 knew a widUwer once of that kind who locked up his shop one day and be fore tratime had proposed to seven widows. besides stopping an hour to bait his horse hv the roadside.

 He Was self made man, so far as his teeth Were concerned. and drew . small pension on account of q slight hernia of the durA mater.

 asked what the matter was and all th3t, for the passengers were looking at me with the snmo degree of amazement that the Rev. Lyman Abbott would ere ate at cannibal function.
 The brakeman only handed me my little Dolly Warden valise and pointed uI at the sign:
