i Where is my irrindstone? Wberp la
my rake and my axe? Did anybody
ever hear . of, a negro stealing a
grindstone. He stole it to sell or ilje
he thought It was, a cheese. I'lt bet
there are- twenty Begroes in sight cf
my house who knoxr all about that
. grindstone" out tbey won't tell. That
la a rare trait not to tell on one an
other. Who steals my young pigeons
before we get up in the morning? Ye
haven't had a. squab to eat in three

ping one of them. He had one very
bad negro who got mad and run

in his address, after carefully review

Louisiana Purchase, referred to the
doubts of President Jefferson regard

"In view of the lotp lunive settlement

docs not appear that the Presideut in
terested himself In Its fate, and it died
at the moment of Its Introduction.
'Thomas Jefferson never furnished
better .evidence- of his greatness than
when, just before the submission of
