other hygienic contrivance for the wo-
man who is fearful that constant USE of
the round garter will bestow on her a red
nose in later life, is an attachment for
making fast the top of the stocking to
the bottom of the drawer leg. Two but
tons on the drawers and two loops on
the stockings make neat attachment

There is certainly no lack OF character

predecessors of other seasons is chiefly
the daring combinations of materials and

they all agreed to stand by the prize

So better take and give the stand little

club that they better save their powder
for more noble cause.
The next matter to claim the clubs

No human being is responsible for

reservoir liquid to the city. The mud
may have found its way there to escape
being used for earth works at the out
break of the war but it is there, how
who put it there, or how to rid ourselves
of it, we make no attempt to answer.
While we dislike to DE harsh TO any
one, yet there are some people in this
city who ought to be enjoined from
breathing if they are forever to wear a
kickers badge and find fault with every
good measure that finds its way into the
city. One of the greatest obstacles in
the past has been the continuous rag
chewing along our streets. once let it

injunctions.

be out of debt. But who wishes to do
any such thing?
