ft MFaitMnlness of Peter Wisr, One of the TTerlen it tie
Htll Farm Mine.
J. Annoy Knox, the New Tort funny
man. originally from the Lone Star State, a
contributor to The Dispatch, and one of
the proprietors of Texas Siftingt, is stopping
at the Duquesne. When asked if he wai
here attending the Sunday School Conven
tion, he replied that he was a Presbyterian
by faith, but was merely passing through
on a weslern business trip. Before he re
turns he will visit his Texan ranch, which
he has not seen in two years.
Mr. Knox believes in a strict observance
of the Sabbath, but the old blue laws as
enforced in Pittsburg rather surprised
him. He thought it was right to suppress
the sale of liquor on Sunday, bnt drawing
the line on soda water and cigars be held
was ridiculous. Changing the subject to
the modern funny business, which has be
come part and parcel of the daily news
paper. Mr. Knox said:
SOT A BED OP EOSES.
"The life of the funny man is not an easy
one. I find it no trouble to write after I
have secured an idea, bnt to get to the idea
is the difficulty. I have offered from $20 to
?30 per week for a good suggestion, which I
would accept. I received lots of them, in
cluding alleged short tales of a humorous
cast, but I can't s:e many of them.
It isn't hard for a reporter to write about
n conflagration. All he has to do is to pre
sent the task, but with me I have to grind
it out. Sometimes my liver is out of order,
or I leel a little jaded, and the funny ap
paratus refuses to wort.
"These Sunday supplements are being
printed now so early in the week that I find
it difficult to furnish the Kew Yorksyndi
cate with my matter early enough in the
week. They would like to have it on Mon
day, but I frequently hand it in as late as
Thursday. It's a tough job, at times, to
get the column out ot me.
"I am a sociable brute, and love to talk
with my fellows. Dropping into the Hoff
man House I pick up any number of stories,
but the trouble is to weed out the chestnuts.
I am pretty well up, as a rule, but some
times what I think to be new is pronounced
old by other people.
GIVES HIS JOKES AWAT.
"Many of the anecdotes I write are
worked up from suggestions and tips I re
ceive. I put them in the mouth of a man
like Depew or Florence, and at once they
have a local habitation and a name. Any
thing these men would say, you know, the
people would consider interesting.
"I have a man on the Stftings that I call
the deck-hand poet. All I have to do is to
give him the first line or suggestion and in
a short time he will write 14 stanzas. Of
course it is not of a high order, something
on the style of the topical song breed, but
he is a handy fellow to have around. Then
we have a few other men who grind out
fairly good poetry, bnt it is not an easy job.
"It is surprising how the funny business
in the newspapers has grown since 1881.
There is scarcely a paper th'ese days ihat
doesn't give its readers a surfeit of it. I
don't like the average newspaper para
grapher. There is little in his wit or humor,
and much ot it is so much rubbish, simply
abominable."
Mr. Knox is a very entertaining gentle
man, of medium age. He wears a large
slouch hat, and rather long, flowing side
whiskers.
BUTFIANISM DEAD IN TEXAS.
The Railroad Hare Sealed the Fate ot
Wild-Eyed Deiperadoc.
Accompanying Armory Knox in his
travels is W. T. Hardenbrook, of the Hotel
Register. He was formerly connected with
Tezat Stftings, and had a varied experi
ence as a newspaper man along the Bio
Grande borders.
"I have often been tempted," said he at
the Duquesne yesterday, "to write my news
paper reminiscences in Texas. I went
there when a young man, in the
days when the desperado ruled the
plains with the bowie knife and revolver.
A meat ax figured prominently in many of
my experiences, but the Texas ruffian has
taken a back seat. He has been knocked
out by the railroads. There are to-day few
interior towns in Texas. The gridiron of
roads reaches almost every place, and it is
impossible for a man to commit a crime and
then board a mustang and be out of sight
before even a cry of alarm could be raised.
Too many of these fellors have been hanged
and sent to the penitentiary, while others
have poured out their lives dangling at the
end of a rope.
"When I went South it was at the time
when the Northern man was said to be at a
discount I never was treated rudely by
the Southern people, and I soon discovered
that the man who was debarred in the
South was also discarded at home. In
Texas there is only the common feeling of
cordiality and hospitality for people who
behave themselves, and all this talk about
Southern hatred of Northern men is only
chatter."
