Then when it transpired that he did not consider tn e reduction sufficient and would break the contract, the company further cut the price down two cents, a total re- duction of five cents.

THE INNOCENT YOUNG MAN, ;,


 There was reception last week in honor of a certain event, of which it is not necessary to mention, says the "SolflOquiZer.' It was full of amusing incidents. There was a punch bowl in the gents dressing room and it was full of good stuff.'' There were many young physicians present at the celebration, several politicians and many 'tgood'' people
 When doctors and politicians get to- gether something is. bound to tran spire and the combination evolved the scheme to doctor glass of the punch for the purpose of Knocking. out'' a certain innocent youth. The t'inno- cent youth tasted the doctored glass and noticed the deception and put it down. One of the conspirators, the doctor who prepared the medicine, drank it. He did not detect it. The result was that the doctor went home in a hack and the innocent youth walked home without turning a hair.
