MINISTER A TRIFLE MIXED UP.
Consequently There Was an Awkward
Perhaps in Funeral Grafton.

1t was at the funeral of a man who
had left his young and attractive help
meet a widow for the third time. At
the time Of his death their clergyman
was away on European trip, and in
this emergency the Rev. DR.. Blank
was called upon.
A neighbor instructed him hastily
as to the admirable qualities of the
deceased, his benevolence, piety and
kind disposition, and gave him vari-
Gus points as to his family relations.
During the funeral discourse no out
slider would have suspected that the
Clergyman had not been lifelong
friend of the dead man. When, how
ever, he came to mention the widow
in his prayer, it was evident that his
data in regard to her had become a
trifie confused. He said:
"And now we commend to thy care
this widowed handmade, who has been
bereaved again and again and again.
Then hesitating an instant, he added:

A BOON TO SUFFERERS.

Attention is called to the "Miracu-
lous Catarrh Remedy" of DR.. Robert
Gray Of Pichucalco, Chiapas, Mexico,
which is advertised on another page
of this paper DR.. Gray is a very old
American physician, who for the past
forty-two years has been engaged in
tropical practice. He is no quack and
he has no medicine to sell.
He is we'll known among the mem
bers of the medical profession in the
United States, where he has attained
an enviable reputation as a talented
writer on medical subjects, many ply
sicians sending him money to secure
one or another of his special systems
of treating diseases. Hence it is GER
tain that his scientific and profession
al reputation would not permit him to
issue a prescription not having a
high grade of merit.
