We have never sold so many carpets be-

is, because we have nothing but Lowell and
Hartfort carpets, they are the choicest styles
and best make. Either Of them are ID frame

Helping the hight Side.

To help the right side is not only com
mendable in general point of view, hu
is judicious and prudent when that helT
is enlisted in behalf OF the right side OF
the body. Just over the lower ribs in the
region of the liver. The most efficient
help is afforded by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, an anti-bilious medicine of in
comparable efficacy lnaction of the
liver is accompanied by constipation, sick
headache. furred tongue, nausea, occa-
sional vertigo, an un pleasant breath, yel>
lOwness of the skin and ball of the eye &.
The author of these symptoms, liver
complaint, routed by the bitters is accom-
panied by them in its flight. Fever and
ague, which always involve the liver,
dyspepsia, rheumatism, debility and kid
nev troubles are all maladies to tie early
relief and final cure of which this standard
medicine is adapted. Don't use it by fits
and starts, but Systematically, that its
full effects may result in perfect resto-
ration of health.

HUNTING THE MOOSE.


| The True SportSman's Three Methods.
| "Still Hunting" Fire Hunting"
There are three ways of hunting the moose
that are worthy the attention Of the true
sportsman viz. still hunting, fire hunting
| and calling. To the base creature whose sole
| idea of sport is to do as much destruction us
| possible, or turn II TO a mercenary purpose,
there is a fourth method known, to wit,
! ''yarding, y which consists simply in saugh-
tering the poor animals like sheep in Il pen
| when the heavy SHOWS of winter have made
thom prisoners in their yards as their
| chosen feeding q ounds amidst the forest are
called.
Firo hunting explains itself, as it is moth
ing more than hunting 10y torchlight, and
the raison d'etrs Of it is this: Tho moose is
particularly fond of the roots of the water
lily. In erder to obtain this dainty, which
seems insipidity itself to the human palate,
he does rot hesitate TO dive down deep into
the lily pond, If the dive is successful ho
stands in the water munChing one end of his
prize with supreme satisfaction, while the
other projects from his mouth after tho man
nor of cigar, and it is just at this moment
that he falls prey to the willy hunter, who,
knowing the fascination that fire has for the
animal, steals softly along the surface of tho
lake in canoe, with blazing torch or dark
lantern hold in the bow. As the light falls
upon the mooses inquiring eyes they shine
out from the surrounding obscurity like twin
stars, and a well aimed bullet caIri death
to the noble creature they have so innocently
betrayed.
The art of calling, in any perfection, is
rare indeed even among the red men, 1t is
effected by means of Il peculiar birch bark
trumpet. Armed with this the Indian, ac-
companed by the hunter carrying the best
rife, betake themselves to the spot which
holds out most promise of good fortune An
experienced moose hunter lays down the
following as essential preliminaries to success
in calling. The night must be absolutely
calm, for tho moose il so wary that i'll coming
up to the call he will invariably mako circle
down wind in order TO get scent of the ami
nal that is calling him, and as his powers of
scent are almost beyond belief ho il sure to
catch sniff of tho hunter long before the
hunter oan catch a sight of him. Secondly,
it must be moonlight; otherwise how are you
to SEQ your moose when he responds to your
invitatiOn' Thirdly, there must be bull
moose unmatod within reach of your call:
and, fourthly, you must find n dry spot TO be
on, vol sheltered by trees, with open ground
all round it, across which tho moose has to
come in approaching you.
Still hunting or creeping upon the moose
IL, M doubt, of all three methods tho most
sportsmanliks. 1t can be followed through |
tho autumn months and into the winter until |
the snow becomes 50 deep and heavy that to |
harry the poor moose, whose thin, sharp feet |
cut through the crust as would horses hoof, |
is nothing short of a oowardly cruelty. |

There were over 1000 letters in all.
At first Goddard was hlitho and joy
full. His spirits rose and bubbled over
in all sorts Of ingenious dcmOnstra-
ton. There were locks Of hair, min
iature bouquets. and once in awhile a
photograph. The happy rustic exhib-
tied these trophies with undisguised
satisfaction. and all went merrily with
him then. He was the most courted
man in America
BY and by there came n reaction.
The great deeps of his heart were
broken up as his pondcrous and un-
couth affections were gradually dissi-
pated among legion Of admirers. He
became despondent. and finally when
the foreign letters began TO come in
with twenty-five cents extra postage
on every other one he was sick at
heart The subject seemed to have
gathered terrors with its numbers, and
tho reality OF thousand sweethearts
was far more terrible than the rosy an
