1 was ruminating about how much
wo couipluinlug mortals have to he
thaukiul for iu this goouly )t?ud. It ia
well for us all to sometimes tuko an in
voico of what wo havo got that neither
kings nor laws can take from us. Tho
masses of our people havo homes?
humblo homes, comfortable homos
where, as W.dlam l'itt said, "Tho
p?O. -?l man may bid detianco to tho
crown. It may bo frail, its roof may
shako, tho wind may blow through It
aud tho rain leak iu, but tho king of
England cannot outer, nor bis lorces
daro to cross its threshold." Tho
masses of our people havo good health,
which is the chlofcst of all tho poor
niuu's blessings. In this goodly South
ern laud wo havo pure air, good water,
a temperate climate aud a soil that re
sponds easily aud surely to the la
borer's toil. Adam Smith eald in hie
groat work on tho wealth of r.atlons
that a kind IV ovldonco hud so ordained
that tho average labor of one man
would support eight persons aud gi\o
them all of tho necessaries, many of
tho comforts and &omo of tho luxuries
of lifo. How nicely thib fits tho aver
age family?a man aud his wife and
six children. If tliero aro moro chil
dren tho oldor ones aro ablo to help,
and as the man grows old and fcoble
tho younger children havo grown up
to tako his place. Of course, there
aro exceptions, for tho wilo may bo an
invalid or tho children all girls or tho
farm horse got sick and dio, or tho
hogs tako cholera or tho houso burn
uo, but most ull of our ills aro tho re
sult of indolence, imprudence or crimi
nal conduct. If wo violate a law of
mtturo wo aro suro to anlTor for it. If
w> spend more than wo mako and get
in debt wo Chain ourselves to a hard
master, for, us Solomon said, " tho
borrower is a survant of the lender."
Frugal habits and coulcntmcnl at

though it bo a mother's song as shu

And the vines on tho trollis are fad

What is lovelier than tho autumn

taste for all those outside ornaments of
nature, for they aro not only beautiful,
but the. contemplation of them is re

and " Solomon in all his glory was not

tho grass, tho huushinc aod the rain,
the songs of bird6 and the reverential
sound of distant thunder that comes,
as tho poet suys, from heaven's own
organ.
And so tho invoico might go on. Of
course, a good citizen will tako an in
terest in the laws that govern him,
but ho should not forget the blessings
that laws caunot take away, nor should
he fret himself because of evildoers.
A much traveled .friend, on his return
from Europe told me that aa ho jour
neyed through Germany he saw many
and many a woman yoked besldo a cow
or a steur pulling a plow through tho
tough soil, and hundreds of women
going to market half bent undor the
burden of wicker baskets plied up
with small wood or vegetables. The
whito man's burden Is nothing com
pared with the whito woman's burden
among tho peasantry of that country.
Evory young man owes military service
. to tho government and is obliged to go

that our common people aro tho most
independent common pcoplo In tho
world aud ought to bo grateful to God
that tho lines have fallon to them in
such ploasant places. Why bo envious
of tho rich, the inillionairoa who have
more care and anxiety than wo havo ;
whose children grow up in peril, whoso
days aro consumed In plans to increaso
their riches, whoso nights aro restless
with dreams of gold, and whoso health

Tho catechism asks what is tho
ohlof end of man. And tho answer is,
" To glorify Ood and enjoy him for

