The check, Of course, couldn't be changed
To make long story short, the old man
loaned his companion IS to pay the bill,

Quite number of our readers are dis
posed to discrcdit the report that Mr.. Her.
bert Conner walked from Mound City to
Cairo and return, twelve miles, in one hour
aAd three quarters. This is equivalent to
seven miles an hour. and, we believe, beats
any of the walking achieved during the
worlds match in Gilmores Garden. But
there was a man at either end of the route
to time Mr.. Conner, and, if their time
pieces agree, the fact Of the performance
can easily be settled. Mr.. p. Fitz-
gerald is, we believe, willing to
testify as to the pedestrians arri-
val in CAIRO. There is another fact, that
will, when known, add to the glory Off
people look at it In that way of Mr.. C's.
achievement The distance walked is
nearer thirteen miles than twelve. From
the lower intersection of the levees to the
mouth of the Cache Is five and half meas
urei miles. From Cache to the Stots
House is nearly or quite another mile. As
this measurement is upon direct line, and
as the route of the walk could not be an
airline, the walkist may safely be credited
with seven and ahalf miles per hour.

PROTEST THAT Is ALSO A PROBE.
Mr. Editor:
For PHYS sake, coax "Modestus" not to
write any more on the "colored question,
for he or she is making my social sky very
dark" indeed. Many of my friends have
accused me of being "Modestus," and at
first was rather proud of it and didu't
deny it as toreibly as might have done,
because there was good deal Of glory in
allowing people to think could write for
paper But time has worn the edge of
my pleasure off, for find myself in danger
OF becoming yeritable "last rose of sum
mer," so far as some of my masculine
friends are concerned.
At first could not understand it, when
| received chilling bows and freezing
glances from gentlemen who had once been
emb!ematical Of the willow and the sun
beam in their graces and brightness. After
awhile some began to pass me with avert.
ed heads and countenanccs indicative of
aversion and fear, or combination of both;
Others strided past with elevated noses and
mein of defiance, and after being
snubbcd, frozen and fred alternately,
the problem Of this singular state of
affairs was solied by inspiration
as it were. They too thought was Mod.
estus, and believed had FOUND THEM OUT,
Visions Of wrathful wives and scornful
sweethcarts, whose eyes | might open, no
doubt flashed through their brains at sight
Of me. Now, gentlemen, | assure you--
all OF you, and you arcmany- that am as
innocent as lamb. I'm not "Modcstus"-
| havn't hunted you all out and marked
you as fit victims for black mailing fdr.
poses. MAY have an inwar1 Spssination
to draw my skirts to one side, as you pass,
you, whom "Modcstus' shoe fits but
don't do it. | have been too well trained
in the worlds school of custom, to attempt
to undo any of this shameful wickcdness
know how more than useless it would be
to try to work reform in mems morals, as
long as mothers, wives and swccthearts
know your guilt as well as do, many of
them, and yet treat you like gentlemen. So
pile your wrath where it belongs, on Mod
ertus," and not on poor INNOCENCE.

OUR TENURE OF LIFE

Depends in great measure upon our regard for or
neglect of the laws of health. If we violate
them we cannot expect to make old bones"
But that the span of existence allotted to a
naturally delicate constitution, or one which has
been shaken by disease may be materially
lenthened, is a fact of which we have daily
proof. The v~ivifying and restorative influence
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters upon a failing
physique affords a striking illustration of the
power of judiciOus medication to strengthen the
hold on life. Restored digestion, complete as
limitation, renewed appetite, sound repose,
these are among the benefits conferred upon the
by that supreme renovant. With a
circulation enriched, a framei nvigorated, and Il
nervous system tranquilized, the invalid, af.cr a
course of the Bitters, feels that his life-tenure is
no longer the precarious thing that it was-that
he may yet enjoy a green old age"

The city Of Yankton has made q showing
for the year just passed, in its transactions
Of all kinds, which would do credit to a city
Of much greater p%retentions and ripper years.
Its citizens have shown hat public conf
dence in its future greatness which is best
illustrated by their deeds; on every hand
and in every quarter of the city business
blocks of liberal proportions and costly fin.
ish have gone up by scores. Its newly erect
ed residences, some Of which assume the
proportions Of mansions, are a thing to be
proud of; all of the 1873 improvements in
fact, are liberal to an extent that shows that
the foundation upon which they rest is the
foundation of a great city. From its excel
lent and enterprising daily, the Press and
Dakotaian, we CLEAN the principal business
transactions Of the city for the year just
past.
