What? Two men pounding each other to jelly " not so bad." " ' : ' ?

No; there's no kicking allowed at this game ; and if they get their faces damaged, some kind friend will doubtless take- them to the Choral Hall to get "healed." ■ ri Ginger wine is a favourite teetotal "tip ple" 1 believe. ■■■..':

Yes, and I'm surprised at it, for it con tains a big percentage of alcohol.! ■.■: I. Why, that's.'the reason of its popularity, just as certain "hop bitters" are a favourite medicine with the. blue ribbon folks. , Parliament has settled down.to business at once. ■-<■";:.■■..-..■ ■,;,,.'./ ;.,-...,.,»,,. ; ,, ■

You were quite right in your remarks yesterday about the ridiculous methods of conducting- school committee elections.; -:-' I'm nob often astray ; but what has con vinced you on the subject?
