What are Called Whoppers.

The Western frontier of our country is
highly prolific in tall stories. Take the
matter of hard blows. a man sitting in
his house, eating a pie, heard o storm
coming and ran to the door. The gale
first blew the house down, and then
seized the man, carried him through the
air a hundred yards or so, and landed
him in peach-tree Soon afterward a
friendly board from his own house came
floating by. This he seized and placed
over his head to protect himself from the
raging blast, and finished his pie Out
IN Nevada 1t has been told that during
gale, while powders as big as pumpkins
were lying through the air, and water
pipes were being ripped out of the
ground, an old Chinaman, with specta-
cles Oh his nose, was observed in the
eastern part Of the town seated on a
knoll calmly flying his kte-an iron
shutter, with log chain for a tail.
There was man from Boston who would
not confess establishment at any thing he
saw in Nevada. AS he was passing a
hotel in Virginia City the cap blew from
one OF the chimneys. 1t was a circular
piece OF sheet-iron, painted black. slight
ly convex, and the four supports were
like legs. The wind carried it down
street, and it went straddling along like
a living thing The Boston man asked
what 1t was. "a bedbug from the hotel"
was the reply. ''By George, never saw
any thing like that he began, and then
added, "OutSide of Boston,"

One said: "When | was coming to the
hills looked for Indians until | could
see a mosquito a mile away" Another
said that his eyes were weak, but he could
hear gnats jumping on the rocks four
miles. The next man had listened for In
dlans until he had heard the mountain
sheep light on their horns in the Big
Mountains, three hundred miles away.
The fourth, with his head on his pillow,
had strained his ears until be heard the

A Yankee who had settled in the West
having told an Englishman that he had
shot on one particular occasion nine hun
dred and ninety nine pigeons, his inter-
locutor asked why he did not make it
thousand at once. "No," said he, "not
likely I'm going to tell a lie for one
pigeon" Whereupon the Englishman,
determined not to be outdone, began to
tell long story Of a man having swan
from Liverpool to Boston. ''Did you see
him?" asked the Yankee ''Of course |

passed him mile out of Boston harbor."

WE DO NOT CLAIM

that Hoop's SARsAPARILLAw will cure every
thing, but the fact that on the purity and
vitality OF the blood depend the yisor and
health of the whole system, and that disease
of various kinds is often only the sign that
nature is trying TO remove the disturbing
cause, We are naturally led to the conclusion
that a remedy that gives life and vigor to
the blood. cradicates scrofula and other i'm
purities from it, as HOOPS SARsArARILLA
undoubtedly does, must be the means OF pre-
venting many diseases that would occur
without IFS use; hence the field of its useful
ness is quite an extended one, and we are
warranted in recommending it for all de,
