Mr. Goodwin rammed such charge as
he used to send home when face to

Mr. Goodwin was proud of 1t because
it was such a noise as was never heard

on the drug stores for bromide. There
was a hasty exit from all living quar-

and 1t was away into the morning be-

Mr.. Goodwin Is an estimable citizen

the field of battle, and 1t is fair to say
that he had no idea OF the result when
he loosed Long Tom upon New Years
