A knock down proof of the eff
cacy of the faith cure is given in
a neighboring paper which, omit
ting names, says that the wife of

instant relief. The next morning it
was discovered that he had gotten a
bottle of bluing instead of liniment.

cigar store and stealing cigars and
tobacco. They were taken before the
mayor who listened to their story and
then sent for their mother. When

procured a rawhide and refereed the
game. The mother was strong and ap-
piled the whip with vim and it wasn't

promise to be good. 1t was the second
time they had been arrested for the
same offense.
One of those smart practical Jokers
of the'loaded-gun, rock-the-boat type