Air. Hardenbrook was appointed by the
Governor of Texas to represent the State at
the New Orleans Exposition, quite an honor
conferred on a red hot Yankee.
HE IS THEEE TO STAY.
Remarkable Work Done by Feter Wise at
the OInbonlne: Bllne.
Among the men working at Dunbar to re
cover the imprisoned miners is one whose
modest demeanor has so far tailed to gain
I for him proper recognition at the hands of
the reporters. His name is Peter Wise, ex
District Master Workman of the Knights
of Labor, and a man who has the respect
aud confidence of every coal digger in the
Conncllsville district Since the disaster
occurred he has not taken off his clothes, yet
he never complains, bnt works away and
keeps his mouth shut. He has the
happy knacfc or going to sleep anywhere,
and, wrapping his rubber coat about him,
lie will lie down on the ground and in two
Minutes be wandering amid the flowers and
grass of dreamland. When he was at the
head of the miners often during some pro
tracted labor trouble he never removed his
apparel, but slept on the ground or where
ever he could find a resting place.
The othernight at the Mahoning mine he
was sitting in the doctors' tent, on an empty
jpuwucrcau, ujb iace DiacK with the grimy
dirt. It was the first time he complained
since the work of rescue was commenced,
when he remarked to Colonel Kerfoot: "I
have an awfn), thumping headache. It
seems to me a blacksmith shop is in opera
tion inside of my cranium. I need rest and
. sleep, but 1 won't go home. I have come
here to stay until these men are taken out,"
and with these words he started down the
xnanway to lead the night shift.

DYING OPINI0K.,
The Minion of Two VUltora From Llborln
Needs of Their Country. x
Hon. Newton J. Squires and Bev. C. M.
Billsby, ,two prominent citizens of the
African Bepublic, of Liberia, passed
through Pittsburg last night, en route for,
Chicago. Both gentlemen are colored, and
have remarkably intelligent features. Mr.
Squires has aetred since 1884 in
the National Council of Liberia, and was
from 1886 to 1888 Secretary of the
Interior. He is Chief Commissioner
on colonization, and in this capacity has
been dispatched to America to study opin
ion here on the proposed emigration of our
negroes to Africa.
Mr. Billsby first became noted as a mis
sionary among the unconverted Africans,
and has written a volnme on his labors in
Central Africa and Morocco. He is Secre
tary of the Liberian Colonization Commis
sion. Mr. Squires said: "We are a thriv
ing community in Liberia, but we would
thrive still more if we had an injection of
new and pure American negro blood. Un
fortunately, we admitted some white
men into our colony, and we find
that the hali-breeds of the State
constitute a .thorn in our side, and are uni
tormly idle and shiftless. The Coloniza
tion Commission was appointed by our
Council to discuss the advisability of adding
fresh territory, and inducing civilized and
industrious negroes from America to settle
thereon. Our capital, Monrovia, could
easily be made a center of trade and an ad
mirable market town for State produce.
The new lands wonld be set at a very low
price."
The commissioners stated lurther that
they had stopped a little in New York and
were abont to visit Chicago, after which
they would go South. Mr. Billsby re
marked that their intention was to ulti
mately advertise in several of the chief
newspapers for such negroes as desired to
settle in Liberia. The new provinces will
be named after the first emigrants who
volunteer.
AGAINST ME. DELAKATEB.
Good Republicans Afraid Standard Oil
Grease Will Elect Him.
"I won't vote for Delamater," said a hotel
clerk yesterday, emphatically.
"Why not?" queried a reporter.
"Oh, I don't like him, but I am afraid he
will be elected. There is too much grease
to be used, and as the representative of the
Standard Oil Company, he has morel than
one barrel at his disposal. I think if the
election were to be held in the next ten days
any good Democrat would beat him. Things
may "change, however, by fall, and it
wouldn't surprise me at all if he carried Ihe
State with a majority of 50.000. It would
be a left-handed slap if the State should re
pudiate the man who made Harrison Presi
dent, but I would like to see it done."
A SIMPLE EEMEDY FOE CHAMPS.
When Top Feel the Fain Take u. Mixture of
Heated Floor nod WhUky.
An ancient physician was leaning against
a post yesterday sunning himself with
the afternoon heat.
"What is a simple and effectual remedy
for cramps, doctor?" was asked.
