"We have a large number of visitors
daily,'' remarked Prof. Chancy, of the
State Historical society. "The nuui-.
her is greater now owing to the
Minneapolis exposition. I don't
know why, but it is a fact, that
during fair: week and the Minne
apolis exposition the attendance of
visitors always reaches its highest point.
Any person may come and inspect the
historic curios boarded within tins'
building: but. of course, the chief work
of this department is the filing of news
papers of the state. Our file in this
respect is almost complete, and con
tains in many instances the only avail
able copies. These may prove very use
ful some day for the establishment of
the identity of any person or the con
nection of any historical fact."
A well-known man about town was in
a meditative mood last evening, as he
stood well within the shade of a friendly
doorway to protect himself from threat-
ened droppings from the clouds. "Do
you know." said he, as a trio of girls
whose wan faces and gaudy finery con
trasted but too evidently with their
forced gaietv, passed by, "that I have
often noticed that in disagreeable
weather the girls are upon the streets
after dark in larger numbers than dur
ing pleasant weather. Now. during the
last twenty minutes I have "seen at least
twice that many young women go by.
And the explanation, after all, is a very
simple one. The poor girls, in common
with their more fortunate fellow men
and women, are subject to the blues,
and are compelled to try and get away
from themselves. Hence, they natur
ally seek the brightness and glare of
the streets in preference to the desola
tion and cheerlessness of their rooms.

"1 say, Eveline, this ere caboose noes
faster than money does" nowadays," was
the remark made by Mr. Moss back, from
the rural districts, to his spouse soon
after they had boarded a cable car on
West Fourth street yesterday afternoon.
"See here. Josh, tell the manager of
this thing to stop when he gets to that
hill, and we'll get out and walk. 1
ain't got no confidence in this machine."
"No, you sit still; we'll walk coming
back," was the consoling reply of her
lord, who by '.his time showed signs of
great internal excitement. This was
their first ride on the cable, which fact
they further demonstrated to the amuse
ment of all on board. When the car
reached the foot of Selby avenue hill
and the gripman stopped the car,
preparatory to ascending the incline,
''Josh," who had been unnerved nearly to
prostration by the screeching, rumbling
noise, so much like that of his old
thrashing machine, made hard work of
keeping ids seat, and spasmodically
clutched the clothing of the nervous
Eveline. She was evidently thinking of
how her poor pigs and chickens would
suffer, it she should be killed on such a
cold-blooded arrangement. There was
a jerk, shove, pull and kick, accom
panied by thai vomiting, coal-bin noise
winch gave Eveline the horror, and the
car accomplished the ascent. "Ge-gosh
welters!" sUdeked Josh in choking
tone.-: while poor Eveline buried her
hea i in her shawl, and probably prayed.
The gripman assured Josh that all
was safe, which statement be was in
clined to believe: but no sooner had
they reached the top of the hill than
Mrs. Mossback pushed Josh and his
baggage off the car, and was heard to
jay something '" the good old vernacu
lar, assuring those that heard it that
Josh and Eveline would never entertain
another audience on a cable car.

Two Boston capitalists, Messrs. Peter
S. and Jacob W. Huberts, for the past
few weeks have been looking over the
wheat region of ♦"e Northwest with a
view to making, estments in this sec
tion "of the United States. They are
among the largest flour and pork deal
ers at the Hub. and many train loads of
Minnesota products are annually con
signed- to them. As a result of their
observations they have come to the con
clusion that the stories told of the wheat
belt have not been exaggerated ill the
slightest, and they have returned to
their Eastern home fully imbued with
the idea that the proper field for invest
ment lies in the garden lands embraced
in .Minnesota and Dakota territory.

A large party of admirers of Gen.
Harrison from* Duiuth and Tower,
passed through Si. Paul yesterday en
route for Indianapolis to call upon the
Republican candidate for president.
The party consisted of W. H.Cruicfcs

Charlie A. Nichols, Frank Burke, Jr.,
S. F. White and Page Morris, of Duiuth,
and .1. B. Noble, Charles L. White. W.

cars were handsomely decorated with a
profusion of red, white and blue bunt
ing, the legends "Harrison, Morton,
Merriam and Protection" below and
'•Vermilion Iron Range" above the win
dows on either side being conspicuous.
They departed for the Past at 7:30

