If horses could make themselves UNDER
stood in human language, they would signify
by an universal "yea" their ascent to the
statement that the Mustang Liniment is the
best remedy extant for all these external ali
ments, and by a most emphatic "neigh"
show their disp.easure at every attempt to
use any other preparation in its stead. Ever
since its introduction at St. Louis, at the
close of the Mexican war, in 1919, it has
proved signal blessing to horse and man
curing with absolute certainty and wonderful
dispatch, such equine diseases as SPAWN, ring.
bone, poll-evil, scratches, hoofale, &C., and
relieving and finally removing the painful
affections which attack the muscles, sinews,
and external glands of human beings. II is
a fact beyond contradiction that for all inju-
ries or complaints of man or quadrupeds to
which an external remedy is applicable, the
Mustang Liniment is preferable to every
other. eod&w

OF this is, that the part not at once GOV.

fat just the same as il it had never been

LOTTIE'S APRIL FOOL
BUNDLE.
BY :. ANNIE FROST,


II was the first day OF April, clear.
bright. and windy. The first OF April,
he it known. was observed with due
pomp and ceremony 10 iianover The
strae al NY stnry. That is to say, bays
chalkod each others jackets, lelt "hogus"
packages of goods on doorsteps, mailed
absurd letters, and played ali sorts oi
hOnOrcd tricks upon each other and the
g.nWHUiiy afGund them. Doubtless
there Was fun" for the perpetrators oi
the je>t>, or they would have been allow
ed To die natural death, but whether
the lun was as eRli.eiy appreciated by
the victims may be reasonably question
ed
Tn the first OF April. 1867, (l like To be
particular about dates), Miss Loltie vii
kinson MAS demureiy walking up the
main street of Hanover, with . little par.
Gel In her hands containing buttons Tor n
new dress. Dress and buttons were OF
great Importance to my little heroine, for
money WAS by no means bountifully sup
piled in her well worn portmopnaIe, and
/ 3 new dress was rather an event IN her
daily life. She WAS walking quietly
/ along thinking that if her dress was
/ chosen OF sober mouse color tor econo-
my's sake. at least the buttons and braid
were blue as her awn eyes, and would
match the blue ribbons OF her hat very
nicely. Then she wondered if Bert Gill
more would see her on Sunday in the
new suit, and il he admired the combina-
ton of mouse color anl blue in . walk
ing dress, With such absorbing topics
/ tor meditation, it was rot wonderful that
Loitie had forgotten entirely the day OF
the month, and stopped with surprise
and the pleasure of a discorerer, be-
before bundle lying across the side
walk, evidently dropped by some one in
advance of her. She looked up the
street and down, but no one was near
enough to be questioned, so she stopped
and lifted ;he package, adding 1t to heI
own bundle, and continuing on her way
homeward, hurrying little that she
might examine her acquisition.
"See. mamma. what | have found in
the street !"
Ii was not very tempting looking
bundle that she held up; not u neatly tied
dry goods package, or Il white paper
covered c0niectioner's store of sweets
Ii was earelessly wrapped newspaper
covered package, rather long and narrow
and not vely large. Still. there VIA:
rather an exulting ring in Lottie's tone
as she cried; See. mamma, what
found in the street,"
Her face fell as shout came from he
brother Tom. lad Of ten, who looket
up, and, before her mother could answer
shouted: april Fool! D Loltie what I
goosei I'll bet there's nothing in it bu
straw, or rags, or old newspapers. Oper

"Humph All! Oh ~
My pen can give no idea OF the intona-

Suddenly the old man got up, the will
IN his hand, and stood before Lotte.
Miss Charlotte Wilkinson he said