AN HlHlOltlO REGIMENT.
Tho First Tennessee Has a Record
ISxtondlntf From the Revolutionary
War to ihn War in the Philippines,
One Tonuomee regiment?the First
? has been making history this hun
dred years and more. It was organ
ized and commanded by John Sevier,
when tho State was merely " Ten
nessee County " of North Carolina.
Sevier led It over the mountains when
Revolutionary fortunes were at the
lowest ebb, to fall upon Tarleton at
King's mountain, and turn a wavering
tight into a brilliant victory. Twenty
years later Andrew Jackson wa-3 its
colonel through the bloody Indian wars
that broke the power of Choctawy,
Creeks and Cherokeos. A little later
Con. Andrew Jackson posted his old
regiment in the very fore fron:, at tbe
battle of New Orleans, whero, sido by
side with the Iluntors of Kentucky, itb
unerring rilh:s mowed down tho rod
coats like grass.
Afterward the First Tonncssoo slopt
upon its laurels until thero were
grumblings of war in tho Southwest.
Man., of its original members had gone
to Tcxus, but they had loft kinsmen h
plc-nty to till tho ranks afresh. The
renewed thirst Tennessoe went to tho
help of '?Old Ucugh and Uea.ty," as
Con. /achary Taylor wasalTectlonatoly
ca'led, and soon bhowed that it meant
to live up to itb reputution. At, Mon
terey, a wallod and fortiliod town
which Taylor was forced to carry by
assault, it was tho First Tennessco
which set tho lirst American Hag tri
umphantly in tho breach- and what is
very much more to the military pur
poso?kept it there until it was car
ried further forward.
Ail through Mexico it wont, winning
golden opinions from oven the starch
and stately regular army mon. When
it camo homo after tho old fashion, it
kept up a sortof skoleton organization.
A skeleton tho civil war found it, but
a skeleton that quickly took on life
and strength. A state of war super
vened lato ln April ; in May Tennessee
seceded ; in Junj tho First Tennessoo
oddly brigaded with tho Seventh and
Fourteenth regiments, left for Virginia,
where tho Tonnessee brigado was as
signed to Loo's corps, thon oporating
In West Virginia.
Tho next winter Loo took command
In front of Uichmond, and tho Tennes
see brigado becamo part of Jackson's
" foot cavalry." It stayed with him
till his death, bearing itself soldierly
through all his lighting and moro than
once winning special mention for des
perato and distinguished daring. At
Cottysburg it made part of Plekett's
charging column, losing moro than half
Its numbers in killed, wounded and
prisoners,
" Tpo cankers of a calm world and a
long peace," oven, could not destroy
tho lighting spirit in the famous old
First regiment. When tho Spanish
war came on, sons and grandsons and
great-grandsons of First regiment men
wont joyously into its ranks. They al
most prayed..'?s la sOfit- to1 Cuba. The
powers that bo thought fit to send them
to tho Philippines instead. But it was
October, 1898, boforo thoy ombarkod,
and thoy grumbled mightily that the
fighting was all over.
Since events have proved their mis
take, tho regiment lias lived up to its
traditions. Tho regimental historian
has an autograph lottor from Admiral
Dowoy, saying :
? l um 100 nappy to havo au opportu
nity o( expressing my admiration of
this Tennessee regiment, its aplondid
work iu tho Philippines in actual war
faro, and of Hs late colonel."
Gon. Otis adds :
" Nothing can bo said of it (Tho First
TounosBOo rogimont) which is UOtOOtn*
mondablo of it an a military organiza
tion. Next to its admirable lighting
qualities, what havo Impressed mo moat
forcibly is tho universal good fooling
and close comradeship which oxlats
among its members, and tho regard
which tho enlisted men havo for tholr
otlicord, who look carofullv after tholr
wants. As an admirable fighting ma
chine, It has shown its excellence, both
hero and at Hollo."
Col. W. G. Smith, commanding when
tho reglmont wont into action, died of
heart disease upon tho Qriug line, ilia
Muc.ce. .-.or. Col. Gracoy Chlldross, Ken
tucky* born, but by adoption a loyal
Tounes8ean, will, therefore, havo tho
distinction of being tho but of a fa

