sad joiirfiey I do not think I have bei n morally rc
BDOtisible for B great many of my acts. Although

?nonda, still I dreaded to remain ibero, and daring
the whole of the past Summer I hit Um poet win-n?
ever 1 coald, and without any apparent rssson bu

not thc act of a sane man. I think th" condition of

did not seem to bs able to abstain."
