausage aud
the man did not bare any. 'i here was no
demand and no supply aud still the price of
sausage went down.”
Although Mr. Depew tells his itories at
many dinner tables In England, from that
of the Prince of Wales down, he has not a
very high opinion of English appreciation
of bis humor. He tails a story in Illustra
tion of their slowness:
"At a private dinner in England J told
the very beat atory I could think of. It was
greeted with a little laughter. Next, d>y I
met my host on tbe Strand. He advanced
to me smiling, began to iaugh as he grasp 'd
my band aud said; ‘Do you know, Mr.
I)pew, that was a oapltal thing you get iff
last night, capital. And, do you know, I
have juet this minute l>een thinking what a
Capital thing it was The point of tbe joke
hat just oome to me.
“lsald: ‘Why, it must have traveled to
Jou on a freight train.’
“ ‘Mv daar Mr. Depew,’ said Lba English
(ban, ‘1 assure you I haven’t seen any
freight train. I assure you I haven’t, ’pon
honor.’"
Mr. Depew told tUU story to an English
man who had been in Amerioa for a long
time. One of the oflioers of the Central
road was with him in Mr. Depew's office
when the story was told. The Englishman
gave a courtesy laugh, a forced and feeble
“ha ba.” At hen he turned into Duval’s
office and the doer of the prsedient’e room
had been shut, he remarked auxiously r "l
say, what tb*.blazes did Depew mean by
that freight train?”
The Hoots don’t like to be twitted about
the surgical operation and the joke. Here
is Mr. Depew’s account of what happened
at a Scotch dinner in New York:
“Speaking at a Bt. Andrew’s Sooiety din
ner. I remarked that if my jokes ware not
always appreciated immediately by the
Sqotchmen, by the time the next yearly
dinner came around they had always seen
the point. ’I don't think that's a very funny
thing to say,’ growled a handsome old Soot
who was sitting beside ms. ‘O,’ said I,
‘that’s all right. You’ll see the fun in it a
year from now.’"
In Mr. Depew’s recollections of his friend
ship and friendly feelings with Prealdsnt
Lincoln and Horace Greeley he has a stock
of stories on which he draws occasionally.
This story about Mr. Greeley has been
often told, but Mr. Depew was the first to
tell it, and he was a witness of tbe scene.
To interrupt Horace Greeley when he
was in the throes of bringing forth an edi
torial was a danger which no friend, no
enemy, none but a fool dared to enoounter.
I was once in his editorial sanctum when
the fool was there. He was one of those
itinerant and persistent gentlemen with a
subscription book. He kept presenting it.
while old Horace was writing away with
bis pen up to bis chin. Horace had a habit
when any one would interfere of klokiug,
and so be kicked at tbe subscription fiend.
Finally, when be saw that be conld not get
rid of tbe intruder by this means he
stopped in the middle of a sentence, turned
around and said raspingly, in that shrill
voice of his:
“What do you want? State it quick and
state it in the fewest possible words.”
“Well," said the subscription fiend, “I
want a subscription, Mr. Greeley, to pre
vent thousands of my fellow human beings
from going to hell.”
“I won’t give you a damned oent,” said
Greeley. “There don’t half eaougb go there
now.”
Mr. Depew has done good service by his
stories, not only for his party, but for bis
railroad. Here is one of his reminiscences,
which embodies a good story and tells how
be applied it.
“There was an anti-monopoly party in
the state. The railroads were their special
objects of attack. They came to Albany In
great numbers and were assisted by some
commercial bodies from New York. A
public hearing was heard u}>on a bill which
would have affected the New York Central.
All the members and senators were presaut
and a large audience besides. After tbe
orators In lavor of tbe bill had made their
arguments I made a long and exhaustive
reply in defense of the railway oompanist.
