will not the same rule apply to "put or" medi-

torious put up medicines ? The great popu-
larity Of Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

A farmer at Arnold, England, being
enraged at the presence of skaters on
his pond, conceived the brilliant idea OF
breaking up the ice by Harvesting up a
horse to a heavy iron roller and driving
over it. The experiment was eminently
successful, and but for the assistance of
the skaters he and the horse would have
remained at the bottom along with the
roller.
It is most amusing to hear the excuses
made by ladies on board q steamer when
they begin to feel the roll Of the ocean
wave. They are as follows "Ill go
down for dinner" "The wind has
blown my hair so that I'll have to 60
below and fix it." "It's very close out
here" GLOW damp the deck is" "The
glare on the water almost blinds me-"
"How cold the sea air is it chills me
to the marrow of my BONES" "How
very warm" and SO on.
John Olive, a Nebraska herder, had
murdered several of bis. enemies, and it
was deemed desirable to arrest him, but
it was hard to get anybody to undertake
the job. he always had a gang of his
ranchmen close at hand, and was free
with threats of vengeance on anybody
who molested him. At length Billy
Nichols bargained to capture Olive for
$500. 1t was Olives custom to 60 to
Plum Greek once a week for letters.
Nichols stationed himself in the post
office, with four companions chosen from
the relatives of the men whom Olive
had killed. When Olive entered he
found himself looking into the muzzles
of five revolvers, and was commanded to
hold up his hands. BE surrendered, and
was quickly hustled out of sight. His
ranchmen, as they struggled in one by
one to see what had become of him,
we're caught in the same manner.
