purity and man sinks beneath the
wave of dispair without star to
guide his life into channel of safety.

Glendale and Aberdeen papers

are not aware that there is a blind |
pig in their towns. We do not know
that there are any in this town, but
it is surprising how often some of
our buffers put on their skates and
proceed to get into condition pecu-
