Mr. President anil Gentlemen of the
Senate :
I hope the motion to delay the passage
Let us have
a free nod open discussion. I know that
I speak under disadvantages, not being
accustomed to talking and not having
heard the oppouents of the bill in the
House. I know that the time is now t o
short and that the bill will not pass. I
hear it whispered in the lobbies now that
I am a cigarette manufacturer, and am
therefore advocating its passage from a
selfish motive. I plead guilty to the
atrocious crime of being a cigarette
manufacturer who does not belong to
the trust on cigarettes and smoking to
baccos, and I am not here to paliatc or
deny the charge. I want to further state

I r
the Tobacco Association ot my city pro
testing against the passage of this bill.
1 want to be fair and just: there are gen
tlemen here from my city who are work
inc to defeat it because they really be
lieve that it will be to the detriment ol
the tobacco interests in that section
They believe they are tight. I btlieve
they are wrong and are only scared.
therefore take this step not only front a
selfish point of view, but also because
believe in doing so I am promoting the
best interest of my people in fighting a
combination of capital which has ti e
iron hand of tyn.mv upon their throats
I am sorrv that I have not time. Sen: -
tars, to give you all my reasons tor ad
vocating this bill. I cannot, in the linv
ited hour before me, give you even a syn
opsis ot the dangers and evils resulting
to this State from the cxistancc in our
midst ot that combine known as the
American Tobacco Company and at
which this bill is directly aimed, if not
why do we find these lobbies lull ot men
who claim to be directly benefitted by it
touching the elbows and whispering into
the ears ot almost every acnator upon
this floor? Why do paid attorneys tell
us that every Senator who votes for this
bill will be defeated two years from now?

senators, trjis is toe lasL time ever
c-xne. t to raise my voice on tbis floor,
because I have passed a c'og law for
Buncombe and am fighting the American
Tobacco Company, bence you can read
ily see that I would not return it 1 could
and I could not if I would. Yet I do
propose to do what I believe to be right
and for the best interests ol my state
and if that is treason, put me down as a
traitor. I repeat then, that I am not
only in favor of this bill from selfish pur
poses, because I believe that self preser
vation is the first law of nature, but also
because I believe its passage would be in

I e . 1 c a, 1 . 1
larmers mc gruwers ui 1.11c ica 1 l uc
laborers, and the consumers of my sec
tion, as well as the entire State. Should
I look at it in an entirely selfish view,
then I might well say, let the trust exist;
I now have but one competitor and have
the sympathies of the people on my side,
and can sell all the cigarettes I desire, or
can make, and if you stop it you create
competition and hence my profits would
be less. I say if this were all, I might
say, let them alone. That tbey will
finally buy our concern oat and as a
business matter I do not hesitate to say
that 1 would sell them my stock or even
our plant, ii they would give its value to
our company but as a matter of right
and justice to the people of my section,
and to the people of the State, I advo
cate the passage of the bill.
Let ns ere what was the first thing tbis
trust did after it was formed under laws
of the land. They bought up all the ma
chines and patents in tbis country, took
them out of all the small factories in the
country which refused to enter it, thus
virtually closing the small industries, be
cause no factory making citrarettrs bv
hnnd can compete with machines. The
most any expert hand can make in ten
hours is 2,500, while a machine can
make 2,500 in ten minutes. Hence the
closing of the small concerns and crushing
out ot the inlant industries ot that class.
Pelhnm's Pliarm t cy . Thev Pext 1?a"iere1d uudcr theirf urwtect-
I ing wing all the larger manufacturers.
and thus resting behind tbc strong arm
of the law which gave them this right to
combine, they say to the growers of the
lent and the consumers of the manufac
tured products, we will pay you what
we please, and you shall give us what
we ask robbing and plundering the peo
ple under the very sanction of the la'v
they themselves bad created, thus be
ing enabled to drive out competition by
retusiug to buy from any person except
their own agent at each market.
It is further stated by tbc opponents of
tbis bill that it will ruin the real estate
of the towns in this State, that it will
render it worthless, and tnat ic will de
preciate fifty percent ; that where you
now see thriving towns and cities in tbis
State you will then see them in Virginia,
and that our houses will be deserted,
our mat kels lileles, our warehousemen
impoverished for the benefit of our sister
State. Well, I too, am a real estate man
and this is another reason why I favor
this bill, because I am opposed to any
combination of capital that can make or
break a city or town at its will. If this
is treason te the real estate men of the
State, make the most of it.
Another reason why I am opposed to
this trust is that it is the legitimate child
of the McKinley bill, which we denounced
in every part of this broad land as a
party; and I say this legitimate child ot
this bill the American Tobacco Com
pany is robbing the farmers, as well as
the consumers, rieht in my own section.
as well as in the whole State, of hundreds
and thousands of dollars each month
and year, and will continue to do so
until we dissolve it and drive it out of
existence as a trust in this State. We
have today unseated the champion of the
McK.inley bill from tue 'residential
chair, driven the party Irom power
tbat created the trust. Now. let us as
PARI nniiniuti I Democratic Senators be true to our
1 1 II r- I.IImFANT Dlcdirea to the neoole and drive out the
U W I" ha I creature, too. Let us take the advice of
that great and glorious stateman, whose
inaugural address lies on our desks, and
assist toe people to destroy these mon
opolistic tyrants.
These lobbyists tell us that if we pass
mis diii iney will leave tms State, tnat
we are right in fighting the trust, but
don t do it here; go to the congress ol
the United States and make the tight,
Don't you know that when they have a
compnny of lobbyists here backed only,
perhaps, with a few dollars as attorney
lees, that tbey would bave regiments in
the lobbies of the United States congress
with their their thousands, ye, millions
of money, it necessary, to defeat it.
pointing too to our actions as Demo
cratic members of a Democratic and to
bacco Statcwbo had refused to pass it,
thus giving them a powerful weapon
with which to defeat national legislation

