from thv coast winds by a low oak

may find cheap lands or Government

of warts when hu was a boy, and -times
he split a bean and tied it dfeVaf

buried it at midnight in the cross t4s
in tho dark of the moon.
Kx-Secrotary Stanton said he tr!-'
that but it nercr worked. '
Secretary Fish said ho could not re
