EARLY IN THE GAME.

bride),
"My pocket has been picked!" Without

INJURED;
But from his pocket took, nor even sighed.
A crisp new bill and asked: What was
it. dear?
A ten or a twenty? See. have 1t here"
(She was bride.)
1T was but ten" with a soft blush she
cried,
But looked SO sweet that joyfully he
laid
The twenty in her hand and thought he
paid
Small price for her quick kiss; she was
his bride.
Then turned. but low whisper met his
ear:
'Perhaps. perhaps I ought to tell you,
dear"
(She was a bride.)
Her voice sank lower still: she family
sighed
And sought for words she could not seem
to find.
At last: "'Twas I who picked it, do you
mind?'
OF course he didn't mind (she was his
bride),
But thought It such pretty little trick
He laid down twenty more for her 70
pick.

A WOBBLE SONG.

A maiden fair. with tresses rare,
Wobble. wobble, wobble,
Would often steal away on her wheel.
Wobble, wobble. wobble,
And she wobbled left and she wobbled
right,
Wobble, wobble. wobble.
But she wobbled ahead with all her might
And she went wobblind on.
She met man who stopped to gaze,
Wobble, wObble, wobble,
And he stood and watched her devious
ways,
Wobble, wObble, wobble,
In amazement he was completely lost,
Wobble. wobble. wobble.
And he found that his eyes became hope
lessly crossed,
As he watched her wobble on.

health. He has made the following state
ment:
when came out Of the army was
. wreck from fever and ague and rheu-
matism, so that only weighed ninety
pounds. At that time I lived in New
Hampshire and was successfully treated
by DR.. Dixi Crosby's nephew. But dur
ing all these years i never regained
rugged health, and some months ago was
in a very serious condition. My liver was
bloated so that it protruded from my
side. and my eyes were affected 50 that
q blur would come over my sight. had
also severe headaches, and indigestion,
with gulping up of wind from my stom-
ach. All the food ate, no matter what
it was. seemed to lie upon my stomach in
solid lump. had at this time been laid
UP with the grip for two weeks.
"As had known the Crosby doctors,
decided to take Puritana, and my wife,
who was troubled with indigestion, took
1t with me. The result has been all that
we could ask. am fifty per cent. better:
in fact, better than have been in five
years. The swelling Of my liver has en-
tirely gone; I have no more indigestion
or headaches, ana my sight is very much
improved. The rheumatism which laid
me UP all last winter has left me since
began taking Puritana. I have also
recommended Puritana to Others, who
report great benefit from its use, and I
shall continue to recommend 1t because
know from these tests how much good
It will do. Puritana has saved me from
more suffering than can tell.

The Texas Good For Nothing.

Washington, November 25.-It is
learned that without extensive altera-
lions it Ia very doubtful whether the
Texas can be again ordered to sea. II Is
understood that evidence was adduced to
show that 81 of her compartments leaked
when the engine room was flooded and
that leak sprung in any one Of them
at sea would have surely caused the loss
of the ship. Not only we're all the alleged
water tight doors found TO be loose, but
in the opinion of at least one member of
the court, appointed to investigate tho
matter, the whole bulk head system is
utterly useless.
