GEORGE MUSE,
30 WHITEHALL Si«££|CV ATLANTA, GA.
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar, indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone” sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky—
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and lan
guid feeling. Then followed
a dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order to save the pa
tient’s life an operation was jus
tifiable. Accordingly, on the
22d of February, 1883, the op
eration was performed by Dr,
Vance in the presence of Dr.
Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr.
Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner
and Dr. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consis
ted in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin
ation of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was nc
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration (for
this was what the disease really
was,) she would have been liv
ing to-day. Shaker Extract
of Roots, or Seigel’s Cura
tive Syrup, a remedy made ex
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its ef
ficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.
Not often, nor for long. O friend, my friend.
We w--re not lent our life that we might
weep;
The flower-crowned May of earth bath soon

Should our fair spring a longersojoum keep?
Comes all too soon tbe time of fading leaves -
Come on the cold short days. We mns: arise
And go our way and gamer home our sheaves,
Though -ome far, faint regret may cloud oar

Sometimes.
Sometimes I see a light almost divine
In meeting e\ es of two that now are one;
Impatient of the tears that ri-e to mine,
I turn away to seek some work undone.
Th^r»* d*wns a look upon some stianger face;
I think, “How like, and yet how far lew

AmUock. and look again, and seek to trace
A moment more your fancied likeness there,
Sometimes.
O sad, sweet thoughts! O foolish, vain regrets!
as wise it were, what time June roses blow,
T<» wet-p because the first blue violet
We found in spr.ng had faded long ago.
O love, m> love!— if yet by song of bird.
By flower scent, by some sad poet’s rhyme*.
My heart, that fain would be at peace, is stir

Am I to blame that still I sigh sometimes,

May haply • mile to yours that smile again,
Beneath the sun and stars of ^uthem skies?

And sn I remained that night in the
midst of some ancient ruins called
Monmouth. I was not acquainted in
Monmouth, and I had no business
there that I ever heard <>f, and yet I
remained there through what was left
of that terrible night.
I often think that our forefather
did not sutler any more hardships

