We have been Taught from early years
that as a cash investment, Truth was a
pretty safe stock to deal in, but for a
THIRTY DAY buy the following don't seem
bad sample for "home-bred-raised-
ourselves" article: Around the fire in
our sherif's Office one afternoon lately,
listening to the humming of the northern
zephyr just passed. were seated as usual
the band of veterans whose recoliections
of dangers by flood and field usually
strikes dumb all hearers.
After spell of silence, truly eloquent,
Sam Magraw claimed attention with
"Boys, you bet / slew the ducks yester-
day. I hope you won't ask for proof
when I tell you that I killed ducks until
felt ashamed of the slaughter. "Got a
new Gatling, Sam ?" Nary Cat. You

cleaned up back of town near Iatt lake

see how. the "niggers was gittin" along,
and while there, never saw 30 many ducks
since I was boy-with a roar and a
whirl like some great wave they came
tumbling and tossing when the idea
struck me to assert myself, off my "best-
in-the-parish-for-200-ya yards" I rolled and
grappled a sapling that seemed dead, with
no limbs to bother, L pulled her back as
far as $50 pounds and all muscle would
pull her, and as the world of ducks rolled
darby by-let go-when whish-whish the
young tree cut the air, and, after pulling
the splintefs out Of my hands, I picked
up ~ ducks-dead, sir At the end of
this really truthful tale not a sigh was
breathed; not a muscle twitched; the
solemn gang sat as il entranced. Some
one whispered "ANANIAs," when Magraw
feeling that a coroboration was needed
turned to the Rev. Buck and asked, "Can
it be that you too disbeieye this ? Don't
such duck killing astonish YOU ?" "Not
bit, Sammy, / am kinder given to lying.

by one fled out to seek the invalid with

Very Remarkable Recovery

Mr.. Geo. v. Willing, OF Manches.
ter, Mich, writes: "My wife has been
almost helpless for FIVE years, SO
helpless that she could not turn over
in bed alone. She used two bottles
of Electric Bitters, and is so much
improved, that she is able now to do
her own work" Electric Bitters will
do all that is claimed for them. Hun
dreds of testimonials attest their
great curative power. Only Fifty
cents a bottle at Nash & Williams.
