the widow how her tomatoes were
coming along-if the potato bugs had
appeared in the garden. if the summer
squashes had begun TO get necks on
them, and various other things-and
then all OF a sudden he would ask
her to marry him. II must be sudden
or not at all.
The bashful Joe had been planning
this plan for a week, but it was all
upset by finding the sister there. Such
was his embarrassment that he asked
Mrs. Spicer TO lend him a hive Of bees

by the usual massacres of Armenians.
Our sympathy goes out, not alone to

You can stop a cough or cold as il

This is from man who knows.
Mrs. Mayer and myself have used