Feeling ran very high, and my address did
not produce much effect. Then I told Ibis
story:
“ A New Bedford whaler bad a very taol
turn and gruff captain, who treated the of
ficers and orew very badly. The mate, who
was at the lookout, called: ‘Thar she blows
an’ thar she breaches.’ The captain growled,
‘I don’t see no blower and I don’t see no
breaches.’ As the mate detorled tbe whale
more dearly he called more confidently,
'Thar she blows an’ tbar she breaches,’
and received in gruffer tone# the same an
swer. The mate, being oonfldsnl of bis
whale, sang out odc more with greater en
thusiam, and the captain said, 'Mate, if you
think thar she blows an’ thar she breaches
you can lower the boat an’ go
for her.’ The mate’s capture was soon
alongside of the ship and tried out eighty
barrels of sperm oil. The mollified cap
tain said, ’Mate, when we get back to New
Bedford you will ne mentioned in the re
port. You will get an inefease of salary.
Maybe you will be promoted.’ And the
mate said, ’Capling, Ido not want no hon
rable mention, and I don’t want no increase
of salary, and I don't want no promotion;
all I want is common civility, and that of
the damnodest, commonest kind.' ”
Tbe whole legislature burst into long
continued, uncontrollable laughter. The
bill was laughed out of tbe House; it was
laughed out of the Henate. The story went
into every paper in the state, big and
daily aud weekly. It became the amuse
ment of every barroom, aud the incentive
to a discussion of tbe railway question in
every corner grocery, and the result was
toe bringing together of tbe anti-railroad
and the railroad people by the lowering of
the demands on one side and concessions
on the other, which has permanently dis
missed railroad questions from politics and
legislatures m the state of New York.
There are two more reminiscencee which
contain stories and explain the circum
stances of their narration:
I presided at the slate convention three
years ago, and In describing tbe political
bourbofcs who learned nothing and whom
experience taught nothing, I said they re
minded me of a small boy at Peekskiil
whom I met wandering among the chil
dren’s graves in the church yard, eating
green apples and singing “Nearer, My God
to Thee.” I beard of a delegate at that
convention who was at the funeral of bis
wife a year or so afterward, and who, whau
tbe minister gave out that bymu, bad the
uproarious scene at tbe convention sud
denly burst upon him and broke out into
a laugh. I have been told that my life
would be sacrificed if I ever entered bit
town.
Tbe most curious person In the audlenoe
of a story-teller is the literal-minded man.
When Oen. Dix ran for governor there was
great discussion as to his age. It was one
of the controversies of tbe oanvsss. His
opponents claimed that be was too old to
fulfill the functions of the otlloe. Singu
larly enough, tbe blographioal dictionaries
differed about ten years. I was making a
speech at Watertown to a very big audience.
1 was running at that time as a liberal re
publican for lieutenant governor upon the
same ticket with Francis Kernan. It was
an immense outdoor audieuce.
In front of me stood a man who watched
me during the three hours of that speech
for the purpose of catching me on some
material point I finally took up the ques
tion of Gen. Dix’s age, gave the dates of
tbe various biographical dictionaries and
encyclopedias and based a theory of how
old he must have been in the war of 1812,
where lie was a lieutenant, and finally said
that the only really authentic data had
been revealed by some recent researches in
the colonial reoords of Massachusetts. It
had been discovered that when tbe Pilgrim
Fathers landed on Plymouth Kook they
found Gen. Dix standing on that historic
spot aud shouting that unlees they tnede
him a justice he would go over and join
the Indian*: the point of which was that
the general had changed politics several
times ana every time b got an ofho.
My critical friend saw his opportunity
and grasped it et once. Ho sprang up with
a shout that oould be beard to tbe Canadian
border. "Mr. Depew, tbat is a lie!” I looked
at him for a moment to see whether he had
swallowed the bait, aud found tnat he had
taken it hook and line, bob and sinker,
whole and all. Thou I stepped to tbe front
of the platform and said with great em
phasis and indignation: "Sir, I have told
that historic anecdote from Montai a Point
to Niagra Falls,to hundreds of thousands of
intelligent and educated people of this
great commonwealth, and you are the
only man who ever had the audacity to
deny it” “It ain’t true, Mr. Depew” he
repeated, "because that happened mens thao
ah) years ago.” I • told when in Water
town last tall that, although this happened
tn 11172, that roau had never, been .able to
come luto town since.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. JANUARY 13, 1893.