"A timely question, my boy," he an
swered quickly. "This is the season of the
year when men are doubled up without cere
mony. Plour and whis'ky are two simple
ingredients, and easily obtainable. The
violent pain can be stopped by heating a
spoonful of each and after mixing them
drink the decoction down. It soon gives re
lief, and if persisted in will soon restore the
inflamed stomach to a healthy condition."
DULL FREIGHT BUSINESS.
Rallrond Men Wnliins for the End of the
Hot Weather.
"This is the dull season in most lines of
business," remarked J. A. Hall, commercial
agent of the Bock Island road. "The rail
roads are not carrying much freight. The
iron and glass shipments are nothing to
what they will be in August and Septem
ber, when the trade revives.
"There is a 17,000-ton rail order going
over my road from this city to the Choctaw
Coal jind Bailroad Company, of El Reno,
Ind. Ty. There will be besides from 10 to
15 cars of splice bars and bolts and eight
cars of spikes. In May I sent west 3,000,
000 pounds from this territory.
MAJ0B H0NT00TH AT HOME.
He Was Tired, and Asked to be Excused
From an Interview.
Major Montooth returned from Washing
ton last evening accompanied by his sister.
He was tired from the journey, and begged
to be excused. He denied most emphatically
that he had gone to the Capital to see
Senator Cameron. While there he called on
a number of friends, but they were social
visits.
When asked if he would take the stump
for the ticket, the Major replied that he
hadn't made up his mind, and didn't care to
say any more for the present.
UP GOES THE PRICE OF BOOKS!
Ulonrnlnp, Lamentation and Woe for the
Publisher of the Encyclopedia Brltan
nlca and Other American Reprints.
Judge Shipman, of the United States Dis
trict Court, has rendered a decision of great
importance to the international copyright
question. The invention by American in
genuity of a very cheap process for repro
ducing books by photography has enabled
American publishers to reproduce expensive
foreign books at about one-third the price of
the original. The result has been Ameri
cans could buy the choicest works of the
best foreign talent at a very low price.
The Encyclopedia Britaunica, a work of
unequaled merit aad admitted authority
contains many articles by American authors
of distinction, who either hold the copy
right of these articles themselves or have as
signed it to the Messrs. Blacks, of Edin-
ourgn. ine axary it. Alien Uompany, by
the photographic process, have been for
over two years reproducing the Bntannica in
it entirety, and selling the work at one-
halt to one-third tne price of the original
edition. The Messrs. Blacks, with the
Scribners, their American agents, and Gen
eral Erancis A. Walker, have attacked the
firm of Henry G. Allen Companv in the
United States Courts, and asked "to have
them enjoined from further publication,
and made to account for the profits from
past business resulting from the reproduc
tion of the work.
The Henry G. TAUen Company demurred
to the bill, on the grounds that, as the arti
cles claimed as copyrighted have appeared
in a book, almost the whole of which be
longs to an alien, and is not copyrighted,
the said articles are not entitled to protec
tion by our copyright laws; and were se
cured and published by the alien publishers
expressly to prevent a reproduction.
Judge Shipman has overruled the demur
rer, and ruled that an American does not
lose title to his property by mixing it with
an uncopyrighted book; and that a citizen
of the United States, who is the owner of a
copyright, can assign the whole of such
copyright to a foreigner and he thereby
be protected by such coovrip-hL
Unless the Supreme Court reverses Judge
Shipman's ruling this valuable work will
be outf the reach of persons of moderate
means. It is probable an injunction will
be served on the publishers ot the reprints,
at least pending decision of the Supreme
Court, where the case will in all probabil
ity be carried.

THEY WILL NOT SIGN.
Many Manufacturers Dissatisfied
With the Amalgamated Scale.
AH0THER CONFERENCE MONDAY.
Enough Extras to Epal a Six-Dollar-a-Ton
Bate for Boiling.
DOINGS OF A DAI IN LABOR CIRCLES
The Amalgamated Association scale for
1890-91 is not receiving the signatures of
the manufacturers as rapidly as the officials
expected it to. The conference between the
manufacturers and the men were resumed
yesterday. The meeting was held at 102
Fourth avenue, and lasted from 10 o'clock
in the morning until after 7 o'clock last
evening, with an intermission of an hour for
dinner. Last year the scale was signed
promptly by the manufacturers, without any
conferences. Three days have now been
spent on this year's scale, and an amicable
settlement'seems as far distant as the day
the first conference was held.
