Now the :" Honorable" must be careful
or we will reach him through our long
range camera Of course, we never
like to take the advantage of a man in
this way, and hope there never will be
any necessity for us to do 30.

The libernia boys have had their
stove put up for the winter, and they
assemble in the engine house during

an evening.
The chestnut and shellbnrk crop
surpasscs any that we have had in the

manned the sale owner of this mundane
ball, and no woman had come upon the
scene to nag him on How awfully
brief his full dress suit would appear,
and no one to tell him Of the beautiful
brown tan the sun was putting on his
spine and suggest that he get measur-

par OF new cabbage leaf trousers. He
would still be roaming up aud down
some little creek III Africa, searching

optics, and the moss would have been
as thick on his back as it is on tho