THB NIGHTCAP WILL REAPPEAR.
Tbe Recent Korss Show Has Given
Ladies a Good Idea in rlairdreeslnflr.
From the .Veto York Sun.
“Nightcaps are to be in vogue again, aud
the horse show has brought them back,” an
nounced a wide-sleeved beauty the other
day while discussing fashion with a friend.
“I know it because twenty women have
told me so.” she continued, “and I myself
am having half a dozen silk head piece*
made, and mean to wear them every night
of my life. Wbat for? Why, to try for a
higher polish on my hair, of course, just as
grooms blanket fine horses to protect their
coats from dust, chill and general roughen
ing. Yon tee, every time we girls looked
at those perfectly groomed creatures in tbe
ring we envied tbe exquisite sheen of their
■kins reflecting light like so many mirrors.
“The flanks of the sorrels shown like cop
per, while the chestnuts had exactly that
silky blond brilliancy we would give tbe
world to carry around on our heads. Of
oourse we have used caslile soap, the yolk
of an egg, rum and quinine, and all tbe rest
of those good old-fashioned receipts for
washing the hair, and found every one of
them excellent in a way. Then I worked
out a sort of system for myself, that, for
invigorating the roots, bolding tbe color
and keeping tbs ends from splitting, it not
to be equaled.
“To begin with,” Beauty explained, “I
keep three grades of brushes on my dress
ing table, and apply them vigorously for
thirty minutes night and morning. Tha
first one is stiff, with long, sparse t ristlee,
calculated to search out dandruff and
stimulate the scalp by quickening the cir
culation of the blood. Next comes one of
moderate strength, close set, and designed
to remove every tiny particle of dust. Few
realize how Injurious these infinitesimal
atoms are in cracking and drying the fibers.
Yet they absorb tbe natural oil needed by
the hair, and unless gotten rid of will do
permanent hurt. My laßt brush is merely a
polisher to brighten the surface. Then my
rules require that I carefully clip the ends
or my hair onoe a month, wash it every
three weeks, let it hang in lung tails down
my baok when 1 chance to be staying in
doors, and am eve careful to use only new
smooth bairplDs, and no soda or borax for
cleaning purposes.
“You can see that It looks pretty thick
and shiny now, but If all that au old Hootch
lady tells me be true 1 will soon eolipse the
pnzt winners at the show for sheen and
sleekness. I had told her of our proposed
nightcap sciieme, whereupon she gave me
some idea of tbe beneficial effects of silk
upon hair. It seems in her young days
they wore those hugebailoon-llke puffs over
the ears, and women rivaled each other in
tbe smooth gloss of their locks. Hbe strug
gled for first honors along with the rest,
aud did It also to please her old father, who
was blind and loved to pass his hand over
her well-brushed head.
“Every morning she knelt lieside his
ohair, and the very instant his sensitive fin
gers touched her bandeaux he knew whether
or no she had worn her cap the night previ
ous. Had she left It off the fine silkitiesß of
texture was gone, only to be regained by
olose adherence to brush and cap. The old
lady assures me the early baldness of men
so oomroon to-day is largely due to tfielr
sleeping with uncovered heads. Tbe caps,
it appears, absorbed all hurtful perspiration
that help* to weaken the root* and protects
the soalp from sudden chills and draughts,
whioh cause the hair to fall.”
When inquiry was made as to the style of
these novel articles Beauty explained that
■he had no idea of looking a fright even in
bed to benefit her hair. They have to be
out after the models used for infants, a tiny
orown in the baok, with a full pieoe corded
in that will extend all around from nuque
tdbrow. Tbe hair will be well brushed,
neatly braided, lightly fastened up with
■bell pins and then the oap drawn over it
olosely to conoeal every strand. A full
ruohe of soft lace frames the faoe, the sides
are cut to leave the ears free, while thlu
■llk strings ksep the whole affair in place
without irritating obin or oheek.
