One afternoon a stranger alighted from a train at a hustling provincial town, and headed up the street. Finally he met a. -man who looked like a native. “Pardon me,” said the stranger, “are you a resident of this town ?” "Yes, sir,” was the ready rejoined of the other. "I have been here something like fifty years. What can I do for you ?” "I am looking for a criminal lawyer.” responded the stranger. “Have you one here ?” “Well,” said the native, reflectively, "we think we have, but we can’t prove it on him.” I’m an “Alice in Wonderland” sort of girl With a wonderful lesson to learn, I’ve bobbed my hair, I’m “ warming a chair ” In the ruck of a Tivoli turn. I sing myself hoarse in the chorus, of course—’Tis a terrible strain to endure. Before an encore, .while they’re yelling for more.. I take Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
