Mr. Archbold writes with becoming

Mr.. Archbold manages to write the
following letter to both Quay and PEN
rose;

Hon. M. S. Quay,
Beaver, Pa.
My Dear Senator:
1t gives me the greatest possible
pleasure to testify to the eminent
ability and fitness of the Hon.
Thomas A. Morrison, Smethport,
Pa, who is candidate for the Su-
preme Judgeship. If it proves
possible and consistent for you to
support him for the position,
shall be greatly pleased. His abili-

hardly dwell on them.
Very truly yours,

on" the abilities" of this particular

According to Maurice Morrissey, an

and slope directly backward from
over the eyebrows while the nasal
bones protrude far above the cheek
bones.
The skeletons are imbedded in char
coal and covered with layer of