A OONNEOIICUT GORMANDIZER
John Edward Sherloclc’s Christmas
Day Performance.
From the New York Sun.
Hartford, Jan. 7.—John Edward Bher
look Is a painter with a peculiar aspect. He
is tall aud spare and wears bis hair long,
the ends curling down his back. He is a
brother of the Hherlook sisters, well-known
vocalists, and is himself somewhat gifted in
that line, having a good voice aud knowing
how to use it. A few days before Christ
mas Sherlock was in Talcott & Long's res
taurant when the conversation turned on
the appetite, bherlock remarked that he
wasn’t a very big man, but he w ould put
up a #lO-bill that be could eat an
8-pound turkey at one sitting. Mr.
Talcott took up the bet, provided
Sherlock would eat his meal in the restau
rant window. The restaurant men were to
furnish the bird. Tbe meal took plaoe Mon
day afternoon and Sherlock won so easily
that no one dares challenge him to another
oontest. He ate no supper Sunday night
aud no breakfast Monday morniug. Before
noon he took a ten-mile walk to get up au
appetite, and promptly at 1 o’clook he sat
down to a table on which was a nicely
roasted turkey, whioh weighed eight pounds
drawn and without feet and head. Sher
lock began his task leisurely. He carved
tbe turkey with the readiness of an expert
and devoured it as though hungry, yet not
hastily. He frequently stopped and
sang Moody and Saaitey hymns, oc
casion >lly varying the programme with
an aria from a grand opera. But
in spite of his musical diversions be
finished the turkey before 3 o’clock, and
theu, to show that the test was infantile in
Us oonce tion, he called for half of a fric
asseed chicken. This, as well as tbe turkey,
was accompanied with bread and vegeta
ble*. After finishing th* ohicken be left the
window, strolled about am„ng the crowd
which bad been attracted by tbe sight, pass
ing bis hat to "help a hungry man buy' bis
■upper,” as he put U. At 0 o’clock be felt
the need of more sustenance, for he ate a
generous plate of rocut beef, baked Leans,
ohicken pot pie, bread and butter, and po
tatoes, with coffee to sub it down. At 10
o'clock he concluded not to retire hungry,
and put down a large sirloin steak, with
bread and butter, fried potatoes and ooffee.
The next morning he awoke betimes feel
ing quite hungry. He went back to Ihe
restaurant and ate two ordinary break
fasts, topping off with four plates, or two
dozen, buckwheat cakes. He wauted to bet
#I,OOO that he oould eat sixteen poui.ds of
■olid meat with the necessary vegetables in
ten hours, but bis performances had fright
ened the sporting men aud no one would
cover bit money. Sherlock came from the
northern part of New York state and has al
ways been a wanderer, though hs oould live
with his family in good circumstances
if be wished. He ha* been a member of
tbe Salvation Army, writes really readable
poetry, attends churoh and Monday school
regularly, and is very gentle in his manner.
His fellow workmen say that when they
heard of his bet they knew he would win.
Home time ago b* was painting on a house
in Parkville and went into the house for
dinner a little ahead of tbe others. There
was a 7-;.ound piece of corned beef ou the
table, aud he was told to “pitch in.” He
did, and so effectively that when the others
came to dinner there was nothing left for
them to eat.

WHAT IB HYPNOTISM?
An Attempt of Robert Hardin, Jr., to
Define This Vysterloue Force.
From the St. Louie Globe-Democrat.
Hypnotism consists of two things: First,
the induction of a psychical condition, in
whioh tbe subject’s mind is made almost a
blank and is completely under the operator’s
will; and, second, tbe suggeetions wbloh tbe
subject reoeives. These suggestions may
be communicated to the subject In different
ways, the best of which are by speech,
as they are more concise and quickly ren
dered than suggestions made by motions
and other methods.
The subject's susceptibility to suggestion
while in the hypnotic state is enormously
Increased, and bis ability to act upon those
suggestions is controlled entirely by the
opei ator.
