wILBoR's CoMrorND op PURE Cop LIVER OIL
AND LIME.

The advantage of this compound over the plain
Oh is that the nauseatIng taste Of the Oh Is en-
tirely removed, and the whole rendered entirely
palatable. The offensive taste of the OIL has
long acted as prominent objection to its use; but
In this form the trouble is entirely obylated. A
host Of certificates might be given here to testify
to the excellence and success of "Wiibor's Cod
Liver oil and Lime" But the fact that 1t is
regularly prescribed by the medical faculty Is
sufficient. For sale by A. b. Wilbor, Chemist,

mr.. Otu,s Adventure.

The wav in which / understand it
was that young OFT suspected the
girl to whom he was engaged of re-
ceiving attentions from another
young man, and he went around to
McGlue's house to look in at the
back window in order to observe
the pair upon a certain evening.
ANY way, it was a dark night, and
while OFT was cropping his way
through the yard he stepped on a
loose board of some kind close by the
pump, and instantly he fell into a
hole. He clutched at the boards as
he went down and managed to catch
hold of them, whereupon he hung on
like grim death.
Mr.. OFT knew that he had fallen
into the cistern. He didn't know
how deep it was or how much wa
ter there was in it; but he felt GER
tain that there was enough to drown
him if he should fall. He didn't like
to call for help because that would
expose him; so he struggled desper-
ately to Chamber out, but without
avail. The more he kicked, and
pulled, and jerked, the weaker he
became. He felt that he could not
hold on much longer. So he yelled
for help. 1t seemed an awful while
before any body came. His fingers
slipped a little. He knew that his
hour had come, for he couldn't swim.
His mind ran over all the sins of his
life. He prayed a little and then he
shouted again. Just as he was
about to give up and drop, McGlue's
back door opened and several people

"Here, Koppelll" roared Mr.. Mu-
eller, "just hold these two fools for
a moment"
Herr Koppell, backed by a stall
Wart super, came forward and secur-
ed the ladies, who were screaming
bad names to one another, and Mu-
eiler with two strides was upon the
Maestro, who shrieked frantically
and tried to run. But it was of no
avail; the German paw was upon
him, and in another moment he was
across a large knee taking punish
ment in the way be was accustomed
to in early childhood. Screams did
him no good; the spanks fell thick
and fast as his own "h's."
"Stop it, stop itl' yelled the Macs
tro, kicking his little legs; "cawn't
you be satisfied with givin' bOokeys
to me wife 'ithout a hidin' me,
blawst you? Oh, 'ang it Murskey,
cawn't you 'elp your 'usband ?"
The whole affair wound up by the
Maestro being led out sobbing by a
lady friend, and Mile. shortly Joined
him in a close carriage with her
head bound-up.

Saturday last there was to have
been an operatic rehearsal. Madame
di Murska was there on time for a
wonder, and so was her eleventh
husband, Maestro Strauss lila, nee
John Hill. Mr.. Mueller, the tall,
handsome baritone and husband of
Madame Fabbri, was there also. 1t
was noticed that little Hill twirled
his curling mustache fiercely, and
tugged at his waste of side whlskers
every time the baritone strobe near
him, and several times he was heard
to mutter "blawsted big beast" un-
der his breath. Mile. di Murska,
with a very beautiful boquet in her
fair hand, was shaking out the high
notes of a duet with Mr.. Mueller,
with Hill scowling in the back
ground, when Madame Fabbri ell
ters. She pursed her lips as her
husband placed his hand on his
heart, and, throwing back his hand,
beloved out, that never, never,
would that organ beat for other than
the lady who then faced him. Di
Murska warbled that if he ever did
prove untrue he would shortly have
the duty of planting tea roses on her
grave. AS she sang this the besuti
full creature extended her lovely
arms. The Maestro groaned and
tugged viciously at the hair on his
face.
Madame Fabbri saw the boquet,
and with one curling shrek rushed
forward and sank her fingers into Di
Murska's hair and began kicking
furiously at her shins.
"Mine Gott in Himmell!'' cried
Mueller, aghast, and falling into his
native tongue.
"Blawst me heyes, you know -
gasped Hill.
Mr.. Mueller tore the screaming
ladies apart, holding them at arms
length.
''Oly Moses! by Jove!" continued
Hill, with his eyes sticking out tn
that extent that you might have
knocked them off with stick.
"What's that, you little cad?" de
manded Mueller.
"Blawst me, you know" muttered
the little being.
Mr.. Mueller evidently did not
catch the meaning of the Maestro's
feeble remark, for he at once let go
of the ladies, and clutching Hill by
the throat, shook him till the but
tons began to fly, and the little man
was purple In the face.
"Let go, you 'orrid giantl" CUR.
gIed the Maestro, and Mueller did,
for the prima donnas were at il
again for the second round. Di
Murska was clawing the features of
Madame Fabbri, who was attempt
ing TO square off in the style OF
which her husband is master. She
had Just got in good one on Di
Murska's glorious left peeper, and
had drawn blood from her divine
cheek with her right bunch of fives,
aided by a diamond cluster ring,
