Makes many lives miserable, and often leads to
self destruction. Distress after eating sick head
ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres-
sion, etc., are caused by this very common and
increasing disease. Hoods Sarsaparllla tones
the stomach, creates an appetite, promotes heal
thy digestion, relieves sick headache. clears the
mind and cures the most obstinate cases OF dys-
pepsIa. Read the following:
II have been troubled with dyspepsia. 1 had
but little appetite, and what did eat distressed
me, or did me little good. In an hour after eating
/ would experience a faintness or tired, all-gone
feeling, as though / had not eaten anything
Hoods Sarsaparilla did me an immense amount
of good. 1t gave me an appetite, and my food
relished and satisfied the craving dlpreviously
experienced: 1t relieved me of that faint, tired,
allgone feeling. have felt so much better since
took Hoods Sarsaparilla, that / am happy to
recommend it," G. A. PAGE, WATERFOWL, Mass.

Hiram Howe, one of the old-time drivers,
backs up Hiram Smiths opinion of Noon
tide by Harold, dam the mother of Jay-Eye-
See. Howe says that when he gave Noon
tide record of 2,20a it was no mark at all
for her, as he had driven her mile in
ZIG, she doing the distance with perfect
ease. and this led him to believe that had
she not broken down Noontide would have
gone as fast mile as ever has been trotted.
Noontide, by the way, had a very romantic
history, SO the Breeders Gazette says: At
the time of her birth Maud S. had not ap-
peared, and Pilot, Jr., was not as highly
estimated as at the present day. She was
sold at an auction sale of yearling trotters at
Woodburn farm for $50, being purchased by
an old negro who worked on the place, and
subsequently disposed of by him at a Slight
developed good deal of speed, and before a
great while $4,000 would not have bought
the animal for which the negro paid $50.
The latest diabolism on the race-track is
the use of the hypodermic needle. 1t seems
that some men who have had the entree of
the best tracks have managed to inject NOR
phine into horses that they wanted to dis
ooiO eompoiaiiiy' 1ucy nave uOu6 IL Wltl-
out exciting suspicion by hiding the iniec-
tion Eeedle in one hand and seeming to slap
horses on the buttocks with some such
natural remark as "Here's the horse for nv
money" The drug takes effect in half an
honr,. and the horse goes around the track
with his head down, the wreck of his former
self. II not too frequently done it does not
harm the animal.

THE sheep industry in Montana, TAX
en- at large, was never In more prosper
Gus condition. The clip bids fair to be
one of the best and the total product of
wool the largest yet produced. Fully
100000 pounds will be the product of
1889, which, with the present outlook,
at 20 cents per pound, means small
item of revenue. This, added to the
100000 which would represent the
value of the increase in the fiocks, would
make total of $4,000,000 for the sheep
industry of the Territory for 1889. Next
to mining, this is now believed to be
the leading enterprise of the Territory.

And each little eat had three little kits,

In dresses and ribbons gay,

upon the enjoyment of thousand years
of universal peace and happiness. 1t
may be so, though the signs of it are not
