says one reason he could not play was
that he had to look at the pretty
young ladies that were in attendance
at the game.

it was a meteor or that stray air ship

parts of the country lately, causing so
much comment through the leading
papers of the country. It may be the
ship that was stolen from Esquire
Hoffman and Co. at Roana, Ind., who
made a trip to the North Pole early
in the spring, and after they came
hack the ship was stolen from the
company.
There was a meeting held at the

A Grateful Letter From a Baptist Min¬
ister.
I was suffering from rheumatism
when I was advised to use Chamber¬
lain’s Fain Balm. I now desire to
attest to the happy results. A few
applications of this liniment proved of
great service to me. It subdued the
inflammation and relieved the pain.
Should any sufferer profit by giving
Pain Balm a trial it will please me.—
Respectfully and gratefully yours, E.
Edwards, Minersville, Pa. (Pastor
English Baptist Church.) For sale by
