CONVEYED ONLY PLAIN TRUTH
Advertisement Of Boston Physician
Merely Stated Facts Exactly as
They Were.

A Boston physician tells OF Doctor
Reed who, in his time, was one OF the
prominent medicos Of the Hub. His
large practice included many patients
outside the city limits, and these he
visited In his buggy.
One day Doctor Reed bought new
horse, with which he was much
pleased until he discovered that the
animal had an insurmountable objec-
tion to bridges OF all kinds, and could
not be made to cross one.
Inasmuch as at that period It was
necessary to cross certain bridges In
order TO reach any one of the sur
rounding towns, the doctor decided to
sell the horse. He did not think II
necessary to mention the animals pc
cullarity, but was much too honest to
misrepresent him, and, after some
thought, produced the following ad-
vertisement, which he inserted in a
local paper:
For Sale.-A bay horse, warranted
sound and kind. The only reason for
selling is because the owner is obliged
to leave Boston,"

Argument on Suffrage.

argument on suffrage in a New York

save all this trouble and fuss by Just

we go on letting the men represent us?

brunette's voice was calm, but firm.

inquired sternly. For a few minutes
the little blonde sat very silent. Then
she spoke. why, | never thought OF

II the eom missioners declined to ac-
coed to his request. The matter was
referred to the district attorney, and
a definite decision will be reached at
the next meeting of the moard.
One parcel involved under a tax
cloud includes eighty acres of patent
ed land e East Ely. Another rep
resents 200 acres of state contract
land in Snake Valley, and the third
forty acres In situated near the Cali

that one of the tracts was assessed Il
Mr.. Mann in 1913. and that 1t appear
