whom will be faniliarly recognized in
the following extract from some inn
promtu verses on that occasion by one
who was there
There was "1'cddy" the man,
And Charlie "Beauhick'
With odd Roxy Ann,
Swinging Lazarus" and "Dick."
Next came "Aunt Mary Ann"
And SANDY Ridge John,
Who danced to the tune
OF "Mollie Mondon."
Old "Roxy" she fitted
And "Teddy" hoe-downed,
While Big Sandy Ridge
Swung Lazarus" aroand.
Twas first couple forward,
Then promenade all,
Then next ladies' change
Was performed at the call.
They coquettcd and danced
Here and there with dash,
Until all ended at once
In the kettle kersplash.

dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains Of WEAKNESS

feet are cold or burning. and he COM

he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him. yet he can scarcely
