Adel immediately threw his famous stick at it and missed, thereupon “ Lea” tried to shoot it and discovered his gun refused “ to work.” Gus Bopp, being one of those resource ful fellows that we hear so much about, all over, decided that some tal ow ap plied to the gun would put it in working order again. The^fox was told to wait hauer, Wilfrid Yonder Heydt. while the trio journeyed to the afore said refinery, got the tallow, applied i t ! to the gun, returned to the spot where i they had discovered Mr. Fox, took a | Thomas shot at him and now Eddie Ascoli is j mounting the second fox for the fa mous fox hunter, L.

A lawyer and a plumber look alike to me and they don’t look good either. A certain gentleman from Connecti cut once said “ God Almighty hates a quittor.” That’s the lawyer’s mot to—ditto the plumber. If you have no trouble, consult a lawyer—if you are in trouble consult a lawyer and get more. Is it because Freeport or some of the larger villages have a surplus of lawyers that we are having such things brought to our notice!