CATTLE IN THE SOUTH.
Jt in particularly pertinent, la this
issue of the Farmer, devoted mainly
to grass and forage plants to give
Special emphasis to the subject of cat
tle growing in the South. Wc start
out with the broad, general assertion
(hat stock growing in the South is and
has been, like all other branches of
fanning, except raising cotton, practi
cally a failuro, and sve wish to consider
the question. Is it profitable Hint it
should remain so? If not cau we
profitably raise slock in competition
witli the corn belt of the Northwest?
How is it feasible for the average cot
ton farmer to get a start at it anil make
the business profitable?
In a recent publication, Mr. William
LuCroix, a well known stockman of
Memphis, goes into this subject ex
haustively, lie says that the live
stock business in that section is a fail
ure ; that there is but little done in
that line, and what is done is not profit
able to the man who raises them. The
reasons for this being true, ho epito
mizes as follows :
1. Lack of financial aid and assist
ance to engage in the business proper
ly, cotton being the money crop or tlio
only crop that tlie farmer can obtain
advances on to produce it.
2. The lack of attention u the. part
of the farmer who raises cattle in their
breeding and care oT the animal pro
duced.
3. The production of a very inferior
animal that commands scant respect in
the markets and always selling for a
ve -y low figure.
Now we are absolutely convinced
from the succi s that has crowned the
few rational efforts made in Ibis line
that, the stock business can be made
profitable in any part of the South ;
that it can lie done in spite of the fact
mentioned in reason No. 1 and that a
reasonable effort on the part of South
ern farmers will soon remove the dif
ficulties mentioned in Nos. 2 and
We all know that il is unfortunately
true, under the present system of rais
ing crops in the South, that the main
crop is cotton and that in most cases
the planter or farmer instead of rais
ing at home his bread, meat, forage
and many other necessaries that he
could raise plcdgi s Iiis cotton crop in
advance to pay the bid. Wo arc sure
that no thin king cotton grower can be
lieve this is the most economical way
of getting supplies, aud wc a.e glad to
say many have quit it ; but what they
think is the difficulty of making a
change deters a great many from even
trying to make a change. The opinion
prevails with the majority of them,
that seems to inspire Mr. LaCroix;
that a radical change must be made at
one time and right at the start. Tins
is a great mistake, the beginning of
raising one's own bread, meat, gram
and forage ought to be made in a small
way and gradually increased as t lie
cotton planter understands the subject
better, and in the matter of Slock rais
ing it would be absolutely a misfortune
for a in \u who does not understand
the business to begin on a large scale,
eveu if he had plenty of capital. It 18
safer and more profitable in the end
to start cattle raising with two or three
head than 20 or 30 ; the sheep busi
ness with a dozen than 50 and the hog
business with a single good sow than
10 or 20. Starling in this small way,
it is within the power of every farm
owner aid most renters to make a be
ginning.
Hut there is one tiling that is abso
lutely essential to success : who ever
goes into the stock bus;,icss, in a small
or large wa}, must not fail to raise
good stock. As Mr. LnCroix truly
says, two year old cattle tVat weigh
only o00 and 400 pounds do not pay at
any price, though they of course, sell
very low. They must weigh (100 io 1,000
pounds at that age. Kazor-hack hogs
eat their heads oil' before they get fat,
and scrub sheep don't pay the freight
aud commissions for selling. It is then
essential that stock to be profitable
must be well bred. How then is a
farmer to make a start in cattle raising
or with sheep or hogs. The only way
if he has but little money to put into
it, is to stall with native females and get
a pedigreed male to cross with. In
the case of hogs and sheep, any fanner
who has summoned up the resolution
to go into the business, can raise
enough money to buy a boar or rain.
With cattle it is different, but almost
auv fanner who will take the trouble
to do it, can get several neighbors to
join him in buying a good short horn,
Hereford or Galloway bull and one
will sullice for a neighborhood.
A year DofotO a start is made with
the stock a pasture of ten or twenty
acres ought to be slurlod by Olftfll?li?
?SermUdn grass. *" The second year it
will bo'a fair pasture on good land and
the third year it will be excellent. This
will be a fair pasture on good land ten
mouths of the year ; enough food of
other kinds must lie grown for the re
mainder of the year. In one year's
time cattle and sheep will have doubled
themselves ; hogs will probably be
multiplied by ten or twelve. In five
years time even though the beginning
may have been small, the herd or Hock
Will probably have readied tho limit
the owner wants to carry aud be will
be getting back BOmo profit. During
this time, too, he will have learned the
business and have arranged his Holds
and pastures to get llio best results.
Will it pay? It most surely will.
In the North with high priced labor,
long wiuteiB and short summers it has
always been the most profitable fann
ing. In the South, with cheap labor,
long grn/.iiig season and short feeding
senson and grasses and forage plants
that furnish more food for tho cost
than anywhere clso on the lace of the
carln, the business if at all properly
conducted is bound to pay.
But one thin^ is needed to soon
