A Funny Game.
A few friends met the other night in a Newtown store to spend a joval evening, but as they were all teetotallers and none of them drank anything stronger than Clements Tonic, drunkenness was out of the question. Mac proposed a game at euchre, and Jones said they had better p 1 ay for something just to give the game an interest and make it lively, but times were hard, bo they;did not cave to play for money. Smith, however, spied a box of Fletcher's billions and liver pills, and proposed that each time a man was beaten he should take a pill, and this made the game lively and the fun fast and' furious. Simpson swallowed five, Jones got away with four and Smith and Hopkins two eaoh and Mac got off scot free. The game terminated by a general exodus at 3 p.m. for Dr Fletcher's pills never labour in vain. They are the best anl mildest pills made and are sold by all chemists and druggist every where : being a positive, safe, and reliable cure for constipation, liver complaint, headache <fro.
