evening, but the attendance was small,
owing no doubt to the heat, but those

demonstration, Miss jenkins, is one of the

and two weeks ago he came here, un-
derwent the operation, and entered
the hospital for month. The time
and expense incurred, together with
the fact that he intends to try again

su fficient evidence of patriotism. But
Paxton is made of different stuff.
He wanted a bond and he didn t
