DELICATE POSITION .

A man was accused of having stolen
q pair of pantaloons. There were sew
eral witnesses, but the eYideuce was
rather meager, and 90 the accused was
acquitted. He was told that he could
60, but he remained. His lawyer, to
whose successful defense he mainly
owed his liberty, limited that he was
free to depart, but still he stayed.
There being no more cases to be heard
the court room was getting empty,
when the lawyer, getting impatient,
asked with some asperity, why he
didn't 60. The innocent, injured man
whispered In his ear;
'The fact is, sir, didn't like to move
until the witnesses had left the court.
Why SOP
Because, sir, have got on the
pantaloons that stole.

THIS standard article is COM
pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and MAX
ing the hair grow thick and strong.
AS dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.
A. A. Hayes, M. D., State As
saver of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for it's intended purposes"

Ger says; This morning the quiet

cry Of fire, and it was soon known
that the town was in danger Of
being totally destroyed by tile
element. Children playing with
matches in tho stable situated on
the premises ofa widow lady nam
ed Scott, set fire to the building,
and the flames communicating to
the two-story dwelling house and
several outbuiltlings, resulted in
their destruction, together with tho
household furniture, Atone time

fire, 50 intense was Tho heat. This
.
state Of affairs was alarming and
men women and children went TO
work carrying water, and it was
only By tic greatest exertions on
tho part Of the populacoi that u
greater destruction'o Of property was
prevented. Tho loss sustained,
including the damage done to
buildings partially bnrned, will
aggregate about $1,000.
