A Gentle Stimulus

Is imparted to the kidneys and blad- der by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, wbich Is most usetul in ovefcoming torpidity of these organs. Besides in. fusing more aclivity into them, this excellent tonic endows them with ad
 ditional vigor, and enables them to undergo the wear and tear of the dis charging function imposed upon then, by nature. Moreover, as they are the channel for the escape of certain i'm purities from the blood, increases their usefulness by strengthening and healthfully stimulating them. In cer. tain morbid conditions of these i'm. portant organs, they fall into slug gish state, which is the usual percursor of disease. What then can be oi greater service than medicine which impels them to greater activity when slothiul1 No maladies are more per. ilous than those which affect the kid- neys, and a medicine which ayerts the peril should be highly esteemed.

The Arirona Nightingale.


 The burro is condensed jackass. He is little all ever excspehis eafs and voice. He has long hair all over his body, four legs, two ears and one tail As vocalist the burro stands without a rival. He starts of with a low, sweet "Ohe-he-ohy-he, haw he, haw- haw haw he hawl" and keeps it up until you trsmble for his life; and just as you think he will surely stop, or die and get out of misery, he disap- points all your fond expectations by turning on little more sound, rever- sing the action, and retracting all that he has just said. A vocal solo rem dered by an equipped burro is an ex. perience never to be forgotten. l have jeen strong men moved to tears as they listened to his sweet but melan- choiy cadence-because they had no club or battering ram with which to show their appreciation and soothe their perturbed spirits. The butro can not sing without raising his tail. As his vocal organs Timber up, his tail as- cends until it is extended in hori- zontal straight line. and from the tip of his nose to the tip of hls tail he is one continuous, harmonious, exul,dnt wave of sound. .~American Musical Journal.

He was bad man rom Kokomo or at least he said he was, and some of the people in State street dance all believed him. Of a rough, shaggy, ancouth appearance, with one eye and several fingers gone, and an ugly-lc ok ing scar across his face, he cert inly looked the unterrified monster that he portrayed as he stood with his back to the bar and huge forty-four in his hand.
 "Come up and drink, /" he sl outed with voice resembling the roar of a mountain lion. "I am Wild Bill of the Rockies, and everybody drinks with me.
 A few of the more timid a cepted the invitation as if under protest, but the largest portion of old-tim, IS gazed on the specimen with con iderable curiosity and some anu'eme"t.
 "Come up and drink, l say" roar cd the human brute, ai he n ticed the unmoved figures standing nsar. Then as the audience were quietly watching to see what the awful man would do, quiet little policeman epped up, and placing one hand on tie gun and the other on his shoulder, said: "'ll take this, and you, too" A remarkable change al once cam. over the terror and ;he gun slipped fl, m his nerve less hand into that of the officer, and he walked off in company with his captor as meekly as a lamb to the slaughter. Oa Mo iily he will face the terrors of the law, and will prob ably be fine for cary ng weapons.- l.eadvill. He-,d

A BulIy Mliirer.

''The Shoemaker herd which was valued at something over Sioo 900, has been broken.

A representative oi the Sun, who is also man of st iei Ct, went 10 Burn. side, Mrs. Shocmaker's place in Green Spring Valley, and in the presence O i witnesses milked the animal SO there could be no dispute about the matter in she fatare. The bull has never been attended to with any view of develop. ing his milking peculiarity, but there IS hi,le doubt that with proper care and attention he woald give sufficient milk of the richest character to suppl, a smaA family. The skin of the ani
 mal was the richest color, and the milk would occasionally drop from his teats as he walked. IL was in this way attention was first called to his milking qna.i.ies. ."--Josrnal of Agfi. SSltS.A

Alaska.

Besides the fur trade and the fisher ies. Alaska is becoming the greatest gold.producing country in the world. On Douglass Island, which is from four to ten miles long and less in width, there IS the greates, gold mine on earth, and the most complete mill. ing establishments known. This mill turns out every month gold bullion to the value ofa quarter oi million dol iars, and the mine has re.onces which wilt keep the mill s ing for ], least 100 years at the present rate of pro- duction. There are plenty more gold viens in the southeastern country, which only needs developments to make Alaska the great gold field of the world.

The small Boy.

One day sat in car seat, on tn, Saugus branch of the Eastern road, behind psle, csreworn lady, who wa: taking a little boy from Boston te Maiden, As the little boy was of s very inquiring mind, and everything seemed to attract his attention, could not help listening to some of his ques. tions.
 "What Is that, auntier" the little boy commenced, pointing to stacl of hay on the marsh.
 70, that's hay, dear" answered the careworn lady.
 "What Is hay, auntiea"
 "Why, hay is hay, dear"
 'But what is hay made of1"
 "Why, hay is made of dirt, and water and afr. :"
 "Who makes ita''
 "God makes it, dear"
 "Does he make it in the daytime or night1''
 "In both, dear"
 "And Sundaysl'
 "Yes, all the time"
 "Ain't is wicked to make hay on Sunday, auntiea''
 70, don't know. I'd keep still, Willie, that's dear. Auntie is tired. ' After remaining quiet a moment, Willie broke out,
 "Where do stars come from, ,aunties'' "I don't know; nobody knows" "Did the moon lay theml"
 "Yes, I guess so, Don't bother me."
 Another short silence, when Willi, broke out:
 "Benny says oxins is owl, auntie Is theya"
 ''Oh, perhaps SC"
 "I think whale could lay esgs- don't you auntie2"
 "Oh, yes. guess so," said the shameless woman.
 Did you ever see a whale on his hest7"
 "Oh, guess so."
 "Where2"

 "Did you ever see little ay e,: sugar."
 "Yss, dear"

 "Willie, sit down on the seat and be still or I'll shake you. Now, no, another word"

shall We Have an Engine House 2

At the last session of the common council
of our village Trustee Ocobock submitted
plan for al engine house and fremen's hall.
On motion of Trustee Noyes, the plan was
adopted as q proper one to be submitted to a
vote of the electors of the village at the ap-
preaching charter election, the cost of the
proposed building not to exceed $500.
The recorder was instructed to prepare bal
lots for and against such proposition. in
order that an expression of the voters might
be had. The plan will be on exhibition at
the town hall on election day.
We regard the foregoing action of the
board as eminently proper and right. There
is no gainsaying the fact that such a build
ing, centrally located, would be very advan-
tageous and might, under certain circum-
stances. be the means of saving much prop
erty. On the other hand. il would cost quite
little sum of money and it is but right and
Just that an expression of the people should
be had. Let there be a full and free vote
on the question and no subsequent kicking.
