Ens. GAZETTE z—Bten looking for your
man Jim, who put what I said in your
paper, ever since the paper came to town.
Not ’causc he told the truth about me and
the borough and the town book, but ’causc
I wanted him to print more facts. Why
every GAZETTE in town has been turned
and read ’till there ain‘t much of one left:
The town book is written and printed and
bound, and anybody who wants one can
have it for nothing by simply going for it.
There has been a great deal said about
that book. for and againstit; though every
body agrees that Kirk has done agood
job considering he had such trouble in
getting it written right,and that the selected
men were so long about it. Why! it’s one
of the mysteries of this mysterious place.
I thing it plain enough. You can’t; make
a selectcdman write when he don’t want
to, no matter what his salary is. There
was lots of tilk about what was in the
book before it was writ and sin ce. Jones
and Smyth met on Smithie's—tliat is, on
Smithic’s corner Sunday when they orter
been to chuich, and after they had taken
Weedie’s snipe by the bill and eight other
sovereigns had put the same bill to their
lips, (the snipe was caught the same Sue-
day morning at Daricu) they proceeded to
discuss the new book of revelations as
revealed by the selectedmen’s pen and
Kirk’s book binding establishment. Jones
read from the book: Income from meal
20c and for cutting bushes $2.38; that
Leroy Monroe got a salary of $1.00 a year
whilclke Lee got $2.00 and Charley Hall
had 70c. worth (f eggs, and the price of
board at the farm was $3.00 a week,
and school books and stationery cost $1.77.
Smythe breaks in with : “Who in thunder
cares all about that. Tell us what was the
bill of Bill Windover for working on the
roads. Ilow many days? How much a
day? How many days did Capt. Purdy
bridge over? How much did John Bliss
pay to have the mud carried away from
the top of his In 1? What did Pat Walsh
get for supervising the roads? ” etc.
Jones reads on : Tramps $3.00; Sheep
killed—“Never mind sheep” several break
in. Jones read on Jacob St‘heelc $7.50.
“Scheele $7.50 I ” all in chorus, “He
won’t cost the town anything next year,
but what in thunder did he want $7.50
from the town for? Give us Wiudover
and Purdy, and about the cost of roads.”
Jones reads—Paid bank $6.50 T. M. Fair-
ty $1,500, interest Fairty $135.99, bank
again, $6,300. S. C.Silliman’s not: —“town
paying Silliman’s note ?” It’s so here.-—~
Reads on: Error $7.55. “Error! what’s
that?” It puts ('arl in m.nd of a fact that
occurred to a farmer and his wife wholivc
not a hundred miles from the borough,
who l‘L‘CciVOtl ‘lircugh the mail a bill
rendered by one of our merchants, item-
ized, which John read as follows: 1lb
eofi'ce, 1lb raisins, ’le sugar, 31b ditto, .l_,|b
ditto. Nancy breaks in V; “John read that
again. 7lb sugar, thats right. 3lb ditto,
ditto, John, whats that, put on her specs,
and spells “D-i-t-t—o, ditto, John we never \
had a. drop of ditto in the house. That
belongs to some of them temperance fel-
lows that don’t dare to have it charged in
its right name. We never did have a drop
did we John ? ” “No, Nancy, not a drop,
though I did suspectGrimes was selling a
little on the sly. I’ll go right over to town
and have the bill made right.” John
hitched up Dobbin and while jogging to
town kept saying to himself, “Did I have
one or two half pints and have it charged
so Nancy would not know it?” But try
as hard as he could, he was sure he did
not have any charged. IIitching his horse
at the post he walks in and was met by
merchaiitGriiiies. “Nancy and I have been
looking over the bill you sent us and we
found the butter and sugar all right but
you have got us charged with something
we never had. Nancy is sure we never
did and I’ll be hanged if I can. I swan,
Mr. Grimes, if I can remember it.” Mr.
Grimes takes the bill and reads down to
the item of 7th sugar 31b ditto. When
John broke in : “That’s it; Ican’t remem-
ber and Nancy says she is sartin We never
had a drop of ditto in the house.” “Ila!
ha! ha!” laughs Grimes. “You had it,that’s
plain.” “But. Nancy says she never did.”
“Let me explain. You see you had ”71b
sugar for 500. and 31b ditto 30c. That’s 3
lb better sugar at a higher price, so of the
tea.” John’sjaw dropped. He unliitched
the horse and drove home chuckling how
he had paid for everything he did not
want Nancy to know of‘ and how glad he
was that Nancy did not know any more
than he did. Nancy met him at the gate
and said: “How did you make out? I
knew we never had any ditto.” “Ditto,
ditto,”says John. “Grimes made out that I
was a darn fool and that you’re ditto ”
And, Carl continued,“Irthiuk you are a
ditto trying to find out by that book how
much tlill Windover got a day or how
many days Purdy bridged over and charg-
ed to bridges. ' JACK.

It was originally a prescription of a. country
physician with a large practice, across the

A patient of his coming to this country
brought the prescription for family use, and
it came to our attention. We found it good

a year. We

We were more than convinced. Requests
came to us from allsides to put it on the
market, and we have started it on a
SUCCESSFUL CARI? I; R.
We have only began to advertise it, and
it is already placed in towns all over the
Eastern and Middle States, and in some 10-

is what they call

it cannot be good.
But Is this not prejudice? Undoubtedly
