 Prof. MeAllister, tho prestidigita. tenr and ventriloqulst, happened tt be travelling across lower Idaho sonit years ago on his way from one town to another.

Two or threo companions were with him. While chatting to. gether, looking about and observing things generally, McAliister beramt quite familiar with mongrel dog owned by the redskins, whom he pro. oeeded to pet nonehalantly.
 "Finc dog" said the professor.
 Ugh" grunted buck.
 "llow much you sell him torp" asked the magician.
 Ugh. two dollar" replied the buck, holding up a pair of dirty fin. gers to indicate the amount

 "ilil hip exclaimed tho redskln. looking on with astnnlAhment, hi4 eyea ready to start from his head in ex- citement.
 "IIim very flne dog indeed" quietly continued the professor, this time talk. ing a whole handful of coin from tho cnr's tail, and picking stray pieces from his mouth, nose and ears, which he transferred to his pockets.
 Strange noises werc heard proceed ing from the interior of tho animal, iic groaned and laughed and howlod and parked, at all of which tho poor deluded redskins stood in tho utmost awe and astonishment, and couldn't for tho iitc of them understand what had come over the spirit of the ani. nal. It was hard to tell which was tho most surprised, tho Indians or the dog. After filling his pockets with gold and taking another iistiui from the CUTS tall tho professor Jeff the redskins In peace. He had not been gone ten minutes before the latter bounced upon the poor doomed ani. maj and cut him wide open.

Mixing Religion and Politics.
Washington CrItlc,


 A minister visiting congressman family in the West End conducted family prayers the first morning after his arrival, at which the copgresamau was not present, and tho small boy oi the house interviewed him at break fast. "What was that you prayed forl' he inquired, abruptly.
 "Why, Johnnie !" expostulatcd the mother, "you must"
 "Oh, let him go oD," said the minis ter, with a smile. "I love to hear these innocent little prsttlers. You want to know, my child, what l prayed for2"
 "Yes, sir" responded the boy, po- litely.
 "Well, I asked the Lord Of Wisdom for guidance, for protection"
 "Thats It." said the boy, interrupt ing him; "that's 1t. You prayed for pTotsctionW
 "Yes, my boy" replied the sur prised minister.
 "Well, you can't do 1t any more in this house. My pa is free trader, and if he gets onto your racket he'll raise a row with you suro."
 Explanations followed, which re- moved the limit from the minister's petitions.

A Business like Offer.

For many years the manufacturers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy have offered, in good faith, $500 reward for a case of Nasal Catarrh which they cannot cure. The Remedy is sold by druggists at only 50 cents. This won- derful remedy has fairly attained a worldwide reputation. If you have dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal passages, discharges falling from the head into the throat, some- times, profuse, watery and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous, pur- ulent, bloody and putrid if the eyes are weak, watery and infamed if there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hacking or coughing to clear the throat, expectoration of offensive mat ter, together with scabs from ulcers the voice being changed and has na- sal twang the breath offensive; smell and taste impaired sensation of diz- ziness, with mental depression, a hack ing cough and general debility, you are suffering from nasal catarrh. The more complicated your disease, the greater the number and diversity of symptoms. Thousands of cases annu-
 ally, without manifesting half of the above symptoms, result in consump-
 fion, and end in the grave. No dis
 ease is so common, more deceptive and
 dangerous, or less understood, or more unnecessarily treated by physicians.

THE TWO AGES.

Hol for the days of sword and lance, Of chivalry and bold romance, When lovers had some sort of chance
 To win a mistress fair; When rivals all were free to light Their quArrels out, by candle light Or, in the tourney, every knight
 His old accounts would square Sir Percy saw his lady smile PerchAnee on Str Olive Iles Which straightWAy raised that noble's bile
 Then tooth and nail would ride These valiant knights, and deftly break A lance, or head, for her sweet sake; And he who won had leave Co take
 The lady for his bride. Now have rivals, six or eight, Whose noses could dislocate With much delight, beg to state,
 If laws were only lax; Yet may only scowl or froWn Whene'er we meet about the town, Or at the most to run them down
 To friends behind their backs. Alasl in these prosaIc days A lover treads no primrose ways; He iST5 not even sing loves lays
 Beneath her walls st night, For fear that an alert police Should run him in for breaking peace Or alien bootjacks made him cease,
 Hurled by hand of might. Once wooing was a noble art; It needed but a valiant heart To safely speed the flying dart
 In those brave days of old. There was no coin to win loves gage Without some higher heritage. We'll may we miss the Golden Age
 In this, the Age of Goldi -Ho'hdn.

The trouble with many proprietary medicines--once popular, but now neg Iected-h that the manufacturers, not content with reasonable gains, have sought to increase their profits by using inferior ingredients. Such dis honest experiments always prove fatal. People soon abandon remedy that fails to be effective, DO matter what Its cost or previous reputation. The immense and constantly increas- ing demand for Ayers sarsaparills, since its introduction to the public, forty years ago, is doubtless due to the fact that Its original formula has been strictly adhered to. The ingre- dients used are always the same and always the best, while the methods of compoupding them have improved with the advance of science. Hence, this medicine leads all others in popu- lar demand.

It cheeks premature decay of the teeth, com- pletely removing tartar from their surfaces, interstices and cavities, whitening them, rendering the gums healthy and corslline and the breath as balmy e the odor of flowers. The gritty and acid properties which ren- der many tooth powders and washes objectionable are not to be found in SOZODONT, America's favorite teeth restorative.

There was an interesting Sunday-school
temperance concert at the Congregational
church on Tuesday evening, Jan. 81, I'M
der the direction of Mrs. o. NJ. Bump.
The evening was beautiful one and the
children as well as the older people
seemed to enjoy it very much. The chill
drsn sang sweetly under the leadership
of Mrs. Sawyer, and the church choir,
led by DR.. Bump, gave US some choice
music.
John Weeks was very much surprised
on Wednesday evening, Jan. 25, on re-
turning from the store about o'clock
p. m. to find his pleasant home fast fill
ing up with neighbors and friends, who
came to the number of nearly one hun
dred, with large stock of refreshments.
The guests were cordially received by
Mrs. Weeks, who had been apprised of
their coming. A hearty welcome was
given to all present by Mr.. and Mrs.
ly in friendly greetings and conversation.
Refreshments were served, consisting OF
biscuits, cake of all varieties, cold meats,
coffee, etc., all in abundance. DR.. Bump,
in behalf of the friends present, gave
Mr.. Weeks present in money, as small
token of their appreciation of his kind
ness in taking care of the church fol
some years past-not as pay, but as re-
hinder that they appreciate his kindness
Mr.. Weeks replied that he had done it out
of pure love for the good cause; that
they were engaged in the service of the
Master, and that he did not charge any,
thing nor wish any remuneration. He
said he was glad to give them warn
welcome to his home and that the gath
ering was perfect surprise to him.

for which collection was taken up and
largely responded to. No Sunday-school
services were held on account of the fu-
neral of Mrs. Parks.
An entertainment given by the Ever

was held on Saturday afternoon. The
children took their parts very nicely and
gave an entertainment they may well be
proud of. The singing by Miss Eva Alb
bey's class of little girls and also the
music by F. O'Champaugh's band of
youthful performers were attractive fea-
lures of the hour. The refreshments
served by the ladies after the literary ex-
ercises were attractive feature of the en-
tertainment. Great credit is due Misses
Lena and Eva Abbey for their efforts in
helping the children, who were present
to the number of about sixty. Mrs. Dea.
j. S. Wilcox kindly furnished us with
the programme, but for lack of space