and not wait for a fu'ure dny and place.
If thev wish, let them go but they
will not go. Virginia too, true to her
patriotism and lore of country, will also
pass a similar bill, and drive them on to
some othtr Stale.
They cannot leave. Their interests are
here, their property is here, tb.Hr tobacco
grows here, their markets are here, their
warehouses and warenouscmen are here.
Pass tbis bill and they will simplv dis
solve and go ba-k into an honorable and
legitimate busi ess, continuing to buy
North Carolina tobacco on North Caro-
ina markets as they did before. Com
petition would be restored, bn vers would
come inte the markets tcr the different

the warehousemen would pay more for
tobacco because of comiiei ition, the
farmers would get more for leaf, towns
would build up, real estate would in
crease in value and the old days of good
prices and fair dealing would be restored
that we once bad, and our larm;rs
would not always be waiting for better
times and starving to death while waiting.
It might u iscttle business for a short

get over the scare, and the trust found
out that the people interlocal to run this

soon have an era of prosierity greater

They would all remain, and come back
into the markets as individual buyer?.
in tail competition, even the heads of
this giant itself, unless they have made
money enough upon which to retire; it
they have then others would take their
places.
Senators, 1 reticat, that this trust, with
headquarters at New York today has
almost ruined the tobacco interests of
this country, by putting down the prices
of the leaf ot the larmrr and puttmg up
the price of the manufactured goods
which he chews and smokes. Don't
take my word for it, but ro into these
balls and ask these warehousemen upon
the honor of men, to tell vou whether or
not their books do not show that the
prices paid for tobacco since this trust
was formed are not bundreds of thou
sands of dollars less in each market in
this State. Go to the homes of the poor
man who sleeps in his tobacco barn from
Monday morning until 112 o'clock on
Saturday night, eating bis corn bread
and molasses and frying his bacon on the
tires of bis tobacco Hues, while his chit
dren are cutting the uncut cd leaves on
the trcs'ed hills by the aid of God's
moonlight, and tell mc if be will not say
his earnings have not been mti.h less in
dollars and cents, and tnat the prices
received have been almost below the cost
ot product ion, and in many cases less,
A large buver in my town told me last
fall that the money received for tobacco
on that market was at least
$200,000 less for the same time
since the formation of this trust, whil
the quantity and quality of the tobacco
were much greater.
Democratic Senators, a-e these cold
facts not sufficient toenableyou to strike
this monster the deserved stab? As it
bas been in my town so it has been all
over North Carolina. You may ask me
bow that can be. I will tell you. Before
this trust was filmed we found buyers
tor cigarette and smoking tobaccos on
our markets from every part of the
country, representing different houses
and different countries, and different
States. But no sooner was this trust
formed on the tobaccos of tbis State than
tbey bought up, as I have said, all the
cigarette machines then in existence,
took the buyers of our stock into the
trust ; took off all the buyers of these
large houses, except one of their own at
each market, and then dictated and low
ered the prices to suit themselves. There
is today, under the direction of this
trust, but one buyer for the ninety per
cent, of all the tobacco growa in this
State manufactured by this trust, on
each market, not only in tbis State but
Virginia also. Tbat buyer on that mar
ket is the King and the Czar. Others
may buy, but unless they can get it at a
lower price, in his absence, than he de
sires to pay, they will keep it until it rots
or sell it at a loss, because there is prac
tically no buyer or consumer for them.
