Here is q case that happened out west a
few years since. The graduating class in
one of our medical colleges was advised
at the last by the old professor never to
acknowledge ignorance, bu, always, when
called, 10 give some treatment. One of
the class settled In a western town, and
after some years the old professor, in
travelling, got apiece Of bone in his throat
in this same town, and the young doctor
being called, failed by every means in his
power to dislodge the obstruction, and
then having recognized the old professor,
stripped him and rubbed him with lard.
This so amused the old professor that he
could not restrain hearty laugh, which
dislodged the bone, and he asked the doc
tor, why in thunder did you grease
me."
The reply was, "You told me when
was about to graduate always to do some
thing, 50 CREASED you, not knowing
what else TO do. o."-Williamsport Sun and

Queer Fits and starts.

! The fits and starts-using these words In
their literal meaning-of the nervous peo-
! pie often strike the beholder rs ludcrous.
The nerves of hearing of such unfortunates
are painfully acute. and impinged by unex-
pected noises, lead them sometimes to per-
form antics worthy of 8 jumping Jack. At
the root Of nervousness, In most instances,
Is nOnassimilation of the food, and eonse-
quently innutrition Of the nerves as of the
other tissues Of the body. This prolonged
Is OF course, productive of serious nervous
disease. The remedy Is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, that invigorates the stomach
and enables it to perform its functions
properly. Soon after commencing q course
of 1t, 1t will be found that the nerves grow
more tranquil by day, nightly repose be-
comes less interrupted. and appetite more
vigorous and satisfying. These are the In :
itial indications, followed by the complete
restoration OF nervous vigor. The Bitters
also cure fever and ague, liver complaint
and constipation.

Next in popularity with all classes OF
people is the ordinary Swiss cheese, more
familiarly known as ''Schweitzer kase ~
Wherever there is Swiss or Germans there
is also Schweitzer kase and lager beer.
No free lunch counter is fully equipped
without its slices of rye bread and Swiss
cheese. This cheese is very compact ex-
cept for the numerous cavities scattered
throughout it, varying in size from an
eighth of an inch to full inch in diane
ter When the cheese is of the best quail
ity drop of water, sparkling and as clear
as crystal, will be found in each cavity.
The Germans call these drops of water
"tears, and in giving their order TO the
waiter they usually say: Bring me some
Schweitzer and a ar."-Chicago News

SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL q. 1888.
THE TEN O'CLOCK ORDINANCE
OFF, GENTLEMEN.

THE TEN O'CLOCK KORDINANCE-HAND
OFF, GENTLEMEN.
The saloon-keepers of Springfield hav
taken action that is quite extraordinary
and 1t is as impudent as it is unprecedented
and astonishing. They ask council to re
peal the ten O'Clock closing ordinance, ant
TO allow them to keep open their "place
of business" until IL O'Clock at night, ant
they agree, by way of rewarding ~ ceun
ell, to keep their places closed on Sundays
They are going to keep their places closed
on Sundays, whether-or-no. and IL they dc
not move with some care and circumspec-
tion they will find their dens closed or
weekdays also. Their business" 10 Of
such nature that, if they are permitted to
pursue it all, they should do it quietly and
according to the statutes, and be thankful
If they are not molested.
The request of council was so absurd and
ludicrous on its face, that we did not con-
slider it worthy of any attention whatever,
but the saloon men have been SO active,
and are now so obstreperous, that it is
perhaps worth while to give some little
attention to them. In the first place they
are making a palpable and preposterous
mistake, and they have taken just the
worst possible time In the whole year to
make 1t. The trend of public sentiment,
everywhere in civilized lands. Is against
the saloons. There is no crusade
no Temperance mass-meetings'-no at
tempts to convert" saloon -keepers-yet
there is continuous and rapid
growth of popular feeling against . traffic
that, at its very best, is doing great harm
to individuals and to society. Fortunately,
some of the ssloon-keepers themselves are
getting sick Of the business and are trying
to find occupations in which, If they can
not do any good, they will do no harm.
We.warn all parties concerned in this
matter that the people are opposed to the
aif0rding of any enlarged facilities to the
liquor business. If any attempt is made
to change the hours. it will result in
shorter, rather than longer, time In which
saloons shall be allowed to keep open. This
proposition is loaded with dynamite, and
not only saloon-keepers, but councilmen
who have any disposition to monkey with
the 10 O'Clock ordinance, should be very eau
tious. The great mass of citizens, of all
parties, are earnestly and fercely sp-
posed to this proposition, and the saloon
keepers, If they have any practical sense,
will promptly withdraw 1t before it explode,
and blows them skyward-or in an opposite
direction And should the explosion occur
all the councilmen who work and vote for
the proposition will 20 up, or go down,
with 1t. They should be warned In time
and stand from under, for something is
about to drop-snd 1t Is immensely heavy
and will drop mighty hard
