An Empty Barrel.

When Mr.. Robert Thatcher the dairy
man, went to draw molasses out OF the
molasse sbarrel in his cellar Wednesday he
found the contents of the barrel spread up
on the floor. Mr.. Thatcher's first thought
was that thieves had been in the cellar
during the night and, after filling their
buckets with molasses, had left the rest
run out on the floor. But this thought
was dispelled in his mind when he found
that nothing was missing from the cellar,
and he came to the conclusion that he or
the one that had last drawn the molasses
out of the barrel had forgotten to replace
the stopper.

1ARCH AND The LION.
Something Better Than the Old Saw

The saying about the lion and the lamb
in March often proves false, but there is
another and better one which is literally
true. When March comes in and finds
you taking Hoods Sarsaparlla to purify,
enrich and vitalze your blood, you may
expect, when it goes out, that it will leave
you free from that tired feeling ard with
none of the boils, pimples and eruptions
which manifest themselves because of
impure blood in the spring. If you have
not already begun taking Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla for your spring medicine, we advise
you to begin today. We assure youit will
make you feel better all through the COM
ng summer.
