"STANLEY."

y- The Hawkos % Herald is responsible for the following;-As Henry ' r ; M. 'Stanley is coming to the front y : again in our cable news, and as many ;:' : people think of him as a Yankee, it : may bo pointed out that ho was born ■'.;; in Wales of very poor parents in 1840. v"At three years of ago tho littlo fellow !
