right to hold the Office of mayor said
that there was not the least doubt of

To-day Uncle Smiley is as hale and
hearty asany man could wish. The fire
has returned to his eye and the spring
to his step. He has contracted a
habit of waving his hand towards the
sideboard, whereon Johann Hoff's is
ever visible, and announcing his firm
intention of living for fifty years to
come. 1t seems quite probable that
he will do so.
Of course, Smiley Radwing would
not have 1t otherwise. He has deep
feeling of affection for Uncle Smiley.
But neutrality-suspicious. the tall, bony
maiden, perhaps the reaction from the
nervous tension produced by Uncle
Snidley's impending demise-has rem
dered him irritable and melancholy.
] called it in the beginning disguised
disappointment. Perhaps it is that.
He obtained the identical newspaper
which contained the fateful advertise
ment-obtained it under a shallow
pretense of wishing to preserve it
and tore it viciously into the most
minute fragments. He has taken
guilty to signing his name S. Wad-
1ington Radwing. His irritation Is
not more than natural perhaps. l am
sure he will see the day when he will
bless Johann Hoff's fervently, for
Uncle Snidley's commercial nerve 10
stronger than it ever was before and,
according to excellent authority, is
doubling his fortune every two years.

A collision between a bicycle and a
double tsam occurred Tuesday evening
near the watering trough, foot OF Saun-
ders street. The team was being driven
along the avenue in the direction of Port
land and the bicyclist was going in the
opposite direction. The exact cause Of
the accident could not be learned, hut 1t
is supposed to have been caused by the
darkness and coDse quent inability of the
parties to see each other. Yha forward
wheel of the bicycle was badly damaged
and the wider was thrown to the ground.
The young man was not injured beyond
few scratches and bruises.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-

world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought OF using anything else for
Indigestion or Biiiousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard OF Appen-

clean out the system and stop fermen-

action Of the liver. stimulate the nervous
