THE PASSING OF BoAH.

And II came to pass that after four
years were expired. at the time that
Kings go out to battle in the land Of
the Amman Rekahns, that Boah the
Gaddite, the son of Agun, rode to and
fro in the chariots of the Smashup.
Waydown 4 Breakneck, and spake
unto all men, and sat in the seat of the
scornful, and got in the way Of the
sinner.
For all the sons of men feared him
and fed before his face; for the staff OF
his tongue was as the belt of fly
wheel, and he smote all the coasts of
Amman Rekah with an eight-day chin
which he kept by him.
And IL was so that about the tenth
day Of the month of Ralliz, after the
beginning of the feast of Hoo-Raw,
that Boah the Gaddite went into the
chariot OF the Smo-kahs, as thou
comest TO the fords of Har Lem, by
way of Al-Bani, which is, by interpre-
tation, Pie.
And Boah, the son OF Agun, arose in
the chariot, and spake in loud voice,
saying;
Hear ye me, men OF Amman Rekah,
and all who dwell in the tents Of
Grovah, and ye sons of Benjamin, and
all We who dwell by the water Brooks
of Prohi-Bishon; go to, let us take q
vote"
And certain sons of Belial Knocked
him and said: ''Nay, but rather let III
take a drink"
But Boah, the son OF Agun, would
not hoarken unto them, but spake al
the more vehemently, and cried
NAY. but | will take VOTE

Proof Better Than Assertion

With such proof as the following letter
from W. II. Dean, Of No. 2S Seventh street,
New York, 1t is not necessary to make the
bare assertion that ALLcocK's Porous
PLAsTERs cure lumbago. Mr.. Dean says;
Some ten days ago | was taken with q
very violent pain in the small Of my back,
1t was SO severe that l could hardly
breathe; every movement caused great
agony. finally found out it was lumbago.
Being entirely helpless, a friend sent to a
druggist and got two ALLcocK's PoRous
PLAsTERs; these were well warmed and
applied to my back, one above the other.
In half an hour, to my great delight and
surprise, found the pain began to abate.
In two hours l was able to walk out and
attend to my business the pain being al
most gone. Next day was all right but
continued wearing the plasters for q week.

small boys, followed by a lox wagon
that are loaded with rockets, that are

little boats filed with dainty child an

men. But the greatest attraction to
these simple-minded people is the BE

Lady rides. Our Lady is n figure about
twelve inches in height, wearing n white
satin cape embroidered with gold and "A

long ropes are attached, and five hun

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made when
DR.. Sherman named his great remedy
Prickly Ash BITTERs; bat 1t is presumed
that at that time all remedies for the blood,
etc, were called Bitters. Had he called ii
Prickly Ash Regulator" Curative" or
almost anything but Bittsrs, it undoubtedly
would have superseded all other prepara-
tons OF similar character. The name Bit
