i think this dead party can carry the
Eighth Congressional District. Like the

I'll tell you one. A few years ago there
used tosbe fellow confined in the Hospi-

iously believed himself to be dead. Act
Ing on this faith. he used to lie extended
andsrigid ION his bed, his arms folded
across nisibreast and his eyes shut tightly.

his alteration went up to this youth and
inquired kindly: ssrn. M .5siosar 20

byterian Mission Church. The company
then proceeded to do justice to the sump-
tuous repasI as gotten up in Wieman's and
Shaffer's best style, and if we are judge
OF such matters, we should say the eatables
were appreciated. aoizs9lq'l % COZ g sesH'
