The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and alse that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.

HUMOR A NECESSITY.

A critic, in speaking of the modern school of novelists, says that the gentle men should not forget tha, after all the analysis, the literary man should not forget tha, the main object of the novel. ist IS to entertain his readers. Certainly. for when a novel ceases to be interesting, it ceases to be read. No one objects to the information introduced in fiction. and the most solemn reforms may be advo- cated, but the general work mus, be en- tertaining. It need not be filled up with intrigues. elopements and desperate situ- ations, bu, t must have those enlivening character touches which are the soul ot literature and the redemption of the drama. Bancroft, the historian, attempted novel writing. He had a monument of facts, world of information and graphic style of composition, bu, his efforts re- suited in dismal failure. Why: Because he did not have the enlivening character touch. In short. as Mir. Micawber would say in a burst Of confidence, man, to be a successful novels, must be humorist We do not mean that he must be a :" funny man the most despicable phrase n the English language but he mus, have a fine sense of true humor, the humer of character
 Real life IS full of humor. and the dull est man you meet. can tell you of some acquaintance a, whose vagaries he can- no, help smiling. Every successful liter ary production co on,ains more or less hu- nor. In shou-ano,her burs, of conn., denee-the bible. the book of all books is slamorous. Gain attempted repartee when he said Am l my brothers keeper Peter was rare Joker. though perhaps unconsoiously. on the occasion when the cock crew. These aye nor Jokes to be laughed at, ye, they show the lighter vein," which runs through the sacred work. and in shor-compelled to make another burst of fconhdenee-we do not know of a more ludiorous disaster than tha, which beiel Tobias when he stood by the wall, looking up. Humor is inherited, and if every man does no, possess ii, it IS because he has degenera- ted. Every healthy child is full oi fun.

:" am sorry for you, madam" said a lawyer to an old woman who had en- tered his office and asked for aims. " How old are you?"
 Seventy-hve.
 Seven,y-6ve,' repeated the lawyer. " It seems that you are quite old enough to make success of yourself. Now. if you were young woman, l should not hesitate in assisting you, but being as old you are, 1t IS your own fault that you do not drive around with double team"
 |" But how, sir, explain.' .'
 " Is ii possible that you are still making the fatal oversight. How old did you say :. Why. madam. you surprise me. Get an ordinary grade of molasses, dilute it with swamp water, and become a benefactor of the infantile race. Manufacture sooih- ing syrup. Cost you nothing to make il, and you can call on the editors in town and give them few bottles for home use and they will pay you in advertising. Orders will soon come Tn and you can have an electrotype of venerable old woman, Mother So-and-so. You can have your hair parted in the old mo,herly way-well, in short. there's a fortune for you. An, if could only exchange places with you"
 "l will do so," the old woman ex- claimed. and she left and at once began 10 manufacture the medicine. A few weeks afterwards the newspapers were filled with the success of Mother Gragle's soothing syrup, but the lawyer did no, reflect that he was the cause of the great success until he got up at nigh, to give his bowling son spoonful.

AN ARKANSAw PROPOSAL.

Can have few words with you, sir ~ asked young Arthur Greggle. en- tering richly carpeted office and ad- dressing Colonel Bibley.
 :" I suppose you can," the colonel re- piled. nervously turning in his revolving chair and glancing al Arthur in a way so devoid of interest that the young man in wardly wished he had not sought an in ,erview with the crussy old fellow.
 a l will not detain you long. for know that your time is well occupied-''
 It ~as we'll occupied" said the colonel. Whether or not it E we'll occupied"
 Your sarcasm, colonel. IS lost on me. You could no doubt spend your time more prohtably than by talking 10 me. '
 !" No doubt" the colonel assen,ed.
 "l am glad to see,r said the young man. lowing. that there are subjects on which we agree, and since you have un- willingly led me, step by step. to the very threshold of the subject. in which above all others desire your concur ence, will at once open the door :: l think that would make an admirable son-in-law. Do you agree with me-"
 . do. You would undoubtedly make a good son-in-law-of a donkey
 Ah, l see. Then pray allow me to ask your daughters hand in marriage
 The colonel glared at the young man
The Arkansaw traveler., 1883-11-03
for moment and replied: q Ifimpudence

for moment and replied: q Ifimpudence were wit, then would regard you a. capable ot taking care of a wife,
 And if arrogance were generosity then would have had no hesitancy in ap- preaching you.'
 Ah, you are quite equal to an emer- gency. Do you love my daughter with a truth and depth of devotion which in the future shall ever prevent any other love from arising to the surface: do you think that in after years, when your ambition has elevated you to the height of Ia longed for eminence that your love will be strong enough to keep pace with your advance ment and lift my child step by step as you yourself are lifted"
 Il do," solemnly said the young man inclining his head in reverence.
 My daughter is loving bu, no, ann bilious. In her life affection will be everything. Will you ever speak cross to her."
 Never"
 What assurance have
 This, sir v and the young man drew a bottle from his side pocket.
 '' What have we here? Kentucky
 Kentucky"
 ''Ah," said the colonel. as he threw ou, n ehAv of tohacco and ,ool, tb. ho,,l. Here's looking at you.''
 Drink hearty" the young man re- piled, and taking the bottle he held ii up and added; Here's to the hair of your head.n
 The marriage was solemnly celebrated and the young man. who is horse doc tor, has began to ascend the ladder of ambition.

