known in Mr.. Grattan's house. He
and his aged partner have man
aged to pass the long evenings very
pleasantly, and be supposed they
were happy enough until friend
from the East paid them flying
visit and asserted over and over
again that the game of checkers
was not only all the rage there, but
that 1t served to quicken the per-
ceptive faculties, enlarge the mind
and render the brain more active.
After giving the subject due
thought, Mr.. Grattan walked down

tend anew our love and sympathy to the hus-
band and family Of this devoted mother, this
dear and valuable friend, in this her short sep

Sunday evening last Miss Florence Graham,
young lady OF this village, about twenty years
OF age, was taking horseback tide, and when
about mile and half south OF town, two
young bucks, VIM. Miller and John Ruple
drove up, each in q buggy, whooping and
hallooing like wild savages, soaring the horse
Of the fair equestrian, causing him to rear and
plunge violently. In the intervals OF the rear
ing OF the horse MISS Graham assured the
yahoos that if they would get out Of the buggy
she would dismount and take pleasure in
(" thrashlng the ground with them.' To this
they returned jeers and laughter and drove on.
Soon after she met Miller again, near the resi-
dence OF Simon Stettner, south OF town, who
saw and relates what followed. As she met
the buggy she hastily dismounted and unsnap
ped the lines from the birdie Of her assailant's
horse, which thus freed from control ran into
fence corner, when young Miller alighted.
Miss Graham had followed closely, and as he
alighted received him warmly, "cufing him to
peak" with her left hand while holding her
horse with her right, administering at the same
time some sound maxims on etiquette, and the
proper way for young gentlemen to behave
themselves in the company Of ladies. Miller
had driving whip in his hand which the irate
equestrian wrenched from him, and lAshing
him with It, babe him depart, which he speedily
did, while she, rcmounting, rode VIGOROUSLY
into town. The next morning Miller senior
came az an envoy to recover the whip which
on his application was handed over to him.
subscription was immediately started and q
sum sufficient to buy Miss Graham dress was
raised and hs nded to her by admirers OF her
pluck and self reliance Cassopolis Democrat,

A general opinion prevails that nothing short
Of opates or narcotics will produce sleep in
nervous persons. This is a mistake, 1t ID .
matter OF much consequence to heads OF fam-
lies where there are young children who are
restless, sleeplesr, and Of course more or less
irritable, to know that in Lawson's Curative .
most perfect nervine will be found. By simply
bathing your child and rubbing it with Curative
at night, and several times day, with small
doses taken internally, you will be surprised
how quickly it will bring about natural, refresh
ing sleep, and that, too, without any dosing OF
poisonous drugs, which only deadsn the senses
without curing the difficulty. The Curative is
equally good for grown persons, for all nerv-
GUS affections. Large bottles 80 cents.
