Men among poor people was

beyond the glamor of figures,
jiobod^f can imagine. But
She inevitable reaction. has
let in, and it is of very little

The papers with the small-

Casement's store by §,rear
window. Tliey escaped, after
some shooting, but were finally traced to the swamp and
arrested. The den was filled
with plunder. There was
said to be a dozen inthe gang.
Wife—Here's an account of a man who
shot himself rather than suffer tho pangs
of indigestion. Husband—3?he fool!
Why didn't he take DeWitt's Little Early
Bisers? I used to suffer as bad as he did
before I commenced taking these little