W. E. AVERY,
THE JEWELER.
Bill Nye’s Fourth of July Oration.
Fellow Citizens: It has now
been one hundred and eleven years
since the most successful and mow
prosperous republic kaown thus far to
nistory sent forth upon the sultry air
Us first feeble cry. Oue hundred and
eleven years ago this morning, the
-mall red infaut known as American
Liberty jammed her purple fists Into
her watery eyes and made a few des
ultory remarks which were beard in
1 he uttermost parts of tbe earth.
To-day she is a full-grown person
with a dignified mien, and has had a
statue of herself taken, which stands
tu the harbor of New York, and al
itimigh she lights up ihe country for
miles around with her tall torch,
there is no oue who has ever been able
to hold a candle to her in the liberty
business.
Those who are to-day within tbe
sound of my voice, and who are ovei
oue huudred and eleven years of age,
will perhaps recall to their minds the
deplorable condition of things here iu
our young and struggling country al
that time.
If we moved out West in order to
secure more freedom, the venturesome
savsge filled us full of arrows till we
looked like toothpick-holders, and
when we came back for protection,
the haughty Briton assessed us and
crushed us beneath tne iron heel of the
despot.
Now, wherever the starry banner
bangs out to greet tbe gentle breeze,
all, all are free. Little do we know
to-day, here iu America, what it is to
suffer for freedom. Liberty does a
good business here in the United
Slates now, and the mui who runs out
of freedom shows that he is a shiftless
man and a poor provider.
Only a little over a century sgo we
dared not go out after dark without a
chilled steel corset, for fear that the
maroon-colored children of the forest
might let the pale, shimmering moon
light in among our vital organs by
means of their crude tomahawks.
Then life was indeed uncertain and
disagreeable. People remained at
home rather than return to their hous
es with holes in themselves and wild
ly disheveled brains.
Now a man can start ont and go any
where if he w ill pay bis fare.
And so we are marching on. What
a grand stride it is from the despotism
of a century ago. to the long and short
haul of to-day I What a mighty leap
from tbe barnarism of a hundred years
ago, to tbe glorious sunlight of freedom
which we enjoy now !
Where once Ihe slow-going ox team
and Belcher box wagon crept through
ihe wilderness, liable to be scattered
over tbe greensward at any moment
by the yelling Injun, now ihe patient
newspaper man, the member of Con
gress and tbe Associated Justice of the
Supreme Court, with their coats over
their arms, toil along the level sweep
of railroad which they assisted to build
by means of their land grants and
moral encouragement, looking ever
and anon over their shoulders fir the
approach of the yelling modern en
gine.
Times have indeed changed in tbe
past century. A hundred years ago
whisky was sold for forty cents per
gallon, and every other man you met
was a statesman. Now you have to
pay fifteen cents for enough whisky to
wet tbe bottom of a sms II tumbler and
there hasn't been a speech made in the
House of Representatives for three
years lhat was listened t-> by anybody
but the stenographer.
S > liberty, while enlarjdng her field,
has not always ameliorated tbe con
dition of mankind. We are prone to
boast over the enormous mass of free
dom which we have accumulated here
in America, and yet the freedom of
the press has been greatly impaired,
if I may be allowed that expression.
Too much caste has been the result
ol recent laws. A year ago I held np
The Belle of Sierra.
“We’ve got a girl up in our country,”
-aid James Farwell of Sierra valley
yesterday at the Grand Hotel to a San
Francisco Examiner reporter, "that
discounts the world. Ain’t another
one like her auywhere. Make a good
catch, too, for some fellow, only he
-bould have pleuty of hustle to him,
else he’d get laid out. She’s a ripper.
Runs two ranches and makes a barrel
of money.
"You see, she’s a girl who is alone
in the world. Two or three years ago
her only relative, a brother, died, and
consequently she had to run the prop
erty. She is Miss Ellen Callehat.
Everybody throughout tbe Sierra val
ley knows her. She can yoke up the
-teers and plough as much iu a day as
anybody. She can build fences, pitch
hay, or take.her place with a crew of
men at a threshing-machine aud keep
even with any of them.
“As for riding refractory mountain
horses, bhe’s a regular vaquero. It
takes a very supple and loug-Jiiuteil
nag to get her "fl, now, I tell you.
He'd need to be lubrica'ed with the
neat material a going to do it.
“Miss Callehan has gone into the
cattle business a gnod deal lately. It
is only a few days ago since she sold
forty-six beeves in oue lot to James
Miller for $2,312 75. And, If you think
-he ain’t shrev-'d on a trade, all 'I have
>o say is she got 8)£c. for them,
which is the highest price paid in the
Sierra valley for several years.
‘‘She wouldn’t take paper money—
nothing but gold—and she carried it
all home with her, aud stowed it away
iu her cabin. She has a holy horror of
hanks, aud thinks they do little else
nut sw indie. Now some people might
think this girl would be good gam,
for r< bber.-, but she wouldu’t. I have
an idea it would be a very sorry time
