he cares anything about her?

shall be sure he is limited in time OF
love if he doesn't seek it oftener.

said he was not John Reilly that he was sailing under
false colors So the flourish of his trumpet gradually
died away and the store room In the Schmulbach bud

clother in town.
Now if the retail merchants had the proof Of John
Reys duplcity, and protected themselves by driving
him out then they also protected the people from being

indebted to the Business Mems Protective Association

tell them in these advertisements that they cure their
ailments And So aing almost despairing these Vie

Now even as the merchants of Wheeling acted IN their
own interests in the matter of John Reilly we call up
on the honest physicians Of Wheeling to interest them
selves in the case Of the Pevc Specialists And even as
the voice of the merchants was listened to- maybe the
voice of the doctors of Wheeling will be heard farther

is really disgraceful for us to tell the

provisions to discharge the other Is

Mann painted out that the Democrat