The rest are simply "pin hookers" for the
trust's agents. This trust, then, is not
only, by tbis combination of circum
stances and capital, enable to put down
the price of the farmers' leaf, but also to
put up the price of the laborer's and
mechanic's chew and smoke. Not only
this, but even the government of the
Untied States has strengthened its iron
hand of power by reducing, at its dic
tation, the price of stamps tor manufac
cured goods from 8 to G cents per pound.
thus giving them out of the treasury it
self 01 tne united states two cents clean,
clear cur. prone per pound, making a
bonus in one year of hundreds and bun
dreds of dollars to tbis one company. No
grower of leaf, no farmer, no mechanic,
no laborer, or even merchant, gets any
part of the two cents bonus. And again
not satisfied witn this irovernrnental ta
vor you find the lobbyist of tbis giant in
the very halls of the United States Con
gress, in tbe very committee rooms of kc
publican caucus, dictating prices and rul,
and raising tbe tariff on cigarettes frt in
$2.25 per thousand to $S.OO per thot s-
and, thus making it impossible to have
foreign competition, as tbey sell the r
cigarettes for $3.65, and tbe cost is only
about $1.50 per thousand. Thev drive
from tbis country fortitin buveis of our
leaf, shut out foreign sellers, an 1 take
absolute control of the tobacco markets
of tbis nation.
It may be said that I also take advan
tages 01 tbis same law. I grant it. But
you must remember that that docs not
make it justifiable for the State to sanc
tion it by laws. 1 am tbe only manufac
turer South tbat I know of. who bas a
cigarette machine outside of tbis trust.
that is not tied up with litigation so as
to be able to use it. and thev are trvine to
crush us with suits at this very moment,
altnougn tbey nave been beaten in tbe
bnglian courts on this same issue. Thev
have no hope of success except to break
us with lawsuits and intimidation. They
tried to get this patent from tbc inven
tor and have him take away tbis machine
from us. bat tailed. When unsuccessful at
tbis, what did they do ? brought suit
against us, not in the courts of onr State
where we could try it before the farmers
ot tne country, but took us into the Fed
eral courts where it would be more ex pec
sive to us and favorable to them. Not
satisfied with this hounding and persecu
tion. What else? No sooner had our sales
men been put on the road until they fol
lowed us with cheap goods, selling at
$2 when never before bad tbey sold any
lor less than $3.to. Also, with tne impu
dence ot a brass monkey, tbey write to
merchants and threaten and intimidate
them into handling their goods to tbe
exclusion ot all others. We have such
letters of intimidations in our hands
Wbat next.' Not satisfied yet, they go
into tbe markets aud bny up as they
supposed all tbe paper in the hands of
importers, forcing us as much as poasib'c
to buy or import paper in blocks of
$15,000 too large amount for any small
manufacturer to carry. Wbat next ?
With tbe unbridled audacity of Satan
himself, thev write us through their at
torncv, who is here upon tbis floor and
whose letter I hold in my hand, knowing
that we had just bought $6,000 worth of
boxes, that wc must change tbe lettering
and colors ot tbe same. Saying in these
words: l ne arrangement ot tbe words,
tbe coloring and shading of tbe letters
tne very ornamentation and lines are
close copies of tbe inscription on tl e
packages containing 'Duke's B.st' manu
factured by the American Tobacco com-
Eany." My God! Democratic Senators,
as it come to this in North Carolina,
tbat one company has a monopoly on
the very colors of the rainbow, the shap
ing and arranging of tbe letters of our
alphabet, aud the color of our ink. I
have seen it stated that five ol this coin-
nauv cot iu dividends last year $175 OOO
each, besides one gets a salary of $50,000
per year, the same pay as tbe man
who controls tne destinies 01 U3 uuu.uuu
