A teaspOonful of the stuff would swell

was delighted with the desiccated egg

sent to him so that he might try 1t or

that it should be tried oa the dog. 1t

He licked up the powder, an amount Of

swallowed nearly a gallon OF water to

Bryanites seem justified in declining
to affiliate with the Parker Cleveland
party While Mr.. Cleveland is not the
Democratic candidate, he is the great
est gun in the party. What he says is
a sure indication Of the sentiments Of
eastern Democrats-and they are now
firmly in the saddle. Mr.. Cleveland
solemnly rejoices over the defeat Of
Organism at st. Louis. When asked
by a correspondent what he thought
of Judge Parker's gold telegram and
the action of the convention following
it's receipt, Mr. Cleveland rose slowly
and after brief silence, said:
''The party's action speaks for itself.
It has returned to sanity and future
progress along the right lines now is
assured Yes, it speaks: fGr itself. The
welfare of the DemoAq@eic party is
close to my heart, and it is once more

Marked with the indisputable EVIL
dence Of an encounter with John Bar
leycorn and a hard fist, he ambled into
a mission drug store for relief. His
eyes were half closed, there was a wan
dering, bleeding laceration across his
forehead, his nos was tilted to one
side, and q cash In one cheek complet-
ed the damage.
The druggist cheerfully replied that
he would Ak up the caller.
"Wait a minute" said the apothe-
a as he reached for the gauze. the
lint and the antiseptic. The badly
marred customer disconsolately saun-
tered about the shop, but suddenly
stopped In front of one of those convex
mirrors that do such queer tricks of
distortion with their reflected images.
Our friend caught a glimpse of him
self out of those disturbed optics. With
a yell of terror he tore himself loose
from the scene and bolted for the door,
soaring the druggist half to death.
"Come back hereI" shouted the drug
clerk.
Not much." almost shrieked the fee
ing man. Il just saw myself in your
looking glass, and if | don't get to a
doctor I'm ruined for life"
And he did not stop for explanation.
