No matter what your feelings or symptoms
are, or what the disease or ailment is, use Hop

you only feel bad or miserable use the bitters
at once. 1t may save your life. Hundreds
have been saved by so doing, at moderate
cost. Ask your druggist or physician. DO
not suffer yourself or let your friends suffer,
but use and urge them to use Hop Bitters.

How the President is Deserted.
TPhiladelphia Times.
philadelphia Times. ]

IS
The wall again rises from Washing
ton that the Presidents stalwart
friends have deserted him. 1t is
shown that Conkling, Logan, Crowley
and Harrison have from time to time
withdrawn their valuable support.
All but Crowley quit because they
didn't get as much consideration or as
many offices as they wanted. The
western New York statesman, who is
the excepted, left because he couldn't
have a night KEY to the white house,
together with the privilege of waking
the president at all hours of the day
or night.
But in spite of the fact that Conk-
ling didn't want Folger nominated,
that Logan was somewhat disap-
pointed because his son=in-law could
not have the Zuni Reservation. that
Gresham was made postmaster
general and Woods Judge, regardless
of Harrison, and that Crowley actu-
ally vowed he would never again set
foot in the white house-in spite of
all these facts, the president has actu-
ally been able to keep the country
going and has taken a considerable
fishing excursion beside.
This has probably been a great sur
prise to these recalcitrant statesmen,
and will discourage their cornpatriots
from breaking OF their relations with
the president until they are assured
that their strike viii be successful.
This ought not, however, to have the
slightest effect upon the proprietor of
the late kelm incident.

TBill Arp.l

The country is the best place for
children. What a glorious luxury it
is for them to go barefooted and wade
IN the branch and go SEEMING, and
climb trees and hunt birds nests and
carry the corn to mill and run pony
races. 1t is well enough for man to
i've IN town or a city when he is
young and active, but when he gets
married and the little chaps come
along according to nature he ought to
get on a farm to raise 'em. An
Old man with numerous grandchil-
dTen has got no business in a city.
What a burlesque on childhood's JOY
IL must be to visit grandpa and grand
ma In city penned up in brick walls
with a few sickly flowers in the
window and garden in the rear
about as big as wagon sheet. Might
as well try to raise good healthy, Wig
orous colts in stable yard. There
is too much machinery about raising
children now days anyhow. The
race is running out, and
nothing but country life can save
it. The old backlog is gone and
the big open, friendly fire place, and
the cheerful blazing family hearth,
and now it is hole in the floor or
iron pipes running around the walls.
L reckon that is economy, but in my
opinion man can't improve the stock
that way nor keep it as good as it
was. The children will be picayunish
and over nice and sharp featured and
potty before and gimletty behind.
They won't do to bet on like those
chaps brought up around a fire place
on ahundred acre farm.
Raising children is the principal
business of human life, and is about
all that the majority of mankind are
working for, though they don't know
| 1t. 1t is the excuse for all the mad
rush OF business that hurries us
along. 1t is the apology for nearly all
the cheating and stealing and lying in
the land. Working for the children
is behind it all, and the trouble is
that most everybody is trying to
do too much for 'em, and scuffiing
against wind and tide to keep up with
their nabors or get little ahead. Too
many fine clothes, too many kid
gloves and parasols and new bonnets
too many carpets and curtains and
pictures. and thousand other things
that run up the outgo bigger than
the income. and keep the poor fellow
always on strain. l love to humor
'em. and play horse with 'em,
and tell 'em stories about Jack and
the bean stalk, and what 1 did when
| was a little boy; and [ put 'em to
bed and rub their backs and let 'em
trot around with me a good deal ON
week days and all day Sunday, but
I'm not going to waste, my slender
substance on 'em, for its natures law
that they must work for a living and
they shall. I'm going to raise 'em in
the country, for as Thomas Jefferson
said. the influence of great cities is
pestilential to health and morals and
the liberties of the people"
