a wayside inn, where some workmen
were indulging in friendly glass
before parting company for the night.
On learning his profession, the work.
men agreed among themselves to
have a little fun at the expense of
the quack. So one of them, who
thought himself the wit of the COM
pany, got into conversation with him,
and eventually asked him what he
professed to be able to cure.
Experience, sir, has taught me to
cure any disease" answered the
quack, looking his questioner full in
the face.
Then should be much obliged to-
you if you will cure me of my COM
plant" went on the wit.
"Oh, yes, will cure you. What is
it you are suffering FROM"
"Well, first of all, l am an awful
liar; secondly, have lost my appe-
tite; and thirdly, have lost my MEM
ory."
"Oh, well, can make you all right.
If you will promise faithfully to take
twelve of my famous premier pills.
which are quite harmless"

Twelve large pills we're accordingly
handed to the wit, who took them
rather reluctantly.
"Well, how do you like them?" said
the quack, as the last one disap-
peared.
why, there is nothing in them but
tallow," replied the wit. -
81 am pleased to learn that they
are so efficacious." r.
What do you mean, SIR"
you say. my pills are nothing but
tallow. That is quite correct. I made
them from a candle. So you are no
longer a prevaricator. Then, again,
your appetite must have suddenly

to the groom, who in turn placed it
on the finger of the bride. The

raised in the village of Bagely. Her
life certainly has been an ideal one,
and this fact is attested by her
many friends, in fact her friends
are measured by her acquaintance,
all of whom wish her every happi-
ness in her new home. The groom
is sturdy young man of excellent
qualities, and is engaged in the drug

will be their future home. Life is
indeed full of promise to these young
people, who are now pledged to
share with one another life's Joy,
and bear with each other it's disap-
pointments and sorrow. May it
have nothing in store for them, but
sunshine and happiness, but may
they ever be ready to strengthen
each other in all labor, to rest on
each other in all sorrow, to minister
to each other in all pain, and to be
one with each other in silent, un-
speaka BILE memories at the moment
of the last parting.
