There are many who have never known
the blessing of strong nerves, having been
born with weak ones. Those who have,
and through disease or some other cause,
contrast, more fully appreeiafe tho magnf-
tude of that loss. The true way to repair 1t
is to invigorate the system through the me-
dunn Of improved digestion, secretion, and
body, three results invariably accomplished
by the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which insures the thorough conversion Of
the food into pure, nourishing blood, from
which the nerves, in common with every
other part of the bodily economy, gather
vigor, the grand prerequisite of health. The
great objection to sedatives and narcotics is
that they not only exert no tonic influence,
but are always followed by a hurtful reac-
ton. Such is far from being the case with
the Bitters, the primary action of which is
most salutary. and whose after effects are
beneficial in the extreme.

Women Voting In Utah.

The wife of ex-Secretary Black, Mrs.
Maxwell, Mrs. Ashman, Mrs. Lloyd,
Miss Genevieve Hartwel, and several
other Gentle ladies took an active part
in their respective precincts, and cleo
tioneered with the polygamous wives OF
the saints. They would argue the
point in this way: "Why, Mrs. -,
I'm astonished! How can you for mo-
ment think of voting for Cannon He
has four wives, and, being woman,
you know he can not love them all as he
ought to. He is brute! Take this
ticket and vote for Baskin, man who
does not believe in degrading women. :"
The Gentle ladies turned out in full
force, voted like men, and did all their
talking afterwards. The votes of sew
eral Mormon women were challenged
by Gentle men, who did so with ex-
treme courtesy and timidity. The wom-
en- are perfectly shocked, and SEEM
ed afraid of swearing to their voting
qualifications. Two of the wives of
Bishop Woolley were challenged, but
they swore stoutly enough to get their
votes in.-Letter to the San Francisco
Chronicle.

The Rev. Thomas Grayson, M. A.,
sat at the open window of his room at
the Ocean House, Newport, with his
feet upon the sill, his chair tilted lux
uriantly backward, and the blue smoke
of fragrant Partaga curling about his
head and floating gently out upon the
evening air. In full view from his win
dow there poured down the avenue be-
fore the hotel q throng of splendid
turning the beautiful street
into vast kaleidoscope of color and
motion, the counterpart Of which, it oc-
CURED to Grayson, could be found mo-
where else in the world. As he sat idly
gazing at the brilliant throng, and
wondering whether his boot-soles ap-
peared TO the best advantage from be-
low, his attention became riveted upon
. man upon the opposite side of the
street, whose strange actions caused
the Rev. Mr.. Grayson to remove his
cigar nom his lips and his feet from the
window, and to bend forward in an at
itude Of sudden interest. The individ-
nal in question stood under q tree,

"You haven't an inkling of what

him suddenly on the shoulder.