The boys are telling a pretty good
story on one of the stockholders of the
celebrated Punter Mining company.
The hobby of the gentleman in question
is the Hunter mine. He fairly dotes on
the subject, and the man who would
make a warm friend of him has but to
say a good word regarding the mine,
and fulsome praise has always met
with its reward in the shape of a
friendly '•horn." This generosity of
the mine owner became known pretty
generally among the boys and they
worked the racket for all it was worth.
But It was too much of a snap to last
long, for one day a practical joker of
the number gave it away. The mine
owner determined to give" the next man
who approached him with blarney a
surprise. lb proved to be one who had
actually heard some authentic and re
liable information concerning the Hun
ter mine, and hastened in all serious
ness to convey the good news to his
friend. A smile of fiendish glee lit up
the mine owner's face as the gentleman
with the news commenced dishing it
out to him. His countenance seemed
to say. •Til ml you." When the gen
tleman finished and looked up to the
mine owner for some sign of approba
tion, what was his surprise when the
latter leaned over and shouted iu his
car at the top of his voice, "Rats!"
Said a patron of the People's theater
last evening: "The management of
this cosy little place of amusement
would confer a great favor on all who
attend if it would send out its fool
tiiler into the lobby and dispatch those
chattering idiots who will insist on

The old fifteen puzzle has been re
vived temporarily, and the Republican
candidates for the various county of
fices are responsible for the reappear
ance of this mastodouic chestnut. To
sum it up briefly there is not a suffi
ciency of population in the city to go
round in the distribution of county of
fices if all of the candidates develop
strength commensurate with their esti
mates last evening. The ancient para
ble of the loves and the fishes would,
if such were the case, sink into insig
nificance beside the magnificent aggre
gation of talent which will be spread
upon the roster at the county conven
tion to-day. There are slates and
slates, and it would require a shrewd
politician
TO NAME PROBABLE WIXXEKS.
There are two opposing wings among
the county Republicans of the North
Star state, and as the clans began gath
ering at an early hour yesterday they
were speedily brought to a realiza
tion of that fact. The kids
and the mossbacks have been
for some months antagonistic, and
naturally when they began to confer
yesterday morning they were con
fronted at the outset with the embar
rassment of chosing a permanent chair
man. Dan Aberle represents the moss
backs and is an ardent Scheffer man,
while Henry Johns is not only a kid but
is the adherent of W. If. "Merriam, the
recognized champion of the silk-stock
ing element of the e. o. p.
The contest of the day will he be
tween the candidates for sheriff and
register of deeds. But the permanent
chairman of the convention will have
the nam'ngof the county committee for
the ensuing two years, and will also ap
point the committee on credentials,
which will involve a
VAST DISTBIBUnOH OF PATKOXAGE.
For this reason the various candidates
in the fight for the important offices
within the province of the convention
are striving for the control of the nomi
nation for the permanent chairman
• ship.
It will, however, make little differ
ence who the mantle may fall upon, for
the slate, as agreed upon, will be, to all
outward appearances, subject to little
change. M. J. Bell has seemingly a
clear field for the nomination for regis
ter of deeds, and will probably succeed
himself as the nominee of- the conven
tion to-dav. Bitt might have secured
the nomination had it not been tor the
fact that he will apparently be unable
to carry the bloody Ninth. Both he and
Osborn are undoubtedly strong in the
First ward, hut the former will be fear
ful of antagonizing the latter for fear
of possible defection by the Scandi
navians. In the Ninth be will lose, for
the reason that be was unable to come
squarely out and indorse the First
ward".- nominee
FOB THE BOEBXFF'S I'UM.
The committee on credentials will
have the ultimate disposition of two
contesting delegations to handle. The
First and Second precincts of the Fifth
ward are up in arms and are in the fight
for blood, which statement Is equally
true of the Second and Third precincts
of the First ward. The details of the
contest in the former ward were fully
ventilated in yesterday morning's
Globe, and are based upon tampering
with the virginal purity of the ballot
box. This contest mainly concerns the
Bean and Miller contest for sheriff. In
the latter ward, however, the Bell men
claim that Bitt had his brother-in-law
in as one of the judges and that his
official dignity was prostituted to such
an extent that Bitt was unable to carry
the primary.
Dan Aberle is allied with the interests
of Sheriff EUehter, and to the surprise of
many II. B. Willis has suddenly and
with no apparent provocation Hopped
over from the kids to the mossbacks,
and is now firmly identified with the
1XTEKESTS Of THE oi.I>-Tl.\li:i:s.
The absence of Mr. Willis from his
accustomed place is viewed with some
alarm by his hitherto steadfast friends,
as be was regarded as one of the bul
warks of kid Republicanism. But he is
mad— real mad— K. E. McDonald,
who is advancing Henry Johns' claims
as permanent chairman. Last spring
McDonald disappointed Mr. Willis by
not appointing him on the committee,
and now the latter is exercising his un
questioned prerogative, and is getting
even.
The nominations will be made in the
following order: six county commis
sioners, county auditor, county treas
urer, register of deeds, sheriff, county
attorney, judge of probate, surveyor,
court commissioner, superintendent of
schools, and coroner.
Osborne will probably be nominated
for county auditor. Hell for register of
deeds, and Miller on a combination for
sheriff. Miller will probably be nomi
nated for sheriff in order to strengthen
the German wing of the party, although
Harris or Ricbter are possible nomi
nees. If either Bichter or Miller are
nominated; however, it will probably
be a death blow for Zahlman for judge
of probate, and Morrison will lie nomi
nated in his stead. The Bell men, how
ever, claim (>.") votes on the first ballot,
which will be
A TEST OF STr.EXGTH.
In spite of all talk to the contrary,
however, superficial indications point
towards the fact that Capt, E. S. Bean
is; by no means out of the race for
sheriff. A large following from "Co.
D" are among the delegates, and his
strength may develop to a surprising
degree to-day on the floor of the. con
vention.
Osborne has been spoken of . as pos
sible timber for the nomination for
auditor in order to catch the Scandina
vian vote. Each ambitious possible
candidate has united upon that gentle
man, and has been- perfectly willing to
pledge to him liTs Strength as a candi
date. As the day wore "oh,
however, it was discovered that