for tbe tuau who got to poking bi-
nose about her placa. She can shoo,
and she does it, too, Whenever the oc
casion requires.
“No, I never heard that she shot a
man, but she is as handy as any frou-
tietsman on tbe game that comes
irouud there."
"Is she pretty?”
“Not from tbe city standpoint, hard
ly, I presume. Fact is the girl’s got
too much to do. But she is not oyer
25, weighs about 130 and is dashing
and really attractive. If she gave her
time aud attention to frills aud furbe
lows instead of bulls and beef, I’m free
to say I think she would eclipse many
of the dazzlers who listen every night
to the music of the National Oper,
Company. Tbe girl's environment
has had much to do with the forma
tion of her habits, the same as it has
with all persons. But Miss Callehan
is ambitious. She says she is soon go
ing to have a piano and an extensive
library, and as soon as she turns ofl
her other lot of beef cattle, which will
lie early in tbe fall, she is going to take
life easier. My word for it, Miss Cri-
leban has tbe real stuff in her, ami
we’ll hear from her further and to
greater advantage before long.
"Some of the young raDchm-n in
the vicinity there have shown an in
clination to win the yonng woman's
hand. But she hasn’t encouraged
them much. She says most of them
are no account.
“I suppose Miss Callehan is tbe best
judge of live stock on the Pacific coast.
She is to the Pacific coast what Minnie
Morgan is to tbe Allantic. You know
Miss Morgan made such a reputation
as a judge of hoofed cattle aDd horses
in the East that the New York World
wanted her, and now she does the fine
stock department exclusively for that
paper, the World paying her such a
salary that she writes for no other pa
per whatever.
“At guessing on the weight of a
steer, or on giving an opiniou of the
points of a horse or cow, Mias Callehan
is acknowledged to be the queen of
that country.”
-Women Baling a City.
Salina [Kan ) Letter to M-mphls Appeal.
I have just returned from a trip on
tbe Banie Fe road, west. Byr <cuse, 16
n.iles from the Colorado line, was the
Mecea of my pilgrimage, because here,
April 4'b, they elected aCliy Council
of women, and I was bent upon seeing
tbe town that had made this Innova
tion and the women who were filling
the Council chairs. I wanted to ask
'he people how it came about and bow
it was working. The first of these la
dies introduced to me was Mrs. E. B.
Barbour, a fair-faced, gentle-man-,
nered woman, with cd unmistakable
air of business about her. I found >bi.*
accounted for by the fact that she is a
business woman. Her husband does
a large and complicated business; the
books are entirely in her charge. Mrs.
H. D. Nott is a business woman, too.
I expect much of Mrs. N"tt in the
management of their ’Suffrage Society,
because of her experience in Iowa as
a President of the Eighth District
Woman Suffrage Society. Mrs. Cog-
gesbali says they were very sorry to
lose Mrs. Nott from their ranks. She
is chairman of the Syracuse Alder-
manic force. Mrs. M. M. Riggles is a
quiet little woman, a careful aud con
scientious mother and bousewi e. She
has a way of rnakiug up her mind for
herself and standing firmly by her
convictions. She hag a reputation
atuoDg Syracuse male citizens for be
ing a person of exceileut judgment.
Mrs. S. N. Coe is a woman of excel
lent ability, with enough conversation
to keep her enthusiasm in proper
check. No one of these woemn is
mo e anxious to do exactly right than
is Mrs. C"t. She is sister to Mrs. Le
inert, President of the Saxon Equal
Suffrage Society, organized at Dodge
City by Mrs. Saxon and named for
her. She has several such namesakes
In Kansas. Mr.-. L. M. Swartwood,
the fifth member, I did not see, al
tbohgh I made an effort to do go. She
was confined to her room by sickuess;
out I am told she Isa woman of abili
ty aud by no means behind her sister-
iu auy requisite for her position. M\
-hurt acquaintance with these women
couviuced me that sitting iu council
chairs and wrestling with questions ol
city polity have bad no effect to uuaex
them—whatever that may be—for
these were as wcmeuly women as 1
have eve- seen. I looked in vain for
masculine tendencies. There was
uotahiut of it in dress or manner.
Meeting them on tbe street or in the
cars, you Would never guess that they
were city officials. From conversa
tion with them I learned that the}
were exceedingly aux'ous to make
heir admiiiisiratinu a just one—out-
hat would advance the best interest,-
"f the city; aud when they spoke ot
advancing the interests of their city
they betrayed the fact that they hall
tu mind the city’s moral as well a-
emporal prosperity. It is said of
them that they are doing better work
than the body of men who composed
the previous Couucil. Their towns
people say they were elected because
‘‘somebody proposed it aud every hotly
was pleased with the idea;” becauS’-
“it was believed they would make ex
cellent officersbecause “the temper
ance people thought women wouldn't
lie afraid to enforce the prohibitory-
law ;” because “we wanted to adver
tise our town”—this last from a mem
tier of a real estate firm; because
“women would take time to do the
work well and thoughtfully.” Alto-
vether, I was pleased with my first
sight of a woman Council. This is
the only one in the United Stales.
Brown is a stay-at-home man, but