It is a oommon but erroneous idea that
there are seven “degrees” or “stages” of
hypnotism, supposed to range from a mild,
peaceful slumber to a state where the sub
ject is completely insensible. Charcot, the
eminent Krenob theorist and experimenter,
claims that there are as many as nine dis
tinct degrees, but it this is true, I have been
unable to distinguish the difference between
them. During tbe past week my subject
was a young lady, 18 years old. and fairly
intelligent; In three days 1 subjected her to
the process of hypnosis seven different
times, and from tbs most careful experi
ments, iu conjunction with I)r. Charles
Morell, we found the first degree of bypnut
ism ooDsisted simply of a m<ld slumber to
gether with tbe loss of sight. The loss of
the sente of taste toon followed, and qulekly
after that tbe sense of smell departed ; then
the sense of touch, aud laM of all tbe tense
of hearing.
The third stag*of hypnotism, according
to Binet and Fera, is that of catalepsy, in
which the subject becomes perfectly rigid,
and remains In that position for any length
of time. 1 have found that the subject has
a tendency to assume theoonditlon of oata
lepsy, aud that it can be induoed between
any of the stages before mentioned, I. e.,
that tbe subjeot become*, according to my
will, lethargic or rigid between tbe loss of
any of the two senses.
I have stated that the optio nerve 1s the
first to lose Its power under hypnosis, but a
curious effect was noticeable before tbs
subject lost all control of tight. AVhile the
eyes were still half open a bright red hand
kerchief was held before them in tbe line of
vision, and at a distance of about fourteen
inches. AVhen asked lte oolor tbe subject
pronounoed it blue, the contrasting color of
red. Again, a blue’kerobief was declared
to be orange and a yellow one blue, and so
on, each color being oalled by its compl<—
mentary oolor. During this trial it was
thought that perhaps tbe subjeot was color
blind, but this was found to be incorrect,
as the subject defined all of tbe colors ac
curately while in full poseesilon of the
senses.
As the eye became devoid of the power of
sight a 20-candle power incandescent elec
tric lamp, with reflector, was set before the
subject at a distance of ten inches. This
bright light failed to contract or expand
the pupils in the slightest degree.
After this I commanded the subjeot to
become rigid, when this state was imme
diately effeoted. After releasing her from
this stage she resumed tbe first degree.
This was proven by a bottle of the strong
est ammonia held direotly to the nostrils
and the subject commanded to inhale it.
This test failed, but a candle and potato
were oonsumed without reluctance,' Illus
trating that the sense of taste followed tho
loss of sight.
The third degree was then Introduced.
Tbe ammonia was again introduced, while
it was suggestive that tbe “perfume” wits
exquisite. As tbe subjeot inhaled the fume*
of the ammonia a smile of pleasure played
about her lipe, the mere suggestion of per
fume producing tbe result as bsfore stated.
After a few more passes the girl lost the
sense of touob and several needles wero in
serted in tbe cheek and through the lip.
The doctor also extracted a decayed tooth,
aud tbe tests were over. I released the sub
ject from her Insensible state, apparently
none tbe worse for tbe severe test*. I shall
conduct from time to time experiments
upon each degree of insensibility, treating
each separately and exhaustively.

It very often happen* that a boy has to
be busy with work of some kind, when be
really wants to read and become educated.
Now this desire for education Is a splendid
thing for a boy. Indeed, there is nothing
In tbe world that is any better. But it
often happens that a boy is prevented by
circumstanoee from doing that which would
seem to be tbe best thing for him.
Hsre is a word of encouragement to suctf
boys. Rend all you can in tbe best papers
and magazines. Pick up scrap* of informa
tion about people and things, and make
them your own, so that you will remember
them. Mom# day your knowledge, picked
up little by little, will be very extensive
end you will find that you compare very
favorably with boys who have had much
better chances for education than yourself.
Cousolb yourself with the thought that some
of the be t work tu tbe world has been done
under very trving circumstances.

tbe World” durn g bis eleveu years’ im

of work as great as any Hir Walter Raleigh
