ST. Clair Says


He does not believe in pushing
the sale of a medicine unless he
knows that it gives his customer
satisfaction. He pushes Lemolac,
as he knows it does the work. 1t
is not surprising that Lemolac is
proving such a good seller, as
most everyone needs a good Liv-
err Regulator and all of US detest
the unpleasant effects of calomel.
Lemolac does not grippe, sicken
or salivate, and is very pleasant
to take. If you don't believe it
is good try a bottle and be con-
vinced. You cannot lose, as it is
guaranteed to give satisfaction
by St. Clair Drug Co., or any
live druggist who pleases his
customers
P. S If you forget the name
spell Calomel backward.

| sized hunk of ice which was to be my
argument, Lohengrin came out OF his
trance and started off, but Peaches
forgot her instructions and spoke
above a whisper and he stopped
again.
Then | took the reins, cracked the
whip, shouted a few paragraphs of
the language General Villa uses in
Mexico when he captures a Federal
soldier, and away we rushed like the
wind-when it wasn't blowing hard.
The hours flew by and we must have
| gone at least half as mile, when n
other Kerosene Wagon came bouncing
toward us from the opposite direction.
In it was a happy party of ladies and
gentlemen, who were laughing and
chatting about some people they had
just run over.
Lohengrin saw them coming and
stopped still in the middle of the road.
Then he hung his head as low as he
could, and / believe if that horse had
been supplied with hands he would
have put them over his ears.
The people in the Bubble began to
shout at us, and | began to shout at
the horse, and friend wife began to
! shout al nue., while Lohengrin stood
there and scratched his left ankle with
his right heel.
Then the machine made a sudden
jump to the right and hiked by us at
the rate of about a 500 fine, while
the lady passengers in the cabin de
luxe stood up and began to hand out
medals to each other because they
didn't run us down.
Ten minutes later Lohengrin. came
to and looked over his shoulder at us
with a smile as serene as the morning
and once more resumed his mad ca
reer onward, ever onward.
We were now about two miles from
home, and suddenly we came across a
big red touring car which stood in
front of a ~roadhouse, %sneezing inward
ly and sobbing with all it's corrugated
heart.
Lohengrin saw the machine before
we did.
He knew there must be an automo-
bile somewhere near. because he
stopped still and quietly passed away.
l jumped out and tried to lead him
by the Coroner's Delight, but he plant
ed his four feet in the middle of the
road and refused to be coaxed.
! took the horse by the ear and
whispered therein just what / thought
about him, but he wouldn't talk back.

his lips cdffed with an expression
which seemed to say, Impossible"
1t was all off with us.
Lohengrin simply wouldn't owe un-
til that. sobbing Choo Choo Wagon had
left the neighborhood, SO l went in
side the roadhouse to find the owner.

man chauffeur and eight bottles of
beer.
When l explained the pitiful situa-

two bottles of beer and began to cry.
Then he told the waiter to call him

and tries to forget it. Isn't that better
than running away and dragging you
to a hospital? There must be some
thing about an automobile that affects
Lohengrin's heart. | think it is the
gasoline. The odor from the gasoline
seems to penetrate his mind to the re-
gion of his memory and he forgets to
move. Lohengrin is a fine horse, with
a most lovable disposition, but when
the air becomes charged with gasoline
he forgets his duty and falls asleep at
the switch"
i went out and explained to my wife
that Lohengrin was a victim OF the
gasoline habit, and that he would
never leave that spot until the Bubble
went away, and that the Bubble
couldn't go away until the chauffeur
woke up, and that the chaufeur
couldn't wake up until his mind had
digested a lot Of wood alcohol, so she
Jumped out of the trick sleigh for the
purpose of telling Lohengrin just what
she thought about him..
At that moment somebody opened
the folding doors in the barn just
ahead of us, and Lohengrin, with a
whitening glance at friend wife and a
shrug of his shoulders in my direction,
tippy-toed to cover and left us fiat.
Ostler Joe, the charge d'affaires OF
the barn, tried to stop Lohengrin and
ask for his credentials, but the equine
onion brushed right by and planted
himself and the droshky in the middle
of the barn floor, where he promptly
went to sleep again.
Just as we hurried away to flag an
approaching trolley car | heard Ostler
Joe say to the slumbering Lohengrin:
