contents few days later his molars came

would forward it to the Company he should
receive present in return. Mr.. Montague
mailed the slip as directed, ".just for the

nothing more of it. He was agreeably sur

BILE BEANS. What funny name for a med
icine! Nevertheless it is very significant as ap-
piled to the article. Bile according to Webster
is "a yellowish, bitter, viscid. nausceous fluid,
secreted by the liver" Whenever the liver does
not act properly this fluid is retained in the
blood and poisons the whole system, and sal
lowness and misery is the result. SMITHS BILE
BEANS is a sure cure for biliousness and liver
complaint. Price % cents per bottle.

A DOUBLE-BARRE1LEO CHANCE

She was widows only child,
Bright as a summers day;
Fresh as the breath of roses wild,
Beautiful, winsome, gay.
He loved the very air she breathed,
Worshipped her tresses brown,
Happy when smiles her red lips wreathed,
Miserable when she frowned.
'sLove, am lonely" he softly said,
'sTired of living aloue;''
Gently he bent over the graceful head,
Love was in every tone.
"Darling, want for my own dear wife
One whom love most dear;
Never a sorrow shall darken her life.
Never shadow appear.
'sTell me, whom do mean?'' he said
Shyly she murmurs 'sAh!
"HoW should know" her cheeks grew red
why don't You ask mamma?''
From the Roxbury Advocate.
