The Freeport Bulletin has an aquar

an Iowan to the ARGUS, that challenges
admiration for its truthfuness and strict
regard for facts:
MASON Cry, June 1S-You know old
John Russell; they call him Honest John
for short. IL WAS away back when we
lived up on section 10 and there were few
settlers, but lots of Indians. In the fall
Lime creek went pretty dry, and old John
one day got his boys and went into the
willows and got II lot of withes and began
weaving up his big hay rack. His wife
came out and asked what was up now. "
The old fellow said, ''you'll see, F." and that
was all the answer he made to any of
them. The boys laughed at him, hut
the old man kept right on making big
basket of his hay rack. Then the girls
commenced and wanted to know if
he had lost the little bit of sense he ever
did have. but the old man kept on weav-
ing and saying, you'll See"
Bye and bye he got through and
hitched ON his oxen to that ungodly look
ing basket and drove down towards the
creek, followed by all the children.
Down the hill they went, and then the
old man scared them worse than ever, for
he "geed" his oxen round and backed

wards as mule kicks. and back they
went, all crying, John, dear Joha, come
out; youll drown in the big pnol, and
they all started crying like boobies. But
rs he backed down; such sight. All
around that wagon the fish began to
jump and jump and over and over they
tumbled. Now you folks get in here and
get round the wagon and drive them fish
ill.," says he. and in they all tumbled and
acted just like herding hogs. They all
got more excited than ever to see those
big fish jumping, aud the little ones got
through the withes and got away. But
the wagon was filed two-thirds with pike
and muskalonge, and bass. and pickerel,
all squirming. and hopping and wrig
Cling. The old man WAS laughing and
grinnng and saying, You'll see, aud
those oxen had all they could stagger un
der to pull that wagon out of the cre'k k.
They found they had six or seven barrels
full of fish and there was not salt enough
in Mason City to save the whole of
them, and they gave away lot to their
neighbors.
And then the legislators in Des Moin-s
passed law forbidding anybody from
fishing any more in Lime Greek with
wagons. and they don't do it any more

The virus of rheumatism often remains
in the system through life, when it does
not cut the thread of existence suddenly
as it Is always liable to do by attacking
the heart. Ere the grip of this tenacious
disease tightens, it should be unloosed By
that beneficient liberator from disease;
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. which will
free the sufferer at the outset from sub
sequent pain and danger. No purer or
more agreeable blood depurent exists, MS
multitlldes of the rheumatic and neural
gic have ascertained by certified experiN
ence. 1t is through the medium of reg
ular action of the kidneys and bladder
that an outlet is offered for the escape
Of impurities which beget not only rheuN
matte, but gouty ailments, and dropsical
effusions. TO these organs the BitteTs
gives an impulse, never verging ON the
bounds of irritation, but sufficiently Wig
orous to cause them and the bowles to
perform their functions with clock-like
precision. Use it also for dyspepsia, bill
