Next Thursday is the birthday of the
Lnited States of America. If we were
on the editorial staff of the New York

paper published in the wilds of Alaska,
we will merely make a few remarks

it, so he tried it —and saw. We’ve been
taking care of our own affairs ever since
and doing it so well that whenever £u