make the South the greatest meat p.o
ducing region ou earth and that is tho
fully formed resolution of tho farmers
to go into tho business right and mako
it so. Wo arc glad to noto that thero
arc indications that tho South is on the
ovo of awakening to the importance
of making this change. Already breed
ing stock of nil kinds, but notably of
hogs, sheep and poultry aro being sold
all ovor tho South and the domand has
been afl great. B8 I he. hjp*l brooders
ICvcry MH^m^hi
us? his influonco I'uff
along. J^^ifl^^S
tho other half stuck to cotton and ?
raised only the sumo quantity or a very
little more than thoy are now doing
they would get rich. As it is, tho
average cotton planter is lucky if he
gets out even at the end of the year.
VALUE OF CHOWS TO FARMERS.
The Department of Agriculture has
been making an investigation of crows
and their food and habits with a view to
determining whether the crows is as
lUUCh an enemy to the farmer as he is
generally credited. There are few birds
so well known as the common crow,
hut, according to the department, un
like n\C3t other species he does not seem
to decrease hi number as I he country
becomes more, densely populated. The
crow is common I v regarded as a black
leg and a thief. Without the dash and
bTitian*. V of the jay, or the bold savag
ely Of the hawk, he is accused of doing
moro tu ich'of ihau either. Tho he
does pu'l up sprouting corn, destroy
chicken?, and rob the nests of small
birds ha < been repeatedly proved. Not
are there :>'l of h:s sins, lie is known
to eat frogs, loads, salamanders, ami
some small snakes, all harmless creat
ures that do some good by eatjng in
sects. Willi so many charges against
him, it may be well to show why he
should not. be utterly condemned.
The examination of a largo number
of stomachs, while confirming all the.
foregoing accusations, lias thrown upon
the subject a light some.whal different
from that derived solely from field ob
servation. It shows that the. bird's
nesting habit, as in the case of the jay,
is not so universal as lias been suppos
ed; and that, so far from being a habit
ual nest robber, the crow only occasion
ally indulges in that reprehensible
practice. The same is line in regard to
destroying chickens, for he is able to
carry off none but very young ones,
and his opportunities lor capturing
them are somewhat limited. Neither
are many loads aud frogs eaten, and as
frogs arc of no great practical value,
their destruction is not a serious mat
ter; but toads are. very useful, and their
consumption, bo far as it goes, must bo
counted against the crow. Turtles,
crawfishes, and snails, of which he eats
(pule a largo number, may be consider
ed neutral, while mice may bo counted
to bis credit.
In his insect food, however, the crow
makes amends for Bins in the rest of
his dietary, although even here the first
item is against him. Prcdaceous beet
les which are useful are eaten in some
numbers throughout the season, but
the number is not great. May beetles,
"dor-bugs," or June bugs, and others
of the, same family, constitute the
principal food during spring and early
summer, and are fed to the young in
immense quantities. Other beetles,
neatly all of a noxious character, are
eaten to a considerable extent. Grass?
hoppers are first taken in May, but not
in large numbers until August, when, as
might bo OXpoclod, they form the lead
ing article of diet, showing that the
crow is no exception to the general rub;
that most birds subsist, to a large ex
tent, upon grasshoppers in the mouth
of August. Many buys, some catcrpi
lars, mostly worms, and some spiders
are also eaten?nil of them either harm
ful or neutral In their economic rela
tion. Of the insect diet Mr. E. A.
Schwartz says: "The facts, on the
whole, speak overwhelmingly in favor
Ol tho crows."
Probably the most important Item m
the vegetable food is corn, and by pull
ing up the newly sprouted seeds the
bird renders himself extremely obnox
ious. Observation and experiments
with tame crows show that hard dry
corn is never eaten if anything eise is
to be had, and if fed to nestlings it is
soon disgorged. The reason crows
lesort to newly planted Holds is that the
kornols are softened by the moisture, of
the earth, and probably become more,
palatable in the process of germination,
which changes the starch of the grain
to sugar. The fact, however, remains
that crows eat corn extensively only
when it has been softened by germina
tion or partial decay, or before it is
ripe and still "in the milk." Experi
ence, has shown that they may be pre
vented from pulling up young corn by
tarring the seed, which not only saves
the corn hut forces them to turn their
attention to insects. If they persist in
eating the glCOll corn, it is not so easy to
prevent the damage; but no details of
extensive injury in this way have yet
been presented, and it is probable that
no great harm has been done.
In estimating ihe economic status of
the crow, the department concludes
that he does some damage, but on
the other hand, ho should receive much
credit foi uiC irSGCfc?. whiofeho destroys.
In the more thickly settled parts (if the.
country the crow probably does more,
good than harm, at lest when ordin
ary precautions are taken to protect
young poultry and newly planted corn
against Iiis depredations. If however,
corn is planted with no provision
against possible marauders, if liens and
turkeys are allowed to nest and to roam
With their broods at a distance from
farm buildings, losses must be expect
ed. The ordinary farmer will doubt
less pay much mortvattention to Mid
crow as a marauder than to the crow as
a benefactor.

