The indianapolis physician who has
been playing FRANKS upon his friends by
slippinC the corpse of an intent into

were put in, OF course-what nice church
has no memorial windows? Some OF
those memorial windows were beautiful,

from the windows. PERHAPS those per-
sons will not go TO heaven If those objec-
ticnable persons are there.-Rushville
