The ancient Jews considered il the

to a man to pluck his beard. 1t was a
notion of the Mohammcdans that.
though Noah reached his thousnndth
birthday. no hair of his blessed beard
fell off or became white; but the Mo
hammednns had no more authority for
that than for their belief that the devil
has but one solitary long hair for a
beard.
Ii was. rs some say. In order TO dis
tingush themselves from the ancient
Israelites that the followers of NOLAN

A pass was sent, however, and so

The next mornings mail carried to
Colonel Ingersoll an envelope inclosing

One day, walking near Radley, his
attention was caught by group of
little girls playing in the road, and
he went and talked to them. One of
them specially attracted his attention.
He asked her why she was playing in
the dust Had she no garden at home
Did she love flowers? What was her
name? And she replied modestly, with
wonder in her eyes. On reaching home
lie gave orders TO his solicitor to look
out for and buy cottage with gar
den in Radley and have deed of gift
made out in the little girls name,
which was done accordingly, and she,
full of wonder, with her astonished
parents entered at once into posses

The Cossacks on some Of the rivers

cut n long trench across a river when

Well, it's q thousand to one they have never drank any from our store. We know one instance where a certain person had refraaned from Tea for seventeen years, but one day while visiting they were served some of Our Tea with light lunch and it was so palatable that they called for the second cup and m quired where it was purchased. It's needless to say we had one more cus- toner added to our list and the whole family has been made happy, yes. sir rec. they are just as happy as the Waterbury policeman were on last Sunday. We'll, did you see our ''cops'' with their belts and white gloves? Say, they looked fine and the best of it is they all know 1t. Of course they are a fine looking lot of fellows, anyway, and the white gloves top them off so that dts much easier to find one of them when you are looking for him; you can tell him a mile away Therefore the crooks and 'spotters'' will be much pleased with the new rules. Say, did 1t ever occur to you that We would have no. crooks and less spotters and a blame sight more happiness in this world if everyone would drink nothing strong CT than nice tasting Tea or Coffee.