cept the advice of some farmer live 1
hundred miles away. All that he may
say may be true, but it is the difference
in the sod and surroundings that de
termines for each tho question of protil
or loss. A common and very satisfac
tory way of adapting new varieties of
excoptioual valuo to a locality is to mix
it with some local variety that is suited
to the soil and climate, and developing
the result from seed wheat that may be
of great value. Nearly all wheat will
deteriorate if the seed is taken from the
same Hold year after year, and the only
way is to obtain new seed. The most
satisfactory way is to select half enough
seed wheat each year fiom the fiofil,
ami then mix it with an equal quantity
.of good seed purchased from some
other place. See that the two arc <' .'
Cerent but good vaiieties. They inviui- ,
ably mix well, and produce excellent I
results, ln this way we constantly
cioss the vaiieties and secure all the
good that there is in the market. Of
course the seed from ' ie held must be
selected with the greatest care, aid
only tho very laigesl and best grams
should be taken. Likewise the pur
chased seed shouldjcoine only from reli
able parlies, and it shoe'd not be in
I'crior in any way to that selected from
ihn home fields.
in speei.ile'.inir wheat we are reach
ing a point that has its disadvantage .
It is a good deal like inbreeding in
I fowls. Too much of it Ac.ikens the
st< ok, and in order to inslil new life and
i energy into them ii is of ton uoccossnry
to CroSS-hreed. The ral&OlS of line seed
wheat have inbred some of the leading
varieties to the point whe.e new blood
is required to make the ..cod stronger
and more productive That is why, 1
believe, that .some years the crops
succumb so easily to ,l:y weather 01 (ho
attacks of enemies. The seeds are re
fined to Iho point of exhaustion, and
while under tho most favorable con
ditions the plautfrom such seeds might
produce the banner crop, a very little
thing might blast the whole field. As
our crops have to encounter seine pret
ty bad weather and many enemies, it
seems wiser to have plants with more
ruggedncss cveu though they might
pi'OUUCO a bushel or so less of w heat (o
the acre. In the long run the average
wheat field will be in favor of the
hardier breeds. We have, inbred fowls
Which if kept in a hoi-house may do
belter than any other brood, but out
doors they are loo sickly to do much.
Cross-hroedillg occasionally or often is
just ai essential in wheat as in fowls or
animals. Mixed varieties of seed wheat
is my selection every time, although
intelligence must be used in the selec
tion.? William Conway, in Wisconsin
Ayriculturist.
WHAT IS LIQUID AIR?
Liquid air is just what its name im
plies. It is not u liquid distilled from
some newly discovered vegetable, or
mineral, but is simply air, such as wo
breathe, made so cold that it takes the
form of water.
The fact that air can assume that
form is a recent discovery, as is also
the method <.f obtaining the intense
cold necessary to this result. The tem
perature required is 812 degrees below
zero?a temperature farther below the
coldosl arctic wilder than that is below
a tropical summer. Yet persistent ef
forts have at last developed a method
by which it is readily produced.
When air is cooled down (o this de
gree it changes to a misty vapor ami
gradually fonns into drops that fall like
rain to the bottom of the vessel con
taining tt. Ily a proper arrangement
it may then be drawn oft into an open
i receptacle ready for us. When seen in
an open vessel ii might be mistaken
for boiling water, as it sinunets and
gives oft a white vapor. When first
pourod out it boils violently, throwing
oft a clou I of vapor that rolls down
the sides of the vessel. Hut as soon
as the receptacle has cooled to the tem
perature of the liquid it quiets down to
a simmer, which continues until all has
evaporated and returned to air. This
may require several hours if oarc is
taken to keep the vessel away from
every conductor of heat. Hut if it be
placed on a plate of iron or even on a
block of ice it will bod violently and
very soon mingle with its native air.
II poured out on a conductor, as iron
or ice, it will assume the gaseous state,
so rapidly as to amount loan explosion.
As a freezing agent the power of liquid
air is terrific. It freezes pure air very
readily, and freezes mercury so hard
that it may be used as a hammer to
drive nails into hard wood ; and so
thorough is the chill given Unit tho
mercury retains the solid slate for sev
eral minutes. It will scar living llosh
like a red hot iron and may take the
place, of all chemical cauterizing in
surgery. As a rcfrigorator, liquid air
will be easily controlled and it can be
made lo lower the temperature ol a
room very slightly or to produce a de
gree of cold that no life could endure
For a minute. As an explosive j' g6r
~tainly has great power anil experi
ments already made indicate that it
may be used in both gunnery and
blasting; and it may thus take, the
place of both gunpowder and dyna
mite.
ASTHMA Uukk.?The season is on
now when many of our best medicine
plants arc maturing. The catalpa bean
is now at its best. This is a tree and
grows along the sidewalks in many
towns and roadsides in tho country;
grows usually about twenty feet high,
has beautiful branches of lilac colored
liowois in spring and lata- long bean
pods. These bean pods arc a valuable
remedy in many kinds of asthma, and
especially the cases that involve, the
heart. Take a good handful of the
bean pods and bruise with u hammer
or mallet; put in one quart water and
let boil gently until nearly half is
evaporated; strain, add one-thud good
whisky or brandy, and bottle. Tako
0110 lablcspoonful lour or live limes
daily. In sonic urgent cases, however,
tako a teaspoon!in every hour. Ad
ministered in this way it has a more
telling and rapid effect. If the nervous
system or heart arc involved tills is one
of our most useful remedies, if con
stipation is present, take irom live to
llfteou drops cascdra aromatic four
times daily* If the touguo is pale, take
ii huii tuitbpoonful of bicarbonate soda
in hnlf cup liot water three times daily
until tonguo is a normal color, htir
the soda until dissolved. If tho
tongue is rather red und dry drink one
or two glasses lemonade three or tour
times daily until the tongue is moist.
Thcso two conditions must ho corrected
in any disease before a remedy can act
kindly, and especially is this the case
with chronic disoascs. Gather a supply
of tho catalpa btana and mako thoui op
into m&diciuo. It costs little, and may

