Receiving Their Deserts.

The yardmasters at this point have received a
black list on which appears the names OF 22O
switchmen who disgraced themselves in the re-
cent strike in st. Louis. A copy of the list will
be sent to every yardmaster in this country
and the purport of this black list is that the
yardmasters shall not employ any of these men
who made themselves so obnoxious. Indianap-
ons yardmasters have already given a number
OF the strikers cold shoulder. There never
has been strike in this country which was
Dased ON so fimsy an excuse as was this and

And shall considered bc-as I'm sinnor2'
With paper. pen and ink.
He sat him down TO think;
And first of all, Sir Lion he invited;
The Northern Wolf who dwells
In rocky Arctic des;
The Leopard and the Lynx, by blood united
Then Mr.. Fox. the shrewd-
No lover, he of good
And Madame Duck with sober step and stately;
And Mr.. Frog serene
In garb of bottle green,
Who warblcd bass, and bore himself sedately.
Sir Crocodile. content,
The invitations sent.
The day was comc-hiS guests were all assem-
bled;
They fancied that some guile
Lurkcd in his ample smile;
Each on the other looked, and somewhat trcm-
bled.
\ lengthy time they wait,
Their hunger wakes great;
And still the host in conversation dallies.
AT last the tables laid.
With covered dishes spread.
And out in haste the hungry party salies.
But when-the covers raised
On empty plates they gazed,
Each on the other looked with dire intention;
Ma'am Duck sat last OF all,
And Mr. Frog was small
She softly swallowed him and made no men,

This Mr.. Fox perceivcs.
And saying: " By your leaves
Some punishment is due for this transgrcs-
sion.
He gobbled her in haste
Then, much to his dStaSte,
BY Mr. Lynx was taken in possession!
The Wolf, without pause,
In spite of teeth and claws,
Left nothing of the Lynx to tell the story;
The Leopard, all irate
At his relations fate,
Made mince meat of that wolfsh monster
hoary.
The Lion raised his head:
"Since am king" he said,
at i'll BELTS the king to lack his dinnerv
Then on the Leopard sprang,
With might of claw and fang,
And made meal upon that spotted sinner
Then saw in sudden fear
Sir Crocodile draw near,
And heard him speak with feelings OF distrao-
ton;
"Since all of you have dned
Well suited to your mind,
You surely can not grudge me satisfaction"
And sooth a deal of guile
Lurked in his ample smile,
As down his throat the roaring lion hasted;
Economy, with me,
Is chief of all" said he.
And am glad to see there's nothing wasted"
Good Cheer.

Sedentary and studious men some
times become FRUSTRATED before they
know it. Those who spend much
time in close mental work and neg
lect to take enough exercise often
find their stomachs unable to do the
work of digestion. The liver be!
comes torpid. The bowels act ir-
regularly. The brain refuses to
serve as it'once did. Their preaching
becomes a failure, and there is state
of general misery. So many minis
tiers have been restored to health by
the use of Browns Iron Bitters that
the clergy generally are speaking to
their friends of this medicine as the
very best tonic and restorer they
know Of 1trestores thin and watery

Eminent Testimony.

IN. Y. Witness, Aug. Is, 1891
81 find that in addition to the pure spirits
contained in their composition, they contain
me extracts of hops and other wcll-known
and highly approved medicinal roots, leaves
and tinctures i'll quantities sufficient to rem
der the article what the makers claim it to
be, to wit, a medicinal preparation and not
n beverage-unfit and unsafe to be used eX-
cepr as a medicine.
From careful analysis of their formula
which vas attested under oath-I find
that in every wine-glassful of Hop Bitters,
the active medicinal properties aside from
the distilled spirits are equal to full dose
for an adult, which fact in my opinion,
subjects it to an internal revenue tax as
medicinal bitter"
