Mr.. PeduncIe and His Cow.


Mr.. Peduncle went out to milk, the
other day. Now, if there is one thing
Mr.. Peduncle prides himself upon, it
is his perfect command of cow.
With his bucket on the ground he
milks with both hands and sings
meanwhile, occasionally bestowing
word of warning upon the COW If she
whisks her tail onhim or tries to scrat, b
her back with her hind foot. On this
occasion he had nearly finished, and
was singing cheerfully:
"My soul $50, now be on thy guard,
What in the Egyptian sand-hills ails
the cow?)
"Ten thousand (hunder and borax!
stand stilD foes arise"-
And as Mr.. Peduncle raised himself
up from the barn floor and wiped the
milk out of his ears and nose, he saw
up in the loft the wife of his bosom
with long switch in which she had
been tickling the gentle animals
nose, and she said in an awful voice:
"Oliver Peduncle, reckon you'll
wrap your old tobacco box again next
Sunday, won't We? and have me take
it to church and sling it out on the
floor-hey?"
When he milks now, Mr.. Peduncle
sings very softly and keeps one eye on
the loft.-Chicdgo Courier.

A Widely Applicable Remedy.

Few remedies are applicable to such wide
range of disorders as Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, and this not because it has special
properties adapted to the cure of each-such
a pretence would be manifestly absurd-but
on account of its wonderfully improving eff
feet upon the general tone of the system, and
its Alternative action upon the organs of nutri-
ton, secretion and discharge. Besides its
we'll known properties as a remedy for inter-
mittent and remittent fevers, dysp apsia con-
stipaion, torpidity of the liver, general debil-
ity, urinary and uterine difficulties, il invaii-
ably proves to be highly serviceable in over
coming anoemia, a,hypochrondri ia,rheumatism,
insomnia, and many other disorders and dis
abilities originating in poverty or impurity of
the blood, nervous weakness or ovel l-excite-
ment, or an imperfect performance Of the

Female Fortitude.

A singular case has been developed
at the Maryland University Hospital.
A young woman of intelligence and
respectfully connected, who has been
treated for an incurable abdominal af-
fection, requested that after her death
her body be dissected for the benefit
of science. In letter to Resident
Physician Ashby, she says: AS my
death must speedily result from
causes which have baff1led science
and confused the best medical minds,
l desire that you shall perform upon
my body, after death, an examination,
and ascertain what it is that has ter
minated my life. Irequest that such
examination shall be made privately
and respectfully by yourself and few
of your medical students and medic al
friends. l have furthermore urged
my parents to allow such an examin-
alton, and to inform you at once as to
my death, in case of such an event,
since shall go to my home from the
Hospital to pass the remainder of my
days. A post mortem examination
can do me no possible harm, and 1t
may benefit science, and through it
some other unfortunate affected like
myself. Moreover, / desire in this
manner to express the gratitude / feel
to the many medical men who have
labored for my relief. Lastly; it is .
duty owe to my sex and my God"
She will leave the Hospital and re-
turn home in the city, and IN the
event of her death her request will be
complied with by the physicians
named in her will.

the public the celebrated botonical prepara-

I0frerson Davis On RepudIatIOn.


The New York Evening Post pub
liahes q private letter from Jefferson
Davis to a lady in that city concerning
his alleged connection with repudia-
ton in Mississippi. He says.
II had no more to do with repudla-
ton by Mississippi of the bonds issued
than either of you had. | was sent to
college when boy; frem college went
to West Point, from West Point into
the army, and served on the Indian
frontier until 1886, when / married
and left the army. l took up my res
idence 10 a very retired place, distant
from the country in which my father
lived and where | had been reared, so
that was a stranger in Mississippi,
seldom leaving the canebrake IN which
lived, when, in 1896, the last Of these
notorious bonds were issued.
1t was seven years thereafter before
| was brought into any political dis
cnssion. and then only in the county
in which / resided. Before that time
--18553-the famous Union Bank bonds
had been repudiated, and though the
question still entered into party poll
tics it had little more than an histori-
cal existence.
Upon the question as a politico-
moral one | opposed the doctrine Of
Reputation, insisting that govern
ments, like individuals, when claims
were made against them, had no right
to make any other issue than one Of
fact. Is there debt, or is there not 2
For that publicly declared opinion
the party of regulators made war
upon me in the beginning of my polit-
zeal life, using both sfratagem and
concentration Of theta forces TO defeat
my nomination for Congress in 1916.
When the Federsl government
sought to discredit the Confederacy
in foreign markets, they sent - to
England to represent me as a repueia-
tor. No man knew better than he the
falsity Of his representations, for he was
an active politician in Mississippi when
reputation occurred, and il was years
afterwards before he knew of my ex.
istence.
