He Finally Reached School.

An amusing story is told of a pretty
little Stockton schoolboy who makes it
the rule to get to school rather late in the
morning. The kind teacher, who had too
much regard for the little fellow to pun
ish him harshly, resorted to sharp lee
lures for his hardness, but the whole
some advice did no good, 30 she wrote a
note to the little scholars mother, tell
ing of his shortcomings, and asking the
parent if he could not be made to come
to school early, as he was always tardy.
The next day the mother had her son
up bright and early and started him to
school early enough for him to make the
round trip before school time. When the
luncheon hour came the little chap ar
rived home happy and very hungry. But
the first question put to him by his fond
mother was: my son did you get to
school in time this m~orning?' "Oh, yes,
ma" said he, Il got to school early to-
day. got there in time for recess!"-

Twelve Years of Established Merit
NOTE OF
I'D II PUBLIC:
DWIGHT, ILL.,, April 80, 1892.


DWIGHT, ILL.,, April 80, 1892.
As Il matter of justice to ourselves and to
She reputation of DIR. Leslie E. Keeley's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies, for the
cure Of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we warn
The public that these remedies are used by
n institution or sanitarinm in the United
states except those established by ouI COM
pany under the uniform name of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished in various parts of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is adj
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all to examine well
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Gold" or similar titles.
The newspapers do not discriminate suffi-
GENTLY to NOW that they are imitators, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter OF
much concern to us, hence this warning.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE E. KELLEY co.
Curtis j. Judd, Sec'y and Treas.
The Kelley institute at Greensboro, \. c.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-
sensations that there is IN the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same as, the
Kelley Double Chloride of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that if it be hurtful to as it will prove more
disastrous to those who aredeceived thereby,
we sound this warming.

details are still to be arranged Another
