pretty hot fire several times and have
lost in killed and wounded about 100

several days last week at Chicago and
saw DR.. Harris, that the DIR. had finished
his studies there and would spend a

can cut a man all to pieces aud then
sew him up again as good as ever, and
proposes to use "Muggins" as an expert
ment as soon as he gets home. Mrs.
Harris accompanies the DR.. to New
York.

ed during the days of privilege. The
warmth in our own hearts will depend
upon our power to warm those of others.
