A prominent medical authority

narcotic poison and paralyzant of

lower point than where it was before

simulate the heart at all but imme'
listely depress it.
Upon the nervous system alcohol

WHEN THE FISH BEGIN TO BITE.


When the warm creeps in the water
And the worms begin to crawl
And the birds begin to chiuup round
The brook and waterfall;
When the toads begin to holler and
The turkey comes in sight,
That is when the season opens,
And the fsh begin to bite.
When the man housed ia his Office in
The noisy, bustling town,
Feels that awful itching feeling, from his
Stockings to bis crown;
When lie slams his stocky ledger and
Namoses 10 the night,
That is when the fever's cot him.
And the fish begin to bite.
When tie robins CHEEKY carol comes
Across the balmy breeze,
And the boy along the mill stream
Creeps beneath the budding trees;
When be drops bis hook 50 gently
Where the little sinners skite,
There is Joy within his bosom when
The fish begin to bite.
When the landlord in the country
Advertises ''board and rooms"
With his rivers full OF fishes, and his
Fields full Of perfumes;
When he writes his house is airy aud
Mosquitoless at night,
That is when ths city empties, and
The fish begin bite.

per ore in order to properly flux the

you can find, within the next two or
three weeks, from 40 to SO tons of
copper ore that will carry from to

task will be easy. 1t is our intention
to start the smelter about June 10,
; that is, we will be ready to receive ore
about that time and we will require
for the ten days test not less than
i. 300 tons Of smelling ore. fully fifty Of

that every miner in your vicinity, as
well as every man in the valley, will
get behind the proposition and helr
US obtain the necessary ore for this
run. Upon this run depends the sue
cess of the smelter."
THE patentee and his corporation
have sufficient confidence in the re
modelled smelter to pay their own ND
ney for all improvements as well q!
the labor necessary to equip the plan
but our corporation will be called up
on to furnish the ore, fuel, and ruI

we are taking chances on the success
of the proposition inasmuch as we ar,
putting up money for fuel and oper