numerous henchmen had been
making rash promises, which
could not be fulfilled, and as the sun
sank lower and lower. it was currently
mooted that Sheriff Bichter had been
particularly rash in his promises, and
had agreed to throw his strength to each
individual candidate for the other offices.
But the sheriff, though ever present
about the Merchants last evening, de
clined to state his preference for the
other offices, and kept close consulta
tion with Dan Aberle.
Capt. Burger is prominently men
tioned in connection with the county
treasurership, and will solidify the
ticket with the German element, but
conflicting rumors consign his cause to
oblivion, and it is impossible to tell the
outcome of the deliberations and com
binations to-day.
INDIANS AND POLITICS.
Two Pertinent Subjects Treated
of by an Expert.
Indian Inspector Morris A. Thomas,
who, as a friend of Senator Gorman, of
Maryland, was the subject of a bitter
discussion in the senate of the United
States, a few years ago, was among the
arrivals at the Byau yesterday. He
has been on a tour of inspection through
the Indian Territory. Nebraska and
Dakota, and made his headquarters re
cently at Sisseton. "During the dis
cussion of the Sioux treaty," said In
spector Thomas, "it was proposed to
have certain of the Santee Sioux come
over and talk with their brethren at
Lower Brule agency. This was opposed
by ( 'apt. Pratt, who contended that
their presence would only com
plicate matters and nothing would
be gained by such a course.
Everything that diplomacy or human
ingenuity could suggest was resorted
to. but all to no avail. The Sioux were
obdurate and the negotiations failed ut
terly. The prospect of an excursion to
Washington and a visit to the Great
Father exercised a potent influence
over the wily Sioux, for they are not
averse to such expeditions, especially
at the expense of the government, and
when this is accomplished they may
prove more tractable and amenable to
reason than they were on the reserva
tion.
In the progress of my inspection trip
I found everything in" proper shape at
the various reservations and no com
plaints, an unusual thing, were made by
the Indians, with whom 1 was brought
in contact. Naturally enough all
through Dakota there was but one topic
uppermost in the minds of the Sioux
and that was in regard to giv
ing up their reservation. I was
not sanguine of the success
of the commission from the outset,
knowing as I did the character of the
people withwhom they would be brought
in contact, but now that the base of
operations has been transferred to the
capital more definite results may be
aimed at.
Politics then came up in the course of
the conversation, and it was the Im
pression of Mr. Thomas thai Indiana
would prove easier to carry for Presi
dent Cleveland In this campaign than
politicians imagined. "Even it New
New Jersey and Connecticut should
fail us," he continued, "New York and
Indiana, with the electoral votes from
the South, will
SETTLE RAJUUSOX'fl ASPIKATIOXS.
"The Democratic party is very differ
ent I v situated to-dav from what it was
four years ago. Take Blaine's canvass,
for instance. He was making a
circuit, and it was important to
ascertain the sentimeiitsjof the peo
ple in the places which he hail
planned to visit. For that purpose
a staunch Democrat was sent ahead of
the Plumed Knight, usually one day in
advance, to talk with the people and
feel the popular pulse. That was an
idea of Senator Gorman' i.and it worked
like a charm, all the details being sent
in at once to the Democratic national
committee. There is no necessity for
such work in the present campaign for
the reason that our party Is in power,
and Democratic officeholders are, relied
upon to furnish this class of informa
tion. Besides, the Republican candi
date is not making an electioneering
tour and the national committee is
thereby enabled to concentrate its ef
forts with the most gratifying results.
Organization in the ranks of the Democ
racy has been the principal feature of
the campaign thus far, and will present
a solid front and well-disciplined army
when the Ides of November are reached.
An effort has been made to magnify the
recent visit of Senator Gorman to New
York, as tending to show that demorali
zation was feared in the Democratic
phalanx, but there is not the slightest
foundation for such a statement or
theory. There has been no trouble as
reported between Chairman I.rice and
the leaders of his party, and the talk of
his being succeeded by Hon. \Y. 11. Bar
man is the veriest moonshine. It is. of
course, to the interest of the opposition
to make it appear that discord exists
among our managers, but we will fool
them election day, with the unanimity
with which we will march to the "Kills
for President Cleveland and a second
term of good government, not in favor
of a class, but for the people irrespec
tive of race, creed or previous condition
of servitude.''
••
CHUKCH TROUBLES ENDED.
Elder Gray's Farewell Sermon to
His Congregation.
The trouble in the Pilgrim Baptist
church seems at last lobe in a fair way
of settlement, Elder Gray having re
signed the pastorate and stepped down
and out. It is stated that fifty-one mem
bers of the congeegation who have sup
ported him during the turbulence have
petitioned the church for letters of
withdrawal in order that they may or
ganize another society, "practicing and
teaching," says the petition, "nothing
but the doctrine of the New Testa
ment."'
Elder Gray delivered his farewell
sermon yesterday afternoon in the
presence of a "large congregation;
receiving his inspiration from the ninth
and tenth verses of the eighteenth chap
ter of the Acts of the Apostles: "Then
spake the Lord to Paul in the night by
a vision: Be not afraid, but speak, ana
hold not thy peace. For I am with thee,
and no mail shall set on thee, to hurt
thee; for 1 have much people in this
city." i'-c ~:~ *-'-'
The discourse was little more than a
review of the dissensions that have
arisen in the church, in which
the elder endeavored to show,, that
he and his followers had been
ever in the right, and their opponents
as continuously in the wrong. He also
dwelt at {length upon the work he had
done in the church, having placed the
society on a good financial basis and
under his administration increased the
membership about us per cent, lie con
cluded his sermon by reading a severe
lecture to the congregation, in which lie
criticised everybody and everything
fOXXKCTF.O WITH TUB CHUB* H.
"There are at least six persons in "the
Pilgrim Baptist church," he remarked,
"who mast either be converted to God
or turned out of the society, for it will
be necessary for Almighty God
to create a preacher who can
preside over this church. You are
not willing to accept a leader. Every
member of the church wants to be a
brigadier-general, and there are none
who will act as privates. The church
will never prosper until you can learn
to agree among yourselves. I do not
believe that anything but death would
harmonize the forty-eight members of
this congregation who are opposing me.
I've had too much opposition fiom the
ministry— not the intelligent, but the
. licentiate ministry, young men of the
church who want to be preachers,
but who have not the necessary
brains or education."
The service closed with a hymn and
benediction. after which the pastor re
quested ids friends io come forward,
shake hands, and make such dona io s
as they might wish. Many complied,
With the invitation of the departing
shepherd and several left substantial
tokens of their regard in the shape of
liberal financial contributions.

