PROMPTLY MET.
The Boisterous Bully Was Gently
But Effectively Called.
Down.

There was big coarse voiced fellow, with
red face, a superiority of beef about his head
and an Unsuitable desire to hear himself tax
that was nicely come up with in barber
shop the other day. He was fiashily dressed
and seemed aggrieved that every man en-
ployed in the place did not rush to help him
get ready for the chair. He had assistance
in having himself brought down to the condi
ton for being shaved, declining to handle
anything from his hat to his collar and neck
tie.
While being lathered and shaved he told
boisterously and profanely about the de-
generacy of the times. Men who had to earn
their living didn't know their places and
acted as though they were just as good as
those who hired them. The greatest mis-
take this country had ever made was when
it did away with slavery instead of extend
ing it to every state and territory IN the
union.
After he had insisted upon half dozen
additions and extra touches from the knight
of the strop the big man stepped from the
chair and produced fat pocketbook, while
still holding forth in his offensive vein.

There is more Catarrh in this section of

supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,

stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
