constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

roots Of his hair before he answered.:

The corner gang roared, and Jim
Smith. the first to recover from the
general spasm Of merriment, asked the
greatly embarrassed Mr.. Deery, honor
bright now, if he was not going over
to Oliver street to call on the Misses
Wilson.
The questioned one felt as keenly as
any honor jealous knight of old could
have felt it that this was an outra-
geous treSpass on forbidden ground
but he remembered his mothers pre-
cepts, and he replied, scornng alike
evasion and resentment:
II am going to cali on Miss Mary

The laughter had hardly had time TO
begin again when Bill Evans raised his
hand to check It, His face was very
grave.
