things. We are fond of diflident young men. So
we comply with the above modest request. But
the favor is entirely too slight. We understand

Law of Contracts. Could he not enclose" that
also and ask rs to "insert as editorial," We
should like TO do 80 and il might help the sale.
Evidently difidence is Mr.. Jocko's greatest fault.
Perhaps we have said enough, however, for him
to take the hint, so let rs not be greedy; but
wait. We hope our patrons viii be satisfied for
the present with what we give below.

Dear Ssr-Owing to the protracted drouth-the
rum having been exhausted now since three
weeks-we we're all suffering excessively from hot
coppers. Your Extinguisher by its peculiar pro-
perties enabled us to make every gallon Of grog
into three, which has acted like q charm on the
watch, keeping three sheets in the wind without
the aid Of warming-pan to air them with. Send
me four dozen by express, O. o. ID. fresh pre-
ferred, and potatoes to make the balls with.
Sausage balls will answer, II the Goldfish Is incon-
yenient--or smells too bad for shipment.)
Respectfully,

Mr.. Jpcko-I should be pleased to have you
send eione Of your Fire Extinguishers on trial.
II like Il think my sister-in law may be induced
to try one also. Her servant is very extavagant,
and as you perhaps know GOOD Is a considerable
item. One of my friend{js using the Extin-
guisher iand likes Il very rch. 1t has never
failed I'd Pot out the fire b once and that was
through carelessness in the druggist who put up
the prescription. Druggists are so very careless
at pres{nt. Please send full directions. Also
whetberi coal fires make any difference as the
summer Is coming on and we find it cheaper to
burn coal in the kitchen.
Very respectfully.
