In an evil hour he fell in with some Of
his old friends who told him that it was
unnecessary to waste his money on the
physicians, Us q good dose of whisky
would knock the rdbiea higher than Gil.
deroys kite, The prescription, somehow
or other, fell In with the tastes Of thegOod
old rustic and lie declared that the advice
was worth acting upon. lie accordingly
made bee line for the nearest "a
loon and gave an order for pint
Of the hottest liquor in the shop. lie
told the bar.keeper that he had "been bit.
ten by a mad dog, and wanted II for med.
icine." The bar man winked at him and
replied that "thats what ais the most Of
'em; mad dogs must be thick in your re.
giOn." But these facetious remarks did
not prevent his filling the hottie to the
cork, and charging a good, round price
for Il in the bargain.
The old chap took the precious med.
icine and went of somewhere so as to sit
down and let the two pOisons fight II out
-rot.gnt against virus. lie kept pOking
the antidote in rather literally, and by
dark was In condition TO lei the old
wound rip and do its best against him.

OK Wednesday evening a queer case oil
mistaken identity came up before Justice
Belville. Several persons had been i'm.
plicated In row the previous night, and
one Of them gave the name Of another
persop as his own. The next day war.
rants we're issued for the arrest Of The en-.
tire party, and the gentleman whose name
had been used without his knowledge OF
consent was one Of the defendants. When
he came up for trial the witnesses all
Swote positively that lie was not the man,
and he was accordingly discharged. The
result was, Of course, not unexpected to
him, az al the time Of the melee In which
he was supposed to have taken a prom.
inent part, he was doubtless cosy and
snug In he'd.