pe iple. Can it be possible that such
fortunes can be made out of the farmers
of North Carolina in a legitimate and
fair wav when these farmers can t get
cost of raising their leaf and are starving
111 rags and covered with mortgages.' 1
say, can it be possible that we will vote
to sustain a combine that makes more
money out of the tobacco of this State
in one year, while the growers are starv
ing, than any Senator ur- I a n his
Senatorial district? Democratic Sena
tors, are you willing to kill this bill thut
will give the desired relief, as we believe.
and continue to vote to keep alive this
tyrant tbat is robbing and bleeding your
constituents at every pore' Are vou
willing to foster the tyrant that is
crushing the infant industries ot th's
country? This tyrant is only an infant
tyrant now ot two or three years old; it
he is so powcrtul now what will he do
when he becomes a full sxrown man, an
old gi ml ? Senators, let us stop by our
vot s tbis class 1 gisiat ion that enables
one man, or set of men, to make out of
the farroe'S, laborers, mechanics, pro
ducers and consumers $10 per minute.
$600 per hour and $5, OOO per day. It
is dangerous to the liberties of the peo
ple. It will soon make us a nation of
monied tyrants and kings. Let us d s-
solve this trust. W'e have the power;
this bi'l does it. Iet us not shirk our
duty to ourselves, our country and our
od. Let us break all such unfair con.-
bines and let the people sell where they
can get the mnst and buy where they
can buy the cheapest. Such combines
tbat are able to lower or put up prices
at will affect not only one business but
all our liberties. 1 wish we could inc'uele
Armour & Co. and the Staudard Oil
Co. in this same bill. But it is b.-st to
strike one snake at a time and be sure to
mash his head before we tackle the rest.
Armour & Co. also have the incut mar
ket of tbis country in their bands. Thev
could, if they so desired, create a meat
famine in every home of every mech.-inic
and laboring man in this country in our
day'f time. Tr.esc trusts reach out into
every home and hill, valley and cove of
this broad land. They lock up the treas
ures of the earth, circumvent Providence
itself and pile money on top of money,
making tbe rich richer and the pot
poorer. Tbey defy courts and seem to
threaten Legislatures and tbe very liber
ties of the people themselves. They
build golden ronds to fortune, but no
poor man and mechanic travel- it. Upon
each mile stone is written in golden let
ters, monied aristocracv, reduced wages
of the laborer, reduced prices of tbe farm
er's products, infant industries destroyed,
competition annihilated, and damned be
those who are not willing to take what
1 give and give what I am willing to
take. Senators, I appeal to y u as Dem
ocrats, I appeal to you as patriots, I op
peal to ynu in the name of the State 1
love, in the name of tin oppressed and
down-trodden people, in the name of the
commercial and business life of this State,
in the name of the humble homes of the
poor of the land, not to kill tbis bill, hut
pass it. But if you will not pass it, then
go home and join a company to tear
down your tobacco warehouses, burn
do jvn your barns, shoot your hous and
cattle, and that will rob vou should you
ever attempt to return to tbis capital. 1
am tbrougn, having made my last appeal
in tbe name ol my country against the
monied power and combined trusts ot
tbe country, who have one band pon
the throat of tbe government and the
other in the pockets of the people.
READING THE FINGER NAILS.
Character nn It Is Expressed In the Tips of
m Womnu's Fingers.
Examine her finger nails. If these
wear the hue of bereavement but why
suggest anything so odions and impossi
ble? If they are tinned with ink, beware
of the learned lady, or perhaps she is a
successful novelist, with a fortune at her
finger ends. Y-t she limy le a Sappho, a
poet, and we have a distinct impression
that u must; may be a jierilous person to
marry, s in l .ioi-ase of Miss Blanche
