Uncle Josh, all this trading round
town has caused me to forget another
one or two of the greatest essentials to
future existence. Newly married folks
can't live on love and scenery any
more than anybody else-but your
table would look slim without bread.
It's the staff of life, you know. Polly
must make the acquaintance Of viii
McGlothlin, of the Vienna bakery. His
bread, pies and cakes and nicknacks
are conceded by all to be the finest on
earth. Remember, Charley, there is
no use of your 'ooty tootsy' bothering
herself much about baking, so long as
there is good baker in town like Nc

in the name of creation did you get
that rope? That's about the worst
snipe that ever came in contact with
my olfactory nerve" laughingly re-
marked Uncle Josh. Step in here to

you'll have a gentleman's smoke. Mr..
Nickel takes great pride in handling
all the leading brands, both imported
and domestic, and consequently his
place grows more popular every day. 4"
Charley was so well pleased with the
cigar Uncle Josh treated him to that
he bought whole box and advised his
wife to remember the brand when she
got his next birthday present, not for
getting to also make note of his fine
display Of other cigars, tobaccos, pipes,
etc.
But say, Uncle, look here, is there

that myself, and I must say if there's
anything in the line Of food consump-

good oysters. The only place in town
to get good oysters served up in any
style is at Franks Place. So we will
drop in and get some, and if you don't
say your Uncle Josh took you to the
right place, then I'm no prophet"
En- route to their home the party

Uncle Josh, and as this is the best

Uncle Josh admitted that he for one

old man, bright smile on his face.
