Gated Immediately beneath the su-

cally destroying the great collection
Of law reference books. The library
contains about 90. 1000 volumes and was
used not only by the justices Of the su.
preme court, but by the members OF

fore the supreme court. The most
serious damage, in the opinion Of the

"The excellence of Pabst Malt Extract
Is not unknown to me, as have used it
professionally for years, always with the
most satisfactory results, For mothers
nursing their children and for general
debility from any cause, l regard it as
of especial value, as it combines both
tonic and nutrient properties, which
make it truly the Best Tonic"
II recently prescribed Pabst Malt Ex-
tract, The BEST" Tonic, to three of my
patients, all of whom were ladies, and
all of whom were suffering from dyspep-
sia and its consequences, and in all these
cases it acted like charm. Two of
them bought more of the tonic, and
continued to take it, until now they tell
me they can eat anything, and one of
them added everything without the
slightest inconvenience. They have cer-
tainly improved wonderfully in weight
and strength. / have prescribed your
"Best" Tonic great number of times.
1t is one of the best, if not the very best,
of its kind"

When the clouds so thickly lower
That 1t is beyond the power
OF my light to penetrate,
or thy light then, why so charry:
Man, indeed, must be most wary,
Who about the street wouldm owe.
Does economy strict compel thee
To refuse thine aid, pray tell me,
In my time of need?
Now, don't deem me criticizing,
am just --- solilOquizing,
Wondering what it means;
For thought thy mission here,
To dispel the darkness drear,
But must be wrong,
For you fail to do the trick,
When your light goes out so quick,
On these cloudy nights.
1t there be an explanation
OF the curious situation,
I'll be glad to hear.