ed:

Advice for the Minister.
Dakota Bell.
A young man who recently gradu
ated from an Eastern theological
school went out to Murray, ln the
Coe ir d’Alene couDtry, to take charge
of a church. Tbe largest gamblin'
hall In town was cleared for bis ac
commodation the first Sunday, one
table on which Spanish monte was
usually dealt being left for him to
stand behind. A large stock register
boob was laid on this, which was sup
posed to represent a Bible. The whole
town turned out and tbe young di
vine preached a powerful sermon In
it he stroDgly denounced gambling,
horse-racing, drinking and profanity.
That afternoon he was called on by a
committee of leading citizens, oDe of
whom said:
“Pardner, thar’s a little matter we’d
like to talk over with ye. I reckon it's
all O. K. that yon an’ me should speak
o’ some matters, as we’re a good deal
in the same line o’ work, as I might
say—both o’ us try in' to better the
community.”
“Indeed, do I see a minister of the
gospel before me ?”
“I reckon not, Capt’n. Wot I meant
was thet I am the chairman nv tbe
vigilance committee.”
“Is it possible?"
“Mighty rozs'ble, Capt’n. Wot we
come here to s»y is that we don’t ap
prove o’ yer preaehin.’ ”
' ‘I am very sorry thsr such is the case,
but I can’t see how I can change it.”
“Can’t, bey? Well, I reckon ye’ll
bev to. Ye’ve got’er l»t up on hol
lerin’ agin gamblin', an’ ho-s racin’,
an' swearin’, an’ ticker. Them things

here to warn ye, an’ 'taint our style to

“But, my dearsir, what can I preach

thing?”
“What can ye preach agin? Well,

“Lawyers and witnesses, as a gen
eral tblug, use all their tact in endeav
oring to get the best of each other du
ing tbe course of an exsmination,
remarked a well known lawyer in the
hearing of a reporter at the court
house this morning, “but one of th
most laughable incidents that I can
remember occurred in an East Teunes
see couoty a good many years ago,
decidedly seusational breach of prom
ise case was being luard, aud several
• *f the *l*ig guns’ in ihe legal army had
been employed on both sides, among
the number a youthful barrister fmn
Knoxville, who was then fresh from
college, but has siuce attained dis
tiuctiou as a jurist
“The little town of L was
a state of feverish excitement; th'
court house was paetted, aud a bitter
feeling existed between tne opposing
tactions. The cross-examinations
were trying the ingenuity of the coun
sel on both sides, and very often Judge
H , who was on the bench, would
have 'o come to the rescue of either
tbe excited witness or the baffled in
terrogator.
“Reuben Barnes was put upon the
-laud by the prosecutions he had been
employed as a farm hand by the com
plaiuaut’s lather during the time th'
alleged courtship was in progress, and
>f course was supposed ta have ob
served many things that would have
a bearing on the case. He proved ti
be incorrigible, and w»s frequently
threatened with the jail unless he au
wered questions. The louuglawye
whom 1 mentioned was conducting
the cross-examination, and a squab
tile ensued between ihe attorneys as
to the dismission of certain questions.
Barnes got mixed tip in it, aud when
ihe attorney asked him a questiou
that he did not understand he asked
for an explanation before answering.
“‘Mr. Barnes,’ replied the attorney
who was getting very angry, ‘that is a
technical poiut in law that you need
know nothing about. You will please
ell this court and jury whatyousaw
with your own eyes on tbp last Suu
-lav evening in May as you passed
'll rough the orchard toward the call

