Being not daunted he returned and got another supply of the same ma- terial, arriving home also near midnight. minus his hat. having come in contact with some unseen obstacle, probably.

He required less sleep than bird, and could see as well by night as day 8 hundred miles around him He had horn called the Giallar horn, which could be heard throus bout the universe.

 ROXBURY.
HOW Is THIS ?

It is a curious fact that in a no license town like Roxbury that there are those that stoop so low as to sell cider to the unfortunate ones that have an appetite formed for strong drink, thereby getting few paltry dollars and taking bread out of children's mouths and making un- happy families and a rendezvous for such to gather and spend their time while they ought to be at home. There ought to be strict law against cider selling in any form.