Ainory. And poetry is not a paying pro
fession, and Mrs. Ilt uians was "too poet
ical" for Sir Walter Scott. However,
these are merely mortal inferences. It
needs no '-palmist" to tell the young
man all this?, nor does "the palmist"
dally over such inferences.
If her (Inner nulU are wider than lli- are long,
beware!
She liath her nails not long, but hnrnd. H-.-warel
as the swett singer of America might
have nail. "A hot temper and obstinate
disposition are indicated." This kitten,
as in Mr. James Boswell's poem, will
grow a cat and croBB like other wives.
If the nails are square tipped, round
ed next the hand, yon may "expect a
quick and peppery temper," but not
sulks, which is the worst of tempers in
matrimony. Remember that when a lady
gives you her hand she gives you all that
the hand implies very probably she
gives you pepper. It would be very in
teresting to know what kind of nails
Mrs. Carlyle had, and what sort adorned
the fingorn of Mary Stuart, who notori
ously "blew up" her 1 usband, though
indeed he richly deserved it. Jhluckily
port raits are of little service, aSlhe hands
too often are fanciful and conventional,
especially after Vandyke.
"Almond shaped nails, especially if not
too pink, indicate a cheerful, sweet teni
ler" and are also of high aesthetic value.
"If tho nails are bitten." but we refuse
to believe that the nails of the fair are
ever bitten. Everybody would shun a
maiden who bit her thumb at him.
"If you want a careful, economical
wife, look at her thumb." But who
wants an economical wife, one that will
imitate Mary Stuart when she buys an
Elzevir or an engraving? The collector,
at least, and the convivial soul of open
hnnd will avoid a lady who lives by rule
of thumb. An extravagant thumb bends
back very far when the hand is opened,
as all hands should le. "Do not choose
a girl who has a soft, fat hand," with
fingers held close together. These things
indicate selfishness but it may le sel
fishness a deux and convenient. Lon
don News,
Mountainous waves.
The daily papers all recorded the fact
that the steamship Majestic, on her east
ward trip, caught a sea that demolished
her crow's nest lookout, and that the
Teutonic, which caught the same gale
coming west, had one eea which combed
over the crow's nest and carried away
her forward port lifeboat as it went over
the rail. But none' of the daily papers
took tbe trouble to mention just how
the crow's nest is situated on these ships,
and consequently how high that sea was.
Inquiry by a Marine Journal repre
sentative discov. 11 -1 t'.iut, while in men-of-war
and many other ships the cus
tom is to have the crow's uest in the
foretop or a trifle above, the White Star
ships bave it at an altitude of 25 feet
above the main deck on the foremast,
reached by a little iron ladder from the
forward hurricane deck. In such a sliip
as the Majestic or Teutonic the height
of the main deck at the forerigging is
about 40 feet above the level of the sea,
which would make the height of the
wave that carried away the crow's nest
in this instance about 70 feet. This is a
pretty big roller for the north Atlantic,
but in other parts of the ocean such
waves are often encountered in a storm.
Supposing the ship to have been in a
trough of the sea at the time this wave
swept her, the mean height of the wave
might be calculated as not greater than
40 feet, but it was certainly a body of
water nearly 70 feet high from where the
ship floated. Mamie Journal.
New Use For m Linen Cufl'.
"Look here," said a well known man
the other day, "this is a letter from
a friend who is now in Pittsburg." The
speaker produced a soiled cuff on which
a message had been written. The cuff
bore the stampof the Pittsburg postofflce,
as well as a canceled postage stamp.
The message read: "I haven't any paper
at hand, but Uncle Sam will transmit
this cuff, for which I have no further
use. Linen is of no use to a man who is
dead flat busted. Send me $100."

