The night before he had been relat- ing to Carter some of the famous stories of gullible Assemblymen and the clock in the galiery, and he wondered if the joke | would work on the forewarned member from Los Angeles. He wrote on scented paper the following note: I Mr, Carter: An old friend and admirer walts to see you behind the clock in the gallery. ALICE. ‘When Carter had read the note handed to him by a page, he smoothed his coat down complacently and at once started | for the gallery. Cowan and other mem- bers spread the word, and presently when Carter appeared beside the clock in full view of the Assembly, a puzzled look on bis face, the row of clerks and Assembly- men at the front desks greeted him with a laugh that caused his speedy disappear- ance from their sight. A few minutes later the disconcerted statesman came upon the floor of the As- sembly, and as he walked to his seat he glanced up surreptitiously at the gallery, still looking for ““Alice.” Those 'who knew of Cowan’s joke turned toward Carter whole Assembly was in an uproar as the “Jim"” Oliver was calling the roll on a passage of a bill and his contortionist attempts to sup- | press his laughter added still further to the general hilarity. Carter made no more speeches during | the day's session, and it will be many a day before he hears the last of his ficti- tious admirer ““Alice.” SENATE PASSES HEALTH BILL.

ES ALL SKIN DISEASES: I am positive that this is the best Toilet Soap ever made. I know it because it is the result of a long series of experiments to secure the best at any cost. I know that it will soften the roughest skin, that it will cure chapped hands and lips in a single night, and I know that mothers will say it is just what baby’s delicate body needs. If your hands are rough, try it; if you have facial blemishes, try it; if you have dandruff, try it; if you wish your skin to be soft as velvet, try it. Itis absolutely free from those poisonous animal fats from which most toilet soaps are made. It does not contain one atom of those destructive alkalies which burn, torture and irritate the skin. I am offering this Soap to the public at the price of 15 cents for a large cake, and 5 cents for a trial cake. Those who have tried my remedies—my Cold Cure, my Rheumatism Cure and my other specifics for various diseases—will not ask any further indorsement of this Soap than that the name of Munyon is stamped upon it. My remedies may be had at all drug stores, mostly 25 cents, or Twenty-sixth and Broadway, New York city —MUNYON.
