Helping the Right Side.

To help the right side is not only COM
mendable in n general point of view, but is
iudcious and prudent when that help 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 af-
fordcd by Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters. an
anti-bilious medicine of incompatible eff
cacy. lnaction of the liver is accompanied
by constipation, ck--headache, furred
tongue, nausea, occasional vertigo, an un-
pleasant breath, yellowness of the skin and
ball of the eve. The author of these symp-
toms, liver complaint, routed by the Bitters
is accompanied by them in its flight. Fe-
yer and ague, which always involves the liv-
err, dyspepsia, rheumatism debility and
kidney troubles are all maladies TO the ear
ly relief and final cure of which this stand
ard medicine is adapted. Don't use it by
fits and starts, but Systematically, that its
full effects may result in a perfect restora-
ton of health

The fact of the matter was, Judge
Eldridge had higher aspirations for his
daughters future and intended soon
to take her to Washington and New
York. His objections to young Thurber
were, in tho main, those he had first
named, but he was glad to have the
others.
John Thurber was much disappointed,
but he did not give up hope Immediate
ly. That night he conceived bold
project, which, if he could carry out
successfully, would at one stroke dis
perse three of the four objections
raised by the Judge.
He would himself attempt The capture
Of Hank FSiSStone!
If he could do this he would win
fame, would be able to hurl back the
charge of cowardice and would also be
able to show that he had no personal
sympathy with the moonshiners.
The next morning Thurbcr learned
that Judge Eldridgc had left town to
be gone three or four days, so he
thought he could not choose better
time than the present for his task, and
might be able to surprise the Judge on
his return.
John Thurber was a young, athletic
giant and, although called coward
by Judge Eldridge. was an utter
stranger to fear. He proposed, if a
capture were possible, to have all the
credit himself, and decided to make
the attempt quite alone.
Disguised as a countryman, he WIS.,
tied the haunts of the moonshners and
In day or two had learned something
of She movements of Hank Firestone.
lie became aware that the redoubtable
Hank was likely to ride alone in GER
tain direction on the evening of the
third day of his adventurous search.
1t was lonely mountain road along
which Firestone would pass, and at
one point he would be six miles from
his friends at either end. Unfortu-
nately the night was rendered bright
by the light of II full moon; but that
made no difference to John Thurber.
He knew il was a risky business and
that his chances of escaping with his
life were no better than his chance of
capturing Hank-pcrhaps Simmer;
but that made no difference, either.
John Thurber was one of those stub
born and persistent men who, once
having resolved on certain course of
action, know no "let-up" until they
accomplish their purpose or die in
their tracks.
So early in the evening he was in
hiding. The very loneliness of the
place and the wildness of the sur
rounding country, rendered weird aud
solemn by tlre bcwitching moonlight,
was enough to unnerve most men.
Bat John Thurbcr stood his ground,
holding in his hand lariat ready to
be thrown over his intended victim,
while his pistols were ready cooked in
his belt. He had not waited very long
when sure enough man approached
ON horseback. Closer he came, and
when within twenty feet John flung
his rope. The moose dropped right
over tho horscman and in an instant 1t
was tightly drawn and John had his

about Smithville, and only one man Of
any account had ever been known 10
speak harshly of the notorious moon
sinner. That man was Judge Eldridge.
or course, when he was on the judicial
bench, II became him as the official
interpreter of law and order to resent
and deprecate the lawless practice OF
Firestone and his crew. But 1t wa:
not only in public that he expressed
his ill-will toward the moonshiners.
Long after his retirement from public
duties he still cherished a strong hatred
for Firestone and his followers, and
had actually offered to pay n thousand
dollars TO ANY man or men who would
secure Hank Firestone's arrest
Now there were two other persons
in Smithville whom IL will interest Us
TO know. One was very beautiful
young lady-an adopted child of Judge
Eldridge' s-known as Miss Sadie Ed.
ridge the other rising young law
yer of Smithville, John Thurber, who
was known to be very warm admirer
of the aforesaid Miss Sadie.
These two young people were very
well satisfied with each other, but the
Judge most decidedly objected to
young lawyer Thurber as prospective
husband for the adopted daughter
whom he thought. indeed, too good
for the best man in Kentucky.
So when, one fine morning, John
Thurber asked the Judge, in blunt
and straightforward manner, if he
knew of any reasons why he, Thurber,
should not marry Miss Sadie at an
early date. the Judge replied with a
great, big YES!
ayes, John Thurber, there are seve-
raj reasons. any one of which is sufii-
cient in itself. First of all you are not
wealthy, neither are you famous in
any way. Secondly, l have reason to
believe you arc coward, and none
but the brave deserve the fair. Lastly,
though by no means least, you have in
a manner allied yourself with the
moonshiners, and that fact alone would
forever bar you from marrying any
one, for whom | care, with my consent.
No, sir; l most distinctly refuse any
encouragement to you in this matter. "
This reply of Judge Eldridge's needs
some little explanation. What he said
in regard to John Thurber's wealth
and fame (or lack of both) was true
enough. His remark in regard to the
young lawyers lack of bravery referred
TO the fact that John had refused to en-
list In the Confederate army. and
, the Judge insisted always that he
joined the North because he saw
1t was going to be the win
ming side. 1t should be remembered
that the events recorded in this story
took place year or two after the close
of the war;. Young Thurbers con-
nections with the moonshiners was
merely of professional character. He
had defended one of their number
when arrested and his tact and elo-
quence rs n lawyer had gotten his eli
ent OF scot-free. The Juage, with his
old dislike for the moonshiners so often
and loudly expressed, had never over
looked this glaring fault in young
Thurber.

For feel the chilling breezes
From the river fan my brow.

And almost hear the murmur

They will bear the fragant blossoms
On my silent breast TO lay,
