A NEW TARGET FOR HUMANITY.
Hon. Eugene Field Dismisses the
Mother-in-Law with a Blessing.

Hon. Eugene Field Dismisses the
Mother-in-Baw with a Blessing.
From the Chicago Netos.
A vast majority of men, speaking from
personal experience, would say with us, we
think, that the mother-in-law is one of the
most welcome, most convenient and most
blessed features in social and domestic
economy. Surely, there is no good man
that, thinking Of his own mother and
of his grandmother, will not invoke Gods
sweetest blessing on the dear old lady who
is his wife's mother and his children s
grandma.
Now when it comes to the father-in-law
we might sing in different key. How
does it happen that these sarcastic penny-a-
liners do not devote their questionable tai
ents to discussion of the father-in-law-
the cranky, wheezy, gummy old gentleman
who sits around on the front stoop in the
sun all day and SHORES like a planning mil
all night? What does he know about sick
childreni Have you ever seen him teach
ing your small boy how to sharpen slate
pencil with the bread knifee Has he ever
linked new eyes on your little girls rag baby
Did he ever put patches on the knees of
the boys trousers and keep the family darn
ing cleaned up to date2 Has he ever gone
into the kitchen and cooked a meal of
victuals whenever the hired girl hounced off
in a ragea Has he ever done anything but
soger around like dog with sore ear,
and talk about his liver and complain of
the degeneracy of the timess
Yet you WRITINGS humor this pesky old
varmint; Why's Because you hope to get
value received when his will is probated.
Venal wretches that you are, you tolerate
and fatter this mumbling nuisance while
you execrate the dear old saint who helps
you hold up your hands against the world

WHAT AMITO DO2

The symptoms of biliousness are
unhappily but too we'll known.
They differ in different individuals
to some extent. A bilious man is
seldom a breakfast eater. Too
frequently, alas, he has an excel
lent appetite for liquids but none
for solids of a morning. His ton
que will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and fur
red, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly
out of order and diarrhea or con-
stipation moy be a symptom or the
two may alternate. There arc Of
ten Hemorrhoids or even loss of
blood. There may be giddiDess
and often headache and acidity or
fatulenco and tenderness in the
pit of the stomach. To correct all
this ifnot effect a cure try Green's
August Flower, it cost but a trihe
and thousands attest its efficacy
