went out after insects, which was

fall into a wen or get caught by the
seat Of his trousers in crossing a fence

one day the professor, after many
admonltions from Mrs. Professor,
went to the city to meet man with
whom he had an engagement The
man was apparently farmer and
carried a carpetbag Of the rag va

whom were standing on the tables,
came cries Of MURDER and ~Pollce9
Suddenly tile door Of the private room
opened, and the two men who had in

about their heads. Their paaic was
communicated to the others, and there
was a mad rush for the door
when the saloon was cleared, there
remained the proprietor, the two bee
stung men, the professor and a police
man. The farmer who had sold the
bees came in and, taking IN the situa-

Then the professor told how he had
heard Of a rare variety of bees, how
he had bargained for them by CORE

owner to bring home, rounding ont
the story with an account Of the at.

You Must
Sleep.

II you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state Of
the brain, which will soon de-
yelope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food It

of Inconsistencies relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex-
hausted vitality.
DR.. Miles Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev-
cry nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.

and vitality as surely and