BY ORDER OF THE POPI
Requiem Mass Celebrated for Souls i
. Purgatory.
SOMBER ALTAR ... DRAPINGS
Close of the Ceremonies Attendant Upoi
the Jubilee— Three Classes of Souls
Described by a Priest
In all the Catholic churches of thii
city and throughout the world masses
of requiem were offered yesterday foi
suffering souls in purgatory in accord
ance with the late encyclical letter ol
Pope Leo. A pontifical mass of requieir
was celebrated at the cathedral at 10:30,
Archbishop Ireland officiating. The
other sacred offices were filled as fol
lows: Assistant priest, Rev. J. J. Law*
ler; deacon, Rev. James Fitzpatrick;
subdeacon, Rev. James Trainor; assist
ant deacons, Rev. James Byrne and
Edward Windisch; cross-bearer, Rev.
John Sullivan; master of ceremonies,
Rev. John Shanley. It was a solemn
and oppressive occasion. The appear
ance of the church from that of Thurs
day was different as it could be.
The tokens of joy and gladness
of that day were nowhere appar
ent, and in their place were trappings
of woe and sadness. The church was
in mourning. The altars were divested
of flowers and adornments, and the only
brightness notable came from the rays
of light shed by half a dozen wax tapers.
The front of the altar with a pall of
black cloth, the antlpendium relieved
somewhat of its somberness by a white
cross worked on its center. The organ
pealed forth no joyous anthems, but in
stead the low muffled minor tones of the
requiem mass
SWELLED THROUGH THE CHlTRCn.
The clergy were robed in their black
vestments only used when masses for
the dead are said. The sermon was
preached by Rev. J. J. Lawler, who
took his text "Have Pity on Me for the
Hand of the Lord lias Smitten Me."
"In whatever season we consider the
festivals of the church," he said, "relig
ion always reminds us of the end which
we are created for, impresses us with
the frailty of humankind and bids
us be mindful of the hereafter.
Truly it is a blessing for us to share in
the blessings of grand festivals. As
there are no days so solemn sad as those
upon which some one near and dear to
us departs this life, so there are no days
so consoling to our hearts as those set
aside for prayer and supplication for
loved ones gone before. Not a day
passes that masses are not offered up
for some poor soul, not a year goes
round that the 2d of November is not
set apart for the souls in bondage.
What is the reason that our altars are
black to-day, that the music is mourn
ful? This is something exceptional. It
is because the Holy Father has sent
forth his edict to all lands to pray lor
the dead—a fitting ceremony for the
completion of his golden" jubilee.
In compliance with His command we
gladly mingle our prayers with the
millions of others that go up from all
parts of the globe to-day and we cry out
in humble supplication: "Eternal rest
give unto them () Lord and let eternal
light shine upon them." We are taught
that the state of individuals in the
world to come depends upon the condi
tion of the soul at
THE MOMEXTOF m!ATir. .
Three abodes await the millions who
depart this lite. Some end this life in
a state of mortal sin and woe eternal is
their portion. The souls of those who
die m baptismal innocence will possess
joy forever. Hut knowing that only
the pure, the perfect, enter the king
dom of heaven, and that God will
exact reparation for every idle
word, we naturally ask what is to
become of those who die in venial sin'.'
Who can hope to pass .through. this
world without some of its defilement on
their souls? What wonder is it that
saints taught that not one in a thousand
go straight to heaven. What then shall
become of this third class? Will they
go to eternal blessedness or eternal pun
ishment? What human judgment
would inflict the same punishment for a
trivial offense as for willful murder.