The objections to the scale seem to be of
greater weight than was at first thought.
One manu:acturer argued yesterday that the
Amalgamated Association had put in
enough extra to make up for the rate talked
of for boiling, and said that they might
better have come out squarely and asked for
?6 per ton, instead of $5 50 and trying to
make up the difference in extras. Vice
President Boberts, of the Associatlon,ad
mitted last night that if the base of the
scale had been raised to $6, he believed it
would have been signed without any diffi
culty. THE CHIEF OBJECTION.
The manufacturers' chief objection, as has
been stated in these columns, is on the
guide mill scale. A member of the Manu
facturers' Committee stated last night that
the matter had been under discussion the
greater part ot the day, and that the manu
facturers had made np their minds not to
sign the scale in its present shape. The
committee for the men have already made
several concessions of points decided
upon at the recent convention, bnt
the manufacturers are still dissatis
fied. The latter will not accept
the proposed scale for the roughers and
catchers. One of them said in yesterday's
conference that if they did accept it a way
would be left open lor the roughers and
catchers td demand more wages, and it
wonld not be six months until they would
want an increase. The manufacturers are
about ready to sign the scale if the men
modify it in regard to the guide mill scale,
but insist that the rollers must pay the
roughers and catchers, as heretofore.
A STIFF OBJECTION.
One of the most strenuous objectors to the
scale is James McCutcheon, who said to a
reporter: "We will not sign the scale as it
was adopted. We want last year's scale.
My principal objection to the scale is on the
qualfying clauses to the boiling and certain
of the rolling scales are too severe. The
Amalgamated committee tell us it is not in
tended to place a literal construction on all
these things, yet, if we sign the scale, we
could be held to the letter. I want the ex
tra time clauses modified."
Mr. McCutcheon is one of a number of
manufacturers who would be willing to sign
last year's scale for three years. Another
conference on the scale will be held to-morrow,
when both sides hope a conclusion will
be reached.
SATS IT'S NOT N0N-TOI0N.
One of Ihe Emplovlnc Printers on the Sub
ject or the Tjpotfaem.
Mr. H. P. Callow, one of the employing
printers and jobbers of the city who are in
terested in the organization of a Typothets
here, states that a wrong impression has
gone out in regard to the attitude of the
proposed organization toward Typograph
ical Union No. 7. Mr. Callow says there is
not the slightest feeling of antagonism
against the union, quite the contrary.
The organization is for mutual pro
tection in a business way, and Typograph
ical Union No. 7 was never thought of as
figuring in the reasons for such organiza
tion. READY FOB THE PICNIC.
Flint Glass Workers Will Go to Wheel
Ins Park To-Morrow.
Several thousand flint glass workers from
Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Vir
ginia will take part in the reunion at
Wheeling to-morrow.
Arrangements have been made by the
local committee to take the excursionists
over the Panhandle, but the Baltimore and
Ohio will also take a large number of them,
and has made special arrangements to land
the people within ten minutes' walk of the
Wheeling Park, which is situated directly
upon its line.
- Pipe Prices Reaffirmed.
Captain O. C. Murdoch and other Pitts
burgers returned yesterday from a meeting
of the Wrought Iron Pipe Manufacturers'
Association, which was held in New York
Friday. Former prices were reaffirmed,
and the reports showed the trade to be in a
good condition. The association sanctioned
the oil country association.
A Successful Organization.
The new oil country organization, the
formation of which was noticed exclusively
in The Dispatch this week, held another
meeting yesterday, in the office of the
National Tube Works. The organization
is complete now and promises to be of great
value to the manufacturers' agents.
Will Close Early.
The firm of Hugns & Hacke has insti
tuted a half holiday system in their stores
for the summer season. Hereafter their em
ployes will be released at 5 o'clock and on
Saturdays at 1 p. m.
A Charter Refused.
Judge Magee refused the Master
Plasterers' Association a charter yesterday
on the grounds that the objects of the ass o
ciation were not clearly stated and the ap
plication is not in proper form.

.PITTSBURG- DISPATCH,
.AN IMPORTANT PLANK.
