I had heard of the accident to Uncle
Hiram Walker, but had not seen any
of his folks for two weeks The report
was that he had been tossed sky-high
by his bull, and that he might not live

from the front door the other day and
to say.

PILGRIM JOE.
A Town in Which They Did Not Use
Him Well.

AS I abided in the town of Last
Chance for a few days while suffering
the affection of a carbuncls on my
neck, I received a letter from the
asking me to come over there as soon
as able and show my show of moving
pictures. and bring along q large stock
of the Pilgrim Pain AIieviator. The
aforesaid Alleviator has now been be-
fore the public for many years, and its
certain and marvellous virtues are
known to all; but cannot let this op-
portuntty pass without saying that:
It is q remedy for dependency.
Two doses cure the earacle-
1t acts like magic on disappointed
love.
One bottle will assauge the deepest
sorrow.
If your wife has eIoped the Allevia-
tor will make you glad of it.
It cures fngrowtng toenaiIs and pal
pitation of the heart.
Thousands of people who were
standing on the verge of the grave
have been yanked back and come to
weigh two hundreds pounds by invest
ing in a single bottle.
Whenever and wherever you ind
druggist selling my Alleviator you need
ask no further references. He is re-

tied with the feeling for q time. and
finally succeeded in throwing 1t off, but
later on came to understand that It
was q warning that I would have done
well to heed. I had skeerce entered
the town of Getaway Quick when
was struck by q certain air of general
levity and recklessness. The mayor
came forward to shake hands with me-
and while doing SO he whispered IN
my ear:
"Old cock, I've got it all fixed for
you and me to be pards in a game Of
poker and clean. up the town.

poker except when I felt that the
heather of Africa were short of small

freeze up on me. He had skeercely

that go in with him on a horse race
T and scoop the town. I gave him a dis
couragfng reply. and he left me with a
threat on his lips. Then q third citi-
zen approached me. He was a deputy
sheriff. and he wanted me to ring In a
tooth paste with my AllevfatOr and
beat the public and whack Up with
him. When referred him to my spot

his fist under my nose and said was

she whispered:
