Lived wholly on mullins and sassafras tea
Which he ate with spoon a bench in the park
From ten in the morning till long after dark;
lie always wore suits which were purple and pink
And allied his pockets with crullers and ink:
lie talked like parrot who'd swallowed a hea,

A story that will rank up with the
best two-part comedies is "Jerry's
Uncle's Namesake." and there Is con-
tinual laughter in this vitagraph. The
parts are played by the best that
could have been selected--or surely
none better could have been found.
The fun comes from the story as we'll

Drew is Jerry and Louise Beaudet is
Mrs. Jerry. These form one team of
the combination. Then there are
William Shea and Kate Price for an
other. Roger Lytton. the uncle Of

funmaking and Ethel Lloyd. the maid

1T appears that when the local op-
tion election was held in your county

The effect of this language is that

'In view of the foregoing and with
a hope of Strengthening out the tam
