As the huge rivers which so often flood cities along their shores, arise in a few mountain.. ( springs, so all our ailments can be traced to impure blood and a small group of disordered organs. The most effective and inclusive remedy for disease is Purker’M lonic. It goes to the sources of pain and weakness. In response to its action, the liv er, kidneys, stomach and heart begin their work afresh, and disease |« driven out. The Tonic is not, however, an intoxicant, but cures a desire for strong drink.

And yon would part your hair in tbe middle and wear yellow gloves and suy ‘g’lang.’ That’s the kind of a millionaire you would be.” “No, sir!

The humane society man is going to tell us when they take a load of wood to a poor widow’s house, and us boys are going to sneak up to her house after dark, armed to the teeth with buck-saws and saw-bucks, and axes, and before a widow knows what kiod of a gang wc are, we are going to saw up her wood end split it, and carry it in. We made the darudest mistake last night, on the South side, though. Wc found a 1 load of wood next door to a poor widow’s j hoti9e and after we had got it all done, a j Dutch cigar-maker, next door, who owned the wood, got mad about it and made us pay 84 for the wood.

I suppose that detective thinks he will run ou to a kit of burglar tools when he makes u'ruid on us iD (he barn, but ho will find us filing saws. Pa says us boys have struck a lead now that makes him proud of us, and if we can’t find wood enough to saw he will buy some. If he does wo will give it to somebody that is poor.