“ ‘Wall, I saw Dick and Sarah sitting
under au apple tree.’
“ ‘What were they doing?'
“ ‘They 'peared to be siltin' ’long-
side each other on au old sassafras
stum p.'
“ ‘Was there anything in their ac
cions to indicate that they were en
gaged in mute than a friendly conver-
-atiou ?’
“ ‘Wall, yes;’ slowly ejaculated
Barnes, while the wide court and
spectators held t eir bn ath, ‘I seed
'em gum-suckin’, lallyg .ggiu’ and
rich .'
“‘Now, sir,’exclaimed the lawyer,
jumi lng to Ills feet, wilh an excia-
ma ion of triumph, ‘will you pleas*
tell me what you mean by lally gag
gin?’
“ ‘That, sir,’ replied the witness
imitating, as faras possible, the pomp
ous tone of his interlocutor, ‘is er teck

needn’t know Dothin’ about.’
“It was too much, even for sedate
old Judge H., nnd the scattering lock-
bobbed up aud down on his bald pate
as he screened his face behind a law
hook and laughed until be cried. As
for the crowd—well, as soon as the
Judge could gain his self-control,
court adjourned for dinner.”
Didn't Ask Her Bight.
Mr. Burdette iusists that lie over
heard a woman lecturing her husband
as follows on board a train: "Now Fit
tell you why I wouldn’t go into the
restaurant and have a cup of coflee
with you while we were waiting for
the train. I didn’t like the way yon
asked me. Keep quiet. I have tbe
floor. Not half an hour before you
said to Mr. Pufler: ‘C -me, let’s get a
cigar;’ and away you went, holding
his arm and not giviDg him a chance
to decline. When we met John
O’Howdy on our way to luncheon you
said: ‘Just in time, John; come take
lunch with us.’ And then to-night,
when we found tbe train an hour late,
you looked at your watch, turned to
me, and said in a questioning way;
‘Would you like a cup of coffee?’ And
I did not want it; I was tired and s
little hungry, bull would have fainted
before I would have accepted such an
invitation. And you went away a lit
tle bit vexed with me and had your
coffee and bread and butiter hy your
self and didn’t enjoy it very much. In
effect you said to me: *If you want
a cup of coffee, if you really want it,
I will by it for you.' You are the best
husband in the world, but do as near
ly all tbe best husbands do. Why do
you men seem to dole things out to
your wives when you fairly throw
them to the men you know? Why
don’t you invite me heartily as you
invite men? Why didn’t you say,
‘Come, let’s get a little coffee and
something,’ aDd take nie right along
with you? You wouldrrt say toanus,
‘Would you like me to go and buy
you a cigar?' Then why do you al
ways issue your little invitations to
treats in that way to me? Indeed, in
deed. my dear hu.-band, if men would
only act toward their wives as heart!
ly, cordially, frankly as they do to
ward the men whom they meet, they
would find cheerier comnanions at
home than they would at tbe ciob.”

