Reprieve for the Condemned.

Wretched men and women long condemn ed to suffer the turtures of dyspepsia, are filled with new hope after few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This budding hope blossoms into the fruition of certainty, if the Bitters is persisted in. It brings a reprieve to all dyspeptics who seek it's aid Flatulence, heartburn, sinking at the pit of the stomach between meals the nervous tremors and insomnia of which chroRic in digestion is the parent, disappear with their hateful progenitor. Most beneicent Of stomachics! who can wonder that in so many instances it awakens grateful elo- quence in those who, benefited by it. speak voluntarily in its behalf. 1t requires a grahhic pen to describe the torments of dyspepsia, but in many of the testimonials received by the proprietors of the Bitte,s, these are portrayed with vivid truthfulness. Constipation, biliousness, muscular debility, malarial levers and rhematism are relieved by it.

From the land OF the Dakotas, <

And Of lies about the wheat yield
Told by lin ber-tongued agents,
To allure the Eastern farmer ~ -
Coax him to Dakota's prairies;
Land OF Legislatures many,
And of Statehood's proud ambition.
From the land OF the Dakotss,
Came the blizzard from the Northwest
Came the wild, the frigid blizzard, ~ .
Came the blizzard in its coldness.
Swept the blizzard to the eastward.
Struck the city OF Chicago,
Noted for its hams and bacon,
And its hatred Of st. Louis ~
Famous for its bomb assassins.
And the great feet OF its maidens.
Swept the blizzard further eastward
Up Ohio's fertile valley, ''sss-'--s-.
Tried to freeze the town OF Pittsburgh.
But the gas burned there dismayedit
Fuel hot and subterranean.
Passed the blizzard DER the mountains,
Chilled the old Dutch farmers marrow,
Captive took the Quaker City;
Froze the mud in streets OF Gothami
Prowled about the Nations Congress
In the District OF Columbia;
Watched the Senate Chambers rorta.a
Till il found Vermont's cold Scion,
Thinking it would freeze him rigid,
Came the blizzard from the Northwest.
Eager to contest with Edmunds
For the icy championship.
Gazcd the man upon the blizzard.
Gazed but once upon the cold wave.
And the blizzard vanQuished, slaughtere
Died right there uron the pavement;
Died the blizzard from Dakota;
Died the blizzard from the Northwest.

Old Farmer Boggs, OF Doggy Brook,
Went to the County Fair,
And with his wife, he stroiied around
To see the wonders there.
''That horse" he said, "Grey Eagle Wing,

But our old Dobbin looks as well
And better to my eyes.
he is, know, what folks call slow,
It's far the safest way to go;
Some men, perhaps, might think 1t strange,
Ireally should not like to change.
s.Aud those fat oxen-Buck and Bright
Don't have so large girth,
Nor match like them, Just TO hair,
But know what they're worth.
They're good to plow, and good to draw,
You stronger pulicrs never saw,
And always mind my gee. and haw.'
Some folks, perhaps. might think II strange,
Ircally shouldn't want TO change"
sSThat Devon heifer cost heard,
A thousand dollars; now
Said Mrs. Boggs, my Crumple Horn
Is just as good COW;
Her milk, I'm sure. s the very best
Her buttor Is the yellowest;
Some folks, perhaps, might think 1t strange.
1really shouldn't want TO change.
sThose premium hogs"-said Mrs Boggs,
my little Cheshire pig
IL better than the best OF them,
Although he's not 20 big.
And that young Jersey 10 not half
30 pretty as old Brindle's calf;
Nor Is there in the poultry pen,
As Specklcd Wings so good hen~
As Farmer Boggs to Doggy Brook
Rode homeward from the Fair,
he said: II wish my animals
Had all OF them been there;
And II the judges had been wise
Knight have taken every prize!'

The Most Reliable way Of Detecting q
Counserfeit Bill.
A bank cashier tells that the best
way to tell counterfeit bill is by sound
and feeling. Take the bill firmly be-
tween the thumb and index-finger Of
your left hand and pull itquickly through
your fingers like this. Now listen to the
sound it makes. 1t is not Just like rub
bing silk. and neither does 1t resemble
a paper sound closely. It's noise that
is too peculiar to admit of a descrip-
ton"
''Do they make counterfeit paper so
near like the original that you can't
tell the differenceP''
"You can't tell by looking at it. II
is only by the sound and touch. Now
listen to the sound made by this
counterfeit twenty dollar bill. You
see. that's a slick noise, something like
pulling glazed or oiled paper through
the fingers. A child conld tell the
difference between that bill and a
genuine one. But look ut it and you
will think your eye is on something
that would pass muster for. twenty dol
lars worth of groceries"
''Who taught you this businessP'
20. my first lesson was given by an
old man who has been all over this
country and Europe teaching the bust
ness. He has in his possession over .
thousand specimens Of counterfeits.
He obtained them from the authorities
