Dr. Christoe must be either KT.souul or nothing. He teems to lave a great 1'hobca for other doctors who have an}' political aspirations." Now what is the use of you telling such barefaced falsehoods, Jerome '.' )r.

When the (in y U. \ir\v or any oth. i i :ijn r say that one of Mr. Meiv- lr.ii s cries is "No pop' ry," it simply EM, that's all.

These are bought from some of the best manufacturers in Ontario, and are equal to anything show- ing in this line and quite new. , IN GENTS' WEAR I have a very stylish lot of Buff, Calf, Dongo'.a and Kid, Bal- moral and Gaters, also strong lace boots.
