6An English newspaper tells of
circumlocution in the British war office,
It says there is a tradition, said to be
histuaical. concerning a clerk in the

expense of a caipentar, he applied for
a hammer and nails with which to
drive it in himself. Six months
passed before he reenved any an
swer to his request, and he had long
aero set up a peg of his owi., when a
special messenger of 'be power arriv-

to him at list through the medium of
numberless requi-itions and authoriza

There is no man more independent
than the owner of a well cultivated
f inn. He is less beholden to popular
ceniiments than people of any other

before him without consulting the opin

one. There is a constant market for
all the surplus he can produce, and he
obtains a for a current price, without
