...speaking to rallies in Folkestone and Reading. In recent months he has packed halls, turned crowds away throughout England. His physical labors for the League are no fun. Mr. Elliott loathes trains, grimly smokes his pipe and speaks to no one while traveling. Insomniac even in his own bed, he sleeps little-save with sleeping powders-in hotels...
...Debucourt and Vernet were more delicate if less vigorous draftsmen, though they early showed a fondness for scatological as well as lubricous humor. To such a gross commentary as Rowlandson's The Arch Duchess Marie Louise going to have her Nap (showing the future Empress of France in bed with Napoleon), Satirist Carle Vernet was able to reply with an incomparably more subtle study called Les Anglais a Paris, three figures of a girl, a fat boy, and a military popinjay which still contain nearly all the French have to say about the English character...

The nurse lay rolled up in an eiderdown beside...
...farmers hold their crop in the barns, while the Trust offers bribe prices to growers who do not belong. When recalcitrant growers refuse to join the Association, they are warned. After two warnings, masked night riders drag them out of bed, force them to destroy their own plant beds. If they still play ball with the Trust, their barns are burned. When the Trust strikes back, 2,000 armed growers march into Bardsville, seize the telephone and telegraph offices, lock up police and firemen, burn the brand-new million-dollar Trust warehouses...
