How Benevolent Gentleman Bought Tickle

How Benevolent Gentleman Bought Ticket
fora Firemans Bali.
The hreman's ball came off before the
beginning OF Lent, but it may be for
moment recalled, says a Boston CORES
pondeut of the Providence journal, for
the sake OF an incident connected there
with, which was related at a Lenten din
ner party the other evening. A gentle
man who lives at Cambridge, and who
bears one OF the names beat known in
American letters, was asked 20 buy tic
ket To the ball and good naturedly did 80.
lie then considered what 90 do with 10,
and decided 20 give 10 to one of his t~o
man-servants. This, however did not
end the matter. as ne reflected iu his
kindly old soul that he could not make
an iuyidieus distinction between the
faithful pair who miuister unto his conn.,
fort. II did occur 10 him, however, that
this difficulty cou be surmounted by
the purchase of second ticket, aud on
this he resolved. lie vas in doubt whore
TO apply for ticket, and sought infor-

the corner.

SO the kind old gentleman walked down
To the engine house TO purchase second

mildly, and perhaps, in view of the alarm

The situation was too ludrioous to be
treated seriously even by men who had
been roused from their sleep by "a false

allowed To purchase his extra ticket and
depart IN peace, albeit amid the hardly
suppressed smiles OF the iiremeu.

DIR. Davis Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry
and Tar has made a name and record in the
past fifty years that is enviable. Thousands
of people having tried it for coughs, colds, ca
tarrh, asthma, bronchitis and consumption
know its value, and would not be without It.
Why Because it cures where other remedies
fail. We recommend it for children subject
to cronp and whooping-cough. II will give
relief and cause speedy cure. The medical
profession recognize it, and physicians fire.
auently prescribe it for lung troubles. These
facts have pushed Davis Wild Cherry and
Tar to the front rank. 1t is the best remedy
for coughs, colds. all throat and lung aztec
tions, and no family should be without it. One
dollar bottles hold two and @ half times as
| much as a SOC. bottle.
