the point of the knife blade in the ball,
exclaimed; "TheY have shot you with
piece of a knife blade also!" Mr.
Knowles explained to him how the
piece of knife blade came there. The

ured and could be seen protruding.
How any man could live, shot as Mr..
Knowles was has always been a mys.
terry to us. Providence alone could
have saved him. Mr.. Knowles re-
covered from this wound in time to

in one of which he received a severe

life. This is only one instance of the

answer all the questions that are put to
him, and with favorable weather his
fine physique and large stock of good
nature may enable him to pull through
with the summer. The charge for
talking through the telephone is %

LUCKY TIM.

Tim Flanagan always lived quite high.
For mkt to the roof he had home;
laborin' man who kept q job
For Tim was niver a hand to roam.
Wan avening Tim was ploddin' home,
His legs wur heavy, his pockets lite;
SEE Tim to himself; The laborer's lot
I'm not regardin' with deite.
He slowly trudged along tho strate,
When down forninst him on the ground
He spied bundle nately tied.
1t wondered Tim what he had found;
He picked it up wild cautious hand
Begorral 1t might be dynamite!
But when he saw twas Bull Dog, thin
His heart went thumpin' wild delite.
Bedad, SEE Tim, it's the laborin' man
Is the lucky mortal after all
It's him as hes his eyes cast down
Picks dainties up the rich let fall
For if I'd had me wish this mite,
Twas Bull Dog that most desired;
IT'S Bull Dog fine cut gives delite
To man that's falin' wake and tired.
When dimes are scarce and Bull Dog gone
TITS thin the world gets lookin' blue;
But not rason for complaint
Has a man wild Bull Dog as his chew.
And Tim was right beyond doubt
For chewers now on every hand
Agree with Tim that Bull Dog is
The finest chew in all the land.
