Renaming the report tliat Mr. J. J. Meikl© had inherited a fortune of £60,000, the Wellington Tree Lance saws:—“The story of the fortune is quite romantic. One of Mcikle s'grandfathers went to America: a good many years ago and did remarkably well, and recently a relative of Mr. Meiklo’s in. West Virginia died-and left behind lnm £6O 000 for some fortunate member of the Meikle family. The upshot has been that Mr. J.. J. Meiklo has received a. letter from the clerk of the County Court at Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, calling attention to the fortune. Probably it will happen early in the new year that Mr. Meikle will cease work as a lumpei ; on the Queen’s wharf and sail away to the Golden West to make good for that little load of Virginia dollars.” You never have headache? How fortunate ! Some of your friends are less lucky no doubt. Do them a service—tell them Stearns’ Headache Cure stops the pain quickly. Is a box.
