All the phases az life arc depicted in the
above subjects which, taken at random from
a page ot one ~ the leading papers Of the

that the pictures exposed 10 view are no

Divorce obtained without publicity in far
away North Dakota, as long ago as last MAY,
has Just been discovered as n marriage cere-
mony Of last Saturday was made public. Still
the divorce mill grinds. IL would lac interest
ing TO know how many secret divorces are in
the possession OF New England people while
their better halves are in Ignorance.E An I'M

And so we might comment on every subject
mentioned, as noted at the commencement of
this brief Tea Table talk. You can, II you

will all be over by Thanksgiving, ana the
steamine turkey and "~fixlns" will ameliorate
the feelings of opposing candidates. In the
meantime. remember that IL does no good TO
get excited, but that IL is better to keep as

the blinuing glare Of a lantern in front OF him.
then you caunot expect too much all at
once. so the lantern will serve TO stave up
bicycles and bioyclists.

at n minimum price is what does the business.
