CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Han Always Bought Jesse Eldredge, foreman of Judge 8. P. Thompson’s big farm near Parr, thought he nppehended a Rensselaer citizen In the act of stealing a brass steam gauge off an engine, and Jesse gave the offender a couple of boxed ears and then threw the boots into him in a fashion that caused the culprit to start Rensselaer-war da and never look back. It was rather speedy punishment, but Jssee thought it the proper kind under the circumstances. The reputation the Rensselaer man Is building up as a chronic dead beat, is the cause ol much delight at the process of punishment employed by Jesse.
