by si,me to be white swelling, hut |

were never decide I just what the
eruption was.
Mr. Payne was the son of New

was strolling around wit h a eon-

pered: “Just, a little scheme of

invitations to dinner;;; alk around
picking your teeth and people
think you have oaten and they at
once make you a recipient of gra

their dinners. Pvo already had
forty such imitations, more or

An interesting incident occur-

one which partakes somewhat of

fact to me that during the dinner

branches of the Payne family tree,
