clever sketch 81 d character il real life,
Jeremiah Carey BY name, who ia OIL biz
fortunes and miafoftunes, exhibited the pic
iuSe d happy end contested man.
Jerry's countenance was PlGinness, To-
The iulIest extent. Never mind, said
Jerry, 81 shall not be troubled BY the petit

ceptiOn; iOasmuch as young end rather

and intellectual worth, fell 10 love with

church where the union had just been per-
formed The vehicle upset, spilled the bride