THE TRUST PROBLEM; |
Tho tluancial journals of tho couutry !
ore full of reports of consolidation., of
giant manufacturing, mining, tians
portation, banking and Other interests
into huge trusts. They tell us that the
aggregate amount of capital stock rep
resented in these trusts (hat have
secur d charters in the Slate of New
.Jcisoy alone exceed three aud a lmlf
billion dollars. iTiiis enormous amount
exceeds two to one the aggregate
amount of actual money of all kinds in
Uns country, including gold, silver and
paper. These trusts arc not all incor
porated in the State of New Jersey, but
perhaps half of them are. This would
pan out for the last year seven billion
dollars of slock, or S100 for each man
woman and child in (he United Stales.
This docs not include Umso previously
Incorporated, nor docs it even include
hanking and transportation corpora
lions.
It is a fact easily proved, and denied
by those only who arc in one way or
j another interested, that thoso stocks in
these trust companies represent in
stock about ten dollars, some times
, twenty, to every dollar of actual cash
, originally invested in the plants winch
form the combine. The object of thoso
combinations of industrial or manu?
] facturiug enterprises is then plain?to
do away with Competition, to save ex
penses bv discharging drummers and
clerks, to (ill all orders from one. com
mon center, to cm tail and control
labor, to purchase raw materials at
I lower price and sell their products at
higher prices; in other words, to in
i crease the margin of pi olit between the
) price of the raw and the finished prod*
I nets in such rations will pay dividends
> 00 from live (o twenty live times the
j original stock of the companies com
bined.
A recent statement to the point :
T?VO giant combines control SO per
1 cent, of the tobacco manufactured iu
; the United Stales. A few eiitei prises
have held cut against thoiu, trying to
force the trusts to let them in on hot
ter terms or because they do not be
lieve, in the trust's methods. Now
and then they fell in, however. One
of the two giant combinations very
recently gulped in three other plants.
Six hundred hands were Immediately
discharged and the wages of those re
tained cut at the .rate of two dollars
out of every live. They tell the public
that these combinations are beneficial;
they regulate prices belli of raw and
finished products, and give staple, un
changeable pay to labor. But facts
prove the contrary.
With such conditions lacing us,
should not the common people of the
country unite for self protection and to
learn bow to throttle thoso gi Ult coin
