"Sergeant, bring in your prisoners."
Ths first was William Jones, an old
nan, with a whlU beard, who glanced
nervously around muttering to hiuv
M-lf: "Yea, 1 cow uJl the way from
Californy."
"What is the chargo?"
"Drunk on the Bteps of O'l'lanigan's
saloon, your honor."
At this the old man straightened
himself up and addressed the judge:
"Judge, did he say drunk?"
"That Is the charge"
"Judge, I ain't nover been drunk in
all my bom days. I come all the way
from Calif orny. Excuse me, judge,
my head feels kind of queer."
"Well, If you were not drunk, how
did you come to bo lying where they
found you at O'Flanigan's saloon?"
At the reference again made to tho
saloon, he for the second tin. endeav
ored to collect his Ideas.
"Judge," ho said, "my boy left his
home n!"h on three years ago. I'm a

left I've Khii savin1 up, and I brought

"But tell us how you come o bo at

would need It."
He stoped for a second iuid Um'h broke

Boils and Pimples
Give Warning.
AN UNFAILING SIGN THAT
NATURE IS APPEALING
When Nature is overtaxed, she hoi
her own way of giving notice that assist
ance Is needed. She does not ask for
help until it is impossible to get along without
it. Boils and pimples are on Indication that
tbe system is accumulating impurities which
Cflp UZ P must be (gotten rid of ; they are an urgent appeal for assistance
lUn nCLli a warning that can not safely be ignored.
To neariect to punry the blood at this
time means more than the annoyance of painful boils and
unsightly pimples. If these impurities are allowed to
remain, the svstem succumbs to any ordinary illness, and is
unable to withstand the many ailments which are so
prevalent during spring and summer.

that It had run down, and that nobody

It serves no political ambition, no creed,

ITS DIFFERENT, because It stands

to those principles.
IT S DIFFERENT, because It believes
manhood and not money should rule.
Therefore It upholds the rights of all,
