Judge DesVoignes has fixed the lid in
Lawrence and it won't come off. Hurry
orders for Hayner and the dispatch of
team to Watervliet indicated that it was

alcohol to put 10 cigar lighter, pre-
scription for liver invigorator and
chemists permit for Paris green are

Easter hat are on the street and they
are nightmare. AS they float by on
the heads of the owners we name them
from the flowers. When a creation in
red on the head of bright.eyed miss
crosses your vision, you say crimson
rambler. When you pass jumbled
mass of green, pushed down on the cor

age who is following a sharp nose six
inches long, foot Of which is In some
ones business, and who is spreading
scandal by a house to house canvass,
you say skunk's cabbage. A demure
little miss with quiet little hat is mod

Ackley lake, and peopled with the rain

it would be an ideal place to turn lotus