According lo the teaching of our church.
a third place is reserved for these—
purgatory. Besides the existence of
purgatory, we are taught that souls are
kept there by the suffrages of the faith
ful. 'Twas this same doctrine that led
Judas Maccabeus to offer up prayers
for his soldiers who had perished.
The Greeks and Romans also believed
in this doctrine. Though these souls
are sure one day of seeing God, yet
their Bufferings are keen anil searching
beyond the power of words. Great
saints have not hesitated to say that all
the torments of the martyrs were as
nothing compared to the pains of pur
gatory. Aside from the pain of sense,
the meat punishment is in being de
prived of God's presence—
THE FAIN OF BANISHMENT.
Willi their eyes turned toward heaven
they repeat: "How long shall I be de
tained here, where every moment seems
an age'.'" And the answer comes
back: "Thou shall not go forth
until the last farthing is paid."
"Oh, it is a terrrible thing to fall into
the hands of the living God." Will
ingly would we imagine that all our
friends and relatives are enjoying
God's kingdom, but if the barrier were
removed, we would see among the suf
fering crowd those near and dear to us.
Friends of ours are there, benefactors
as well. Yes. and perhaps a father,
mother, sister or brother, and all those
send up the cry: "Have pity on me,
for the hand of the Lord has smitten
me." How have we responded to this
call? We may be still willing to voice
their noble deeds and erect costly
monuments of brass and marble.
Brethren, all these are praiseworthy,
but of themselves of no avail to suffer
ing souls. They should live in our
prayers and good works. Oh, the cruel
forgetfulness of the dead for the living!
our incense of prayer should arise in
their behalf for they are utterly in
capable of helping themselves, but He
has left in our power the means of
lightening their burdens.
CHRIST'S CHARACTER.
President Northrop Discusses Its
Human Discipline.
"What think you of Christ? Whose
son is He?" An eloquent sermon,
based unon these words— Matt, xxii.,
42— was delivered in the Plymouth Con
gregational church yesterday morning
by Dr. Cyrus Northrop, president of the
state university. There was a large
congregation present, and the discourse
attracted considerable attention, Dr.
Northrop outlining the life of the
Savior in a lucid and charming man
ner. His desire was to present some
thoughts respecting the human life of
Jesus, and to emphasize especially the
human side of his character. In doing
so he hoped to establish among them
more sympathy with Jesus as the Son
of Man, and inspire more complete con
fidence in His mercy and love as the
Son of God. Jesus' life on earth was
not a dramatic representation; every
scene prepared especially for artistic
effect. It was a real human life: for
verily. He took not on Him the nature
of aunels, as He might have done, but
the seed of "Wherefore in
all things it behooved Him to be made
like unto men." Any. view which
regarded Jesus from first to last
not human— without human limita
tions—would, make the whole career of
Jesus a sham. Why was He born in a
manger? Why did lie lead a humble
life? "And why His whole career one of
humility and sorrow? Was "it a pre
tense or was It a real discipline'.' The
preacher continued . the argument,
showing that it was a reality in the de
velopment ot Christ's i.uman life, so
that lie would better fitted to appre
ciate the sorrows, of the poor from His
own experience.' The discipline of
Jesus, like the discipline of any other
! .man. was. intended to tit. Him "for His
j work. Truly, in Jesus we have not a
I High Priest that has not been touched
Ewith the feelings of oar infirmities, but
one that has been in all points tempted
as we are, yet without sin. Jesus has
. lived our life, He knows our sorrows,

