CsWEPT INTO THE STREAM-OMe Thousand
- .icrcs Of LGGd ard Right Smart Cf Bears. Or
the tec!; ot :. zig Mississippi steamboat stood an
aged Southern planter. Indicating by sweep of
his arm tho waters the boat was passing over, he
said To Il passenger from the North: When was
twelve years old killed my first bear on new
plantation my father was then cutting out OF Il
forest that grew directly over the waters of this
bend That was a mighty good plantation, and
ti!cr. was right smart of bears there, too. But
tina. one thousand acres Of land went into the
Mississippi years ago
II is putting strain upon the figure to say
that great forests of youthful hope, womanly
beauty and manly strength arc swept in tho same
way every year into the great, turbid torrent OF
disease and death Yet ii should not be so. That
il is so is disgrace us we'll rs loss. People are
largely too careless or too stupid to defend their
own intcrcStS-thc most precious OF which Is
18th. That gone, Ill is gone. Disease is simple,
but to rccklcssncSs or ignorance the simplest
things might as we'll be complex as proposition
in Comic Sections. AS the huge Western rivers,
which 50 often flood the cities along their shores,
arise in Il few mountain springs, SO all our all
mcuts can be traced to impure blood and small
group of disordcred organs.
Tie most effective and inclusive remedy for
disease is PARKER'S TONIC. 1t goes to the
sources of pain and weakness In response to its
action the liver, kidneys, stomach and heart be-
gin their work afrcsl, and disease is driven out.
The Tonic is not, however, an intoxicant, but
cures desire for strong drink. Havo you dys-
pcpsia rheumatism, or troubles which have re.
fused to yield 10 other agents? Hero is your help.

RATTLESNAKE ON TOAST.

\ typical cowboy, fcesh from bis herd,
went in Elitch's chophouse last night. The
tables were all filed with the exception of
one, at which the terror Of the plains seated
himself As he pulled of his hat and united
the red y,andanna handkerchief from
around his throat. he looked disdainfully
around.
The nimble waiter br ushed an imaginary
bread crumb from the cloth. whislzed bill

"Ratttlcsnake on Toast y yelled the wal

"Rattlcsnake on toast.' responded the
cook.
There was slight tlutter among the guests
at this strange order, and the cowbow WAS
scanned by many curious eyes.
He looked little Disconnected at having
his order 50 promptly taken, and glanced
furtively toward the front of the house. He
saw the walters engaged i'll filing orders
and looking as solemn as graveyards after
midnight.
He assumed nonchalant air and picked
his teeth with his fork.
A cook deity removed the skin from .
pickerel, and, cutting o strip the proper

The waiter who had taken the order came

The sentiment is for Blaine in Kansas, and

The strength that the Pfohihitionis:s have

have been the strongest Prohibitiorists
years ago are this year very conservative
and. about to give up the fight. l car
hardly understand the secret Of this. Ont
thing that has helped to bring this enc
