Most old people must give TO the bow,

il is for old people to walk slowly, For

So all old people need Cascarets. One

thought that Mr. Weller may remain

The impression is, that after retir-

management of Senator Weeks cam
paign for the Republican nomination
for President. Afterwards, Mr..

his private business affairs.
