The interest on the original cost would amount to considerably, more than the maintenance of other classes of roads which had been proved to be effective.

I cannot help thinking that this was a reflection on their own work in the past, because they could not produce a boy who would last out eight or ton days in camp without go- , ing to pieces. I think that is only a', reasonable inference.” j \ No more grinding of teeth with . ] WADE'S WORM FTOfv j{