Country Bond Improvement Recommended
In the Platform or the Republican Con
ventionThe Party Now Committed to
That Issue How the Blatter Wa Over
looked. A fact that was generally overlooked in
all newspaper reports about the Bepublican
State Convention was the recognition made
in the resolutions adopted by that body of
the country road question. Ihe platforms
usually adopted at these conventions,
as everybody knows, are written before
hand. When a Committee on Besolutions
is appointed and retires, the platform as
prepared is read them. Alterations
are not generally made to it, but
in this instance H. H. Byram, of Pitts
burg, a member of the committee, offered an
amendment to the platform. It provided
that "the forthcoming Legislature should
make an appropriation for the improve
ment of the public highways."
Some former delegate objected that this
recommendation should be attached to the
platform with a modification, because the
farmers wanted to work out road taxes in
stead or paying them. Mr. Byram tried to
show the man that if the roads were once
permanently improved by the State, there
would 'be far less taxes to be
either worked or paid upon them
than now. The force of this statement
was shown, and the amendment to the plat
form adopted, and was so read in the con
vention, and became with the article a part
of the bulwark on which the Bepublican
party rests this campaign.
The platform as originally prepared had
been riven out to the press in printed proof
slips. These were telegraphed all over the
State, and .the country road amendment
being only a single line, the addition was
scarcely observed by newspaper reporters in
the convention. For this reason newspapers,
including The Dispatch, printed the
platform with the road amendment omitted.
As The Dispatch had much to do with
arousing agitation, on this important sub
ject in Pennsylvania, it is only too happy to
publish this additional item of news about
the Bepublican platiorm.
THE DUQUESNE WINS AGAIN.
Judge Stowe Refuses Another Injunction
i Asainst the Kew Company.
Judge Stowe yesterday handed down an
opinion refusing the injunction asked for in
the case of Charles Lockhart and others
against the Craig Street Bailway Company
and the Duquesne Traction Company, to re
strain them from constructing their railway
on Negley avenue. Judge Stowe, in his
opinion, said that all the questions merged
into one whether the defendants have
shown the legal right to construct and
operate a railway on Negley avenue. This
involves the proper interpretation of the
defendants' charters, the constitutionality of
the act under which they were granted and
the validity of the ordinances of the city
giving them the right to build and operate
the road in question. Continuing, he said
that the power of the Legislature to author
ize the incorporation of companies, with
power to build and operate railways, cannot
be doubted.
As to the difference between a horse car
line and an electric line, the Court thinks
there is nothing of which the plaintiffs can
legally complain. To whatever dust, noise,
or'annoyance ia incident they must submit.
If the defendants have no legal rights then
the remedy of the plaintiffs is a common law
action for all damages they may sustain.
The case is not clear enough to stop a great
public improvement before a final hearing.
In conclusion the injunction was refused.
To Avoid Sunday TraTellng;.
The Executive Committee of the Interna
tional Sunday School Convention have
made arrangements to hold the meetings
hereafter beginning on Wednesday and
holding over the Sabbath to avoid traveling
on Sunday. Mechanical Hall is now de
serted. OPEN TO ALL.
Why the P. R. R. Seaside Excursions Blust
Become Popular.
In last Sunday's Dispatch attention was
called to the series of exenrsions the Penn
sylvania Bailroad Company proposes to run
to the seashore during the months of July
and August. Two will be in July, viz: the
10th and 24th, and in August 7 and 21. They
have become wonderfully popnlar. The
perfect manner in which they are handled,
the parlor cars run on the special day trains
and Pullman's finest chair and sleeping
cars, are models of elegance.
An impression prevails among the travel
ing public that the patronage of these low
rate excursions are not first class. In con
versation a few days ago with a prominent
business man in this city, bp assured us that
he had made a number of trips every year,
taking in Atlantic City, Cape May and the
numerous points on the Jersey coast. The
low rate at which these tickets are sold, $10
for the round trip, and limited to ten days
from date of sale, enables not only the busi
ness man and his family, but the working
men for a ten-days' outing, to enjoy a dip
in the ocean.

Enjoyed by a Tarty of Picnickers at
Boss Grove, Yesterday.
A COUPLE OP CRICKET MATCHES,
Three-Legged Baces, Football, Back Eaces
and Bell Baea
MAKE THE DAI A TEEI JOLLT ONE
Yesterday the Daughters and Sons of St
George spent a really pleasant day at Boss
Grove, on the West Penn Bailroad. By a
chance, which may not have been a chance,
the day selected for the picnic happened to
be the anniversary of an event very note
worthy in English history. Yesterday,
across the Atlantic, the cannon boomed
from tower and bastion in honor of Queen
Victoria's fifty-second years as sovereign
of a mighty empire.
