as a haystack. A bystander said that
reminded him Of boiler he once saw
/ being made. 1t was so large she work
men could not hear the sound of each
others hammers. The cabbage liar
asked the boiler liar what on earth

never will be heard to blow again.
Two young women and their escorts

The editor of Wilton Sentinel has in

sidered the fastest "chainless' bicycle
| in the world, which is also possessed
of many other desirable new and novel
| features, and he is applying for
letters patent on same. Prominent
