Mr.. EDIToR:--Allow me to say
to the Democratic voters of your
county through your paper: 1
have been denied the privilege of
n convass in the solicitoriaI race
by reason of poisoned foot. |
attended only three meetings in
Chester county, near home, and
found it aggravated the trouble
every time.
1t is doubtful if 1t is safe for
me during these hot days to al .
tempt attendance at any more of
the meetings. AS soon however,
as my physician thinks il is safe
for me to travel l will start again.
| think it due the voters and
myself to state this and ask my
friends to take care of whatever
interest / NAV have in the canvass.
Yours very truly,

A shepherd of the people, who is
called the Pie King of New England,
has founded a sanitary pie, "made
under sanitary conditions and war;
ranted to be perfectly digestiblc. 4"
Such pic may win the favor of weak
lings and valetudinarians, but the born
eater of pie, the allotted bondsman of
pie, will scarcely condescend to the lev
el of perfectly digestible pie. The little
touch of doubt and danger is the ro.
mantle charm Of pie. The timid soul
may weigh out his diet and feel his
pulse when he consumes a cracker.
The nature worthy of great pie is
above such scruples. A pie of genius
is worth twinge or two. From the
pie founder the brave expect not safety
but skill
