liquid for the determination of bugs.
"And how do you use it2' inquired
the man, after he had boughtit. "Ketch
te pug, un drop Won leetle drop into his
mout," answered the peddler. "The
deuce you do !" exclaimed the pur-
chaser. "I could kill il in half the

Another old citizen of Illinois is
prematurely no more. "Iu life's great
game of poker" as the aged minister
tearfully observe in his funeral dis
course, che has thrown down his hand,

Piles contain a larger amount OF phos-
phorus or brain food thon any other

ease you and put them in your place.
Will you speak II so, name the time

the Bastile Of Lyons, France. You are

nent. Act quickly, for desperate men
sometimes resort 90 poison" There is
, hint of happy relief in the closing sen

will hail with pmans OF joy, and IL is to
be hoped that Tweed will not heed the
Injunction 20 "act quickly"