Wailing fur the Minister.
A good story is told of Mr. Labou
Chere during his career in the diplomatic
service and while lie was an attache at
Washington. An "aggressively irato'
visitor called at the legation and de
manded to see the British minister. Mr.
Labouchere informed him that he could
not, because "his excellency was not in."
"Well," said ths visitor, evidently sus
pecting subterfuge,' I must see him, and
will wait till he comes." "Very good."
said Mr. Labouchere. "Pray take a
chair," and he resumed his writing. At
the end of an hour the visitor, "still fret
ting and fuming, asked when the min
ister would be back. "I really cannot
say exactly," the attache answered. "But
you expect him back?" the visitor insist
ed. "Oh, certainly , said Mr. Labou
chere and went on writing.
At the end of another hour the irate
visitor, bouncing; up. insisted on know

at that period of tbe day. Was he likely
to be in in another honr? "I think not."

An Intelligent Cow.
Colonel I. D. McDonald of Columbia
City, Jnd., tells a good story of ani
mal intelligence. He had bought a lot
of stock, including a cow and her calf,
which he was driving home. The cow's
affection for its offspring had attracted
attention more than once.
At length a river was reached, which,
being unbridged, the cattle had to ford.
The water was deep, and as the cattle
plunged in they were swept off their
feet, the mother cow among the rest.
The calf meantime was taken by the
current several rods down stream, and
when the poor cow regained her footing
and discerned this her distress was ap
parent. Instead of making for the oppo
site shore, as the other animals had
done, she swam down the stream below
her calf. The current drove the young
creature against the protecting bulk of
the mother.
The cow, satisfied at this state of af
fairs, started for the shore, the calf swim
ming alongside of her. About midway
of the river the swift current, striking
tho calf in tho fore quarter, swept it be
hind the cow. and ag;iin it floundered
down stream.
Once more the mother went to the
rescue. She had to swim around to the
other side of the calf. and. this done, she
had to steady herself in the stream until
the calf was against her side. Her ef
forts were this time successful, and cow
and calf swam safely to shore. Indian

Mr. Itoosevelt Tells a story or 1 wo.
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt is a practical
politician and has some gcod stories to
tell of his experiences while in the legis
lature. In his address before the Liberal
club on Thursday evening be told some
of them.
One was of a legislator who used to
ask him to support unconstitutional bills.
But, my dear friend, Mr. Roosevelt
would say, "it's unconstitutional." "1
never allow the constitution to come be
tween friends," was the reply, and then
becoming very indignant the man would
add, "Mr. Roosevelt, the constitution
doesn't treat little things like that."
Another man objected to his quoting
Latin. "What do you mean by quoting
Latin on the floor of this house?" thun
dered the objector, ' when you don't know
the alpha or omega of the language?"
Buffalo Express.
Wolves In China.
The plague of wolves in Shon-See, a
mountainous province of north central
China, is described as becoming move
and more alarming. A correspondent
in that part writes that in the village in
which he is sojourning they had heard
of 11 persons being carried off by these
animals in seven days. Most of tho vic
tims were children, the rest young per
sons of 16, 10 and 20 yearsof age. "They
come," says the writer, "to our village
here every night just now. Men are be
stirring themselves, going out in large
numbers to hunt them, as yet, however,
unsuccessfully. Tonight we have put
poisoned mutton in two places not far
off, hoping to find at least one dead wolf
tomorrow. They roam in open daylight,
boldly entering villages and carrying off
helpless little ones. Three went in com
pany a few days ago into a native vil
lage. One of the number entered a hut
and snatched a little child from his fa
ther's arms. Pursuit in every case has
been futile. It seems this is their breed
ing time; hence their abnormal bold
ness." London News.

Nature and lefornalty.
Nature is very particular to conceal
her deformities, aud all that is worthless
or ungraceful generally drops off from
a tree unless it be an injury to the trunk.
From such effects the tree never recov
ers. Go into the fotests and how often
we see deformed trees, some bent nnd
twisted, some parted till the original
trunk becomes like two each crossing
and recrossiiig the other. This was done
by depression or injury to the tree in its
young and teuder years. Nature has no
power to right a broken law neither In

A Mas'a Nerves.
Mrs. Biuks Ooot Doesn't it make
yon nervous to have the wind blow so
this time of night?
Mr. Binks Why?
"Just hear the windows! They rattle
like everything:.'"
"Urn, it would make me nervous to
hear tbs windows rattle if the wind
wasn't blowing." New York Weekly
Why Mr. Uepew Hides Home.
Until this winter Chauncey M. Depew
bas made it a practice to walk home
from the numerous dinners he is called
on to attend. He always found it, he
said, an aid to digestion and a famous
inducer to sound sleep to walk home
in the quiet night after a public ban
quet and the attendant excitement.
"But this winter," said he, "so many
men began to step up to me in the street
that I grew a little nervous. They all
knew my name. Now, it is a bit star
tling when a man is walking through a
quiet street at dead of uight to have a
man whom he has not noticed approach
suddenly appear in front of hiva and
wake him out of his reverie by a brisk
'good evening or a request for a night's
lodging. I haven't had any one make a
more serious demand than for a night's
lodging, but I began to thinL that a more
unpleasant demand might be made some
time, and the result was that I abandoned
my late walks, and now I always ride
home. New York Times.
A Costly Prayer Book.
