James J. Hines, the Tammany leader, received a four to eightyear prison sentence, a severe blow no doubt.

A Petnisylvaiiia man was sus peeled of operating a 'still and when oSceia called at his home it was found that he did have such equipment but used It to boil cherry bark for cough syrup for his 15 children. He'd need two stills and all the home remedies lie could make if they all got whooping cough at the same time.

For forty-four years there * had been au intimate companion-, ship which ia dlffii till to break Always we looked to him for encounigement and advice and always we found his counsel wise' and based oti sound good sense. 1 He was more than a friend; he was a pal. sincere, worthwhile' dependable.