THE YIELD UNEVEN.
The Good and Usui Adjoin in the
Wheat Districts.
Though a little strange, it is the fact
that some farmers are getting a fair
yield of wheat which will go No. 1
hard, while others in the same immedi
ate vicinity may have had a
field of wheat that was barely
worth cutting, suggests the Red
Lake Falls News. There has
been a number of such cases that have
come under our observation, and from
reports throughout the county, west of
here, when: they have threshed, the
same condition of the crop is general.
As the price for wheat is now
pretty good, and still on the
rise, these farmers that are blessed
with a good crop will have
reason to feel rich tins fall, while the
i unlucky ones whose crop failed, will
| have as good reason to feel poor. We
I are glad to announce, however, that
there are very few of the unfortunate
ones through the county east and
southeast of Red Lake Falls; there Is
scarcely any one but what has . a
I fair * crop, and what wheat they .
have got is of good quality. It looks
considerably more encouraging since
! the fanners threshed, so that they can
see what they got, and in most instan
ces they are receiving a better grade
than they expected. There is no frozen
Wheat reported east or southeast of Bed
Lake Falls.

Get Hood's
If you decide to take Hood's Sarsaparilla
do not be induced to buy any other. Hood's
Sarsaparilla possesses, by virtue of Its
peculiar combination, proportion and prep
aration, curative power superior to any
other article of the kind before the people.
" I had been taking Hood's Sarsaparilla
for dyspepsia, and in one store where I
went to buy a bottle the clerk tried to in
duce me to buy their own Instead of Hood's;
he told me tbeir's would last longer; that I
might take It on ten days' trial; that if I
did not like it I need not pay anything, etc.
But he could not prevail on me to change.
I told him I knew what Hood's Sarsapa
rilla was. I had taken it, it agreed with
me, I was perfectly satisfied, and did not
want any but Hood's. I am glad to speak
a good word for this excellent medicine."
