How
Your LiVer2

Is the Oriental salutation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con-
stipated, the food lies
in the stomach undi-
gested, poisoning Z the
blood; frequent headache
ensues; a feeling Of lassi-
tude, dependency and
nervousness indicate how
the whole system Is de
ranged. Simmons Liver
Regulator has been the
means of restoring more
people to health and
happiness by giving them
a healthy Liver than any
agency known on earth.
It acts with extraor-
dinary power and efficacy.

MISCELLANEOUS.
His Wife Number Two.

Old Col: Potterfield was hard man.
lie worked his wife-good, patient
woman-to death upon his plantation.
On her death bed, when too late, his
eyes were opened to the great wrong
he had done, and he begged her for
giveness.
eft is easy enough for me to for
give" she gasped, ".but my forgive
ness ,will,not cause your coming pun
ishment to be lessenedS. EfeeL that
you are going to be punished on: this
earth" She turned, her face away
from him and died.
The Colonel's season of grief was
not long. He soon put on his best
clothes and showed himself at hog
killing and otherplaces of amusement.
Soonsthere came into the neighborhood
q graceful woman, Antoinette Pol
worth. The colonel met her, and was
charmed. He called on her. She
received him kindly and eventually
they were married.
Six months of almost unbroken hap
piness flew away, but now the colonel's
face sometimes wore an anxious eX-
preston. His wife was not so fair
as she had been, and the colonel dis
covered that the waving hair which
he had so much admired was some
times at night hung on the corner of
the mantelpiece. He found, also,
that he had been deceived in other
ways and the spirit of revenge arose
In his injured breast.
Antoinette, the colonel one day
remarked, in voice which had lost
much of its wonted gentleness, "Caro-
line is i'll to-day, and 1 want you to
go out and weave jeans for the ne
groes. I get good price for the
stuff and 1 cannot afford to see the
loom idle
"Wcll, then don't look at it,
Anteinette carelessly replied.
The colonel nibbled his lip and
sternly said:
Woman, want no foolishness.
Don't have it, them
ssI won't. Go out there and weave,
or you'll feed the ungentle power of
retributive authority.
Antoinctte laughed. The colonel
took hold of her nose and gave it a
turn as though he would unscrew it.
Antoinette put aside a stocking she
had been darning, knocked the colonel
down with lightning like slap, put
one foot under him, threw him across
the room, sat down and resumed her
peaceful occupation. After while
the colonel sat up and gazed at her
in amusement
"Antoinette, he feebly said, ''you
needn't weave.'
"Thank you, dear"
"You have convinced me that a
woman should have few rights, but
say, how did you do it. Where did
you acquire the facts which you have
just embodied into such an unanswer-
able argument?'
z" Colonel" she replied, "pardon
me for not sooner telling you. For
many years 1 was the cannon ball
woman and the iron jawed maiden in
the circus. Don't get excited, dear,
shall not give you another exhibit
ton until you attempt to get divorce
from me- Then Twill take you up
in my teeth and shake YOU"
The colonel went out, leaned on a
horseback and groaned. His first
wife's prediction was verified.
