that the thought of losing her was 50
maddeninR that you had been indulg-

the horse reporter assumed q BENJAMIN

II will act on your suggestions" said
the visitor. taking up his kiss me quick

friendly way over the high water COLLAR.
"How much dissipation do you think /
ought to indulge in to produce the de-
sired effect?"
"Well," replied the horse reporter,
II ahould imagine that If you we're to
play about two games Of billiards, and
drink very strong lemonade. it would
constitute for you the widest kind Of