THE rural judge IS powerful judicial factor, and his decisions, though not al- ways in keeping with what the supreme court of the United States nigh, regard as strict justice, are often forcible. An Arkansaw judge, in charging the jury, said: "Gentlemen, you have heard the evidence and arguments in this case, and of course it remains with you, whether or not the defendant stole the horse lfyou say he didn't no man has right 10 say he did. One witness has stated that he saw the defendant when he stole the horse, and whether or not the witness lied. rests with you. lfyou say he did, he did, and no one has right to say he didn't I don't wish to prejudice you either way in this matter, but if you decide that he did not steal the horse. shall regard the de cision as wise and just, but of course you will do what you think right in the maa- ter. lt has not been previously announced, but the defendant owes me fifteen dollars Now, if he's sent to the peni,en,iary don't stand much of a show in getting my money. but if he does not go. can make him act as lanitor of this coart-room and collect his wages for him until the debt is settled. After that. in case you ind ,ha, a mistake has been made, the lawyers may ask for new trial, when i, may be clearly proved tha, the defendan, is guilty. l hope, gentlemen, that have said mo- thing in this charge to influence you in the least, for if there is anything in the world that am in favor of i, is that jus ,ioe should take its course.s Of course the verdict was not guilty,

THE magazines are beginning to tell how Jeff Davis was captured. There arc subjects. no matter how historical. oi which the public is somewha, tired. The capture of Mir. Davis is one of them. It really makes no difference whether he was dressed in woman's clothes or wore a Pickwick night-eap. There was a time when every minute detail of the affair was interesting, but that time has gone, for every newspaper in the United States has had its special account of the gentle mans capture. He is getting old, so let him rest.

 We aroused the neighbors and were soon en route for the cabin. The whisky had done its work and we heard singing and dancing as we approached.

American Fiction.
Washington Cap tai.


 The C<ntsyy has made a grea, hit with its new story, The Bread Winners. which shows vigor of style and a wealth of incident that at once captures the popular taste. The fact is there Is no thing which takes so well in the Un,,ed States as a good story about American life. The publishers have all found this out, and they are securing the whole country for good novels. Yet they do no: md them, and one of the freaeess prb fishing houses in New York has not a single American novel on its liss this au. tumn. As an illustration of how Ameri- can writers oi fiction are rewarded, look at the fact that ames R. Osgood guarzr- tees Mir. howells sum of Ss,ooo a year simply for the privilege Of p1b.;shiaS a.:s novels in book form. This leaves the a,- thor free to make all he can out of the magazines before his works 20 into the hands of the regular publishers at all.

As Jones went out from breakfast
Mrs. Jones followed him to the door and
pinned fbutton-hole bouquet on the
lapel of his coat. He missed that car,
but stood patiently until the flowers
were adjusted. .o'
"And you won't forget the peaches
for pickling?" said his wife, tenderly,.
as she brushed the dandruff off his
coat.collar. ~
"No-o," answered Jones, mechanical
". he saw Brown going off in his
buggy alone, and was sorry to miss that
chance. NO
"And pound of mutton chops for
supper, and some tomatoes = hi
i "Ye-e-s; anything else, darling p N
Mrs. J.'s two hands met at the back
Of his neck in caressing motion that
Jones had rather enjoyed twenty years
previous. Now it gave him a sense of
dislocation in his spinal column.
Well, Jonesey, dear, you know you
didn't like my last fall bonnet, and as
YOU have such good taste I thought may
be YOU would call at Madame HIS on
your way down and order me one your
very own self. deary." 49,
Just then the car passed. Jones said
he would see about it, received kiss,
ran block and narrowly escaped being
thrown under the Car wheels, and Mrs.
Jones looked after him with a smile that
was three-quarters bonnet and the bal
ance coniugal; but when Mr.. Jones re-
turned in the evening and she met HIM
at the gate the smile was purely conju-
gal and angelic. -,
"Did you order the bonnet, dear ?"
she asked, radiantly.
For a moment Jones was stricken
dumb, but when was mortal man ever
known to fail at invention? He sup
ported her with one arm while he broke
the news gently.
Darling" he said, CT called four
times to see Madame H, and
each time she had just stepped out. I
hung around until l was afraid people
would talk; and just as I was coming
away the last time I met her. She said
she said-let me see-oh, she said she
would prefer to measure you for that
bonnet herself. She thought if you had
one of the new terra-cotta combinations
of mahogany and hard wood with brio
a-brac attachments and polonaise front
it might be trimmed with Brazilian bugs
and Chinese lanterns, with stands OF Ro-
man punch and lawn-tennis ruchings
fastened on by royal Bengal tigers.
Why, what's the matter, love ?"
For Mrs. Jones had tainted from ex-
cess of happiness-the description OF that
bonnet was too, too much.