The English are. above all things, a na
tion of athletes. When the native Ameri
can goes out in the woods with Mrs. or more
often Miss Columbia, he takes his ease, and
goeth not in for games which may bring the
perspiration to his brow. If he dances a
little it is the utmost he will do, and the
rest of his outing is generally spent in soft
flirtation or softer slumber. But John Bull,
even when on American soil and under a
very hot American edition of the original
Old Sol, is not content with such gentle
dalliance. He wants a rollicking picnic,
such as he used to enjoy when, as an urchin,
he frequented West country "veasts" or
North country "fairs." Accordingly, yes
terday's fun at Boss' Grove was lively in
the extreme.
BE AC ENGLISH SPOBTS.
There were races of all sorts, games of all
sorts, dancing, too, and, above all, cricket
for what would be an Anglo-Saxon picnic
without its cricket matches?
The scene in the grove was a ptcturesque
and stirring one. Here were the relresh
ment tents, 'round which thirsty soals gath
ered like the proverbial flies 'round the
proverbial honey. Here the big dancing
pavilion echoed with the strains of the
Grand Army Orchestra, under Colonel
Hart's able conductorship, and re-echoed
with the tramp aud patter of scores
of feet. Here "merry-go-rounds" circled,
with their loads of cake-devouring, lemonade-imbibing
little ones; here the football
whirled in air; here lovers whispered under
the bending branches; here races were being
contested, and the oldest and newest of all
sports, undying cricket, iound many
votaries. Above all, the trees interlaced
their shielding branches, to save the damask
cheekB of these imported lasses from the
amorous sun's too frequent caresses.
The sports opened with a cricket match
between the Eureka Cricket Club and Alle
gheny City Lodge's first 11. Eureka won,
alter a pretty match, by 117 to 70. For the
Alleghenies, Hogg made top score; while
Crawtord, on behalf of Eureka, carried out
his bat for 34. Woods deserves especial no
tice in the Eureka 11. as he bowled seven
wickets, and nearly half his overs were
maidens. A 120-yards handicap, a girls'
skipping race, ana a three legged race were
some of the sports.
The old English "bell race" was also re
vived. This is a pastime in which the
racers are blindfolded and a bellman
turned loose. The sound ot the bell is fol
lowed, and the first to catch the ringer wins
the race. Quite a lot of fun was obtained
from the bell race, especially as it took
place in rough, uneven ground. The sack
race, too, was "just awfully jolly."
ON TOP ONCE MORE.
In the afternoon another cricket match
came off this time between Allegheny City
and Mt. Washington lodges. It proved a
victory tor the former team. Hogg again
distinguished himself, making top score
again for Allegheny. Boyce, on the Mt.
Washington team, bowled six wickets.
As dusk drew near; and the evening be
came cooler, a game of football was ini
tiated and continued with unflagging in
jury till the gloaming enwrapt both
players and ball. Then the dancing
saloon filled rapidly, and while the G.
A. B. Orchestra played waltz, polka
and quadrille, the young people had
a glorious time. Away in odd corners you
could hear "old boys" talking of "wrastlin "
and "quarter staff," and recalling the by
gone cricket heroes of Surrey, Yorkshire or
Notts, and white-haired "gammers" kept
pace with their "gaffers," in summoning up
these odd reminiscences. It was quaintly
lunny to hear these gay old dames speaking
of "veast" and "fair," of all the country
side beaus and the rare old English days.
There was one aged "maid of Kent," who,
under the influence of the scene,
sang in a sweet if quavering voice,
Ob, dearl what can tho matter be,
Johnny's, so long at the fair.
AlasI It Johnny had turned up from the
fair just then with that longed-tor "bunch
o' blue ribbon," he would have found, not
"bonny brown hair," but locks that were
both gray and sparse. No doubt, though,
the singer had found her "Johnny" long
since, and the blue ribbons were treasured
by children and grandchildren as precious
relics.
In good time, and in good order, the picnic
broke up, and the Daughters and Sons of
George-the-Dragon-Slaughterer hied them
back to humdrum work again after the
"veast" of Boss Grove.