Jerusalem of To-Day.
"The Holy City looked very pros
perous and beautiful from this point
(Mount Olivet.) and the wind in tbo
olives made a pleasant sound; sown
-tood and looked, and tbe sacred
teaebiuga from all our lives came np
about us » hole and fair, as they bad
> een before we saw tbe Jerusalem of
to dg.v,” writes a correspondent. “A
rough Held lay all about us, with
scanty soil, where the gnarled old ol
ives, standing apart, looked as if they
had fought bard for life. Aud all over
iLe place, wherever nature predomi
nated over the slight cultivation,
there grew a low bush—they call it
‘chapparal’ in Texas—it is all tborna
and bare; at least, the leaves bad not
yet appeared. Everywhere they
grew, tbe-e low, thorny bushes; so it
" as not far they bad to seek the Mat
er’s crown.
“Ou top of the mount there are a
few hovels and a mosque wilh a high
minaret, from tbe top of which Wf
had a beautiful view.
“The Dead Sea, lying blue and
still, low down among its verdura-
less hills—the course of the Jordan
outlined iu green, Jerusalem, Betha
ny, aud, all about, tbe white roada
winding away among the curving
hills.
“Auotber view we had which equal
ed this. It was from a hilltop on tha
road to Bethlehem. From this wa
saw the Dead Sea aud Olivet, Jerusa
lem and Mizpab, Bethlehem, and all
(he fair, greeL plains where still tha
shepherds watch their flocks.
“By the time oue makes the journey
to Bethlehem, however, one has ba-
nme dull and unenthusiastlo. Tha
town is dirty, aud tbe guide talks on
incessantly;, the manger—a neatly-
finished marble box—the Altar of tha
Star, the Altar of the Innocents, tha
tomb of St. Jerome and tbe tomb of
Si. Paul seem all to be of equal valua
iu the eyes of the FraDciscau brother
who shows them to you.
“But the cell of St. Jerome—just
the place a gloomy dyspeptic would
choose for bis abode—this seemed of
more worth. Rather damp it waa,
th the light cqmiug iu from abova,
aud not very much of it; but not at all
uninhabitable.
Up-stalrs tbe Greek Church is im
pressive—impressive because ef its
perfect simplicity; for the brown raft
ers are all uup-inted and ungilded,
and are the resting-places of many
sparrous aud swallows, whose twitter
ings and chirpings filled the cool
glmnu. It reminded me of tbe peace
ful Campo Santo at Pisa, and with
Gei hseuiatie, aud the wheal-field*
bout Bethany, is tbe calmest memo
ry I have of Jerusalem."
The Terrible Florida Hog.
Writing'of tile Florida bog, the Pa-
latka (Fla.,) JVetu* says: We hava
seen his long lusks divide a dog like a
sword—we have seen a panther so ter
ribly wounded that tbe poor cat crept
fl iu despair to die, while the hog
recked not of flowing blood from hi*
own neck and shoulder, but proudly
hallenged a renewal of the fight. At
Tocio lately a hog made it a point to
land on tbe track whenever he saw
the locomotive coming, and the con-
iderate engineer stopped for fou r sue-
essive days to drive him off. At last,
tired of humanity which aroused DO
gratitude, the tram hands assembled
ny invitation to see that bogdemoliab-
d. He was on tbe track awaltiDg hi*
doom—and extra speed was drawn
from fat piDe burled iDto the furnao*
with malice prepense. The hog raised
his bead in surprise when no stop wa*
made, aud, seeing his danger, started
at a gallop down the track. In vain
the engine rushed forward with mad
dening speed till coaches rocked and
ladies screamed in terror. When th*
train reached Palatka the hog wa*
leisurely eating waste corn at Vertree*’
stable, so that he is now for sale a* •
race horse.
On another occasion the writer of
this was sleeping in camp, and around
lay a pack of bounds who had often
proved that a bear at hay brought no
terror to their hearts, and who carried
scars honorably earned in strife with
■ he wild cat and panther. Butanum-^
her of these razor-backs came around
in tbe dead of night, and when the
dogs attempted to drive them off they
charged like warriors true and tried.
They swept off the dogs and charged
iver the hunters—blankets, guns,
cooking utensils aud fishing rods be
came things of tbe past and stoat men
took refuge in the boats. Then, to
ave the dogs, revolvers entered into
he fray, and finally tbe fierce gruntera
moved off in search of pastures n*W.
With tbe early dawn came a long,
lean man, who carried a rifle as long
as himself, and be assessed tbe dam
ages, which tbe hogs should bav*
paid, aud carried ofl tbe slain, which
tbe victors did not want.
There are still a few theorists who
justify polygamy on tbe ground that
more women are born into the world
than men, but tbe theory baa long
been exploded. August Babe!, in hi*
remarkable work recently translated
into English, shows tha' in ten Slat**,
with a copulation of 250,000,000, th*
excess of females over males was only
2,500,000; and when we remember th*
extent to which nteD outnumber w*-
men tu the colonies, and the fact that
in India there are 6,000,000 more m*B
than women, tbe natural inferenM
that if the inhabitants of the earth
were distributed according to th*
sexes men and women would be found
to exist in about equal proportion!.
An accidental bittlDg of tb* key
note of a family phrase caused a little
tot to make this fuuny break: Her
mother, in bearing her say her pray
ers, told her to ask tbe Lord to mate
her a good girl. “Dear Dod,” said tte
little thing, “pleatb try and make warn
a dood girl—and if at firth you don't
tbucceed iry, try again,” she unexpect
edly added.
