Hanna Surprised His Hostess.

Bayless w. Hanna, late minister to
Buenos Ayres, tells this on himself.
Some months ago at Buenos Ayres, a
rich Spanish banker gave dinner to
some friends, and Mr.. Hanna was
seated on the right of the hostess.
She inquired as to the health of Mrs.
Hanna, who was not present, and
asked how many children they had.
Bayless, not understanding Spanish
very well, thought she wanted to
know the age of Mrs. Hanna,
and said, "Forty-eight, madam"
To his surprise the lady
threw up her hands and ex-
claimed, "Gracios a Dios, que no
tengo esposo Americanor' which, be-
ing translated, is, "ThaRk God, I have
not an American husbandF Next
day the Spanish banker called on Mr..
Hanna and said: you astonished
my wife yesterday when you told her
you had forty-eight children" "Why,
my dear sir" replied the minister, 81
thought your wife inquired as to the
age of Mrs. Hanna, and [ gave her
the forty eight figure. I have only
four children, and they are enough \

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust. health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use OF
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease of the
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long OF
short standing you will surely find re.
lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold al

The Scientific American in its ar
ticle on Aberdeen, says: Men that
are able to handle a dozen yoke of
cattle, and get all there is out of them
when pinch comes, are scarce. For
obvious reasons, cattle alone are used
as motive power in the woods. 1t
will be noticed that the operators
each stand on spring boards set in
notches about five feet from the
ground" The WdShtngtOniGn thinks
that bull-puncher on spring board
would be a novel sight, as we are
quite sure he would not take such a
position unless it were to escape a
sudden attack of bulls or bears: When
it comes to writing up the ''bull Of the
woods" the american is not alto
gether scientific.

These are great days for cheek and
making money with nothing says the
Journal. A Portland cabdriver in
spected a farm at Columbia Slough
near that city with a view to purchas-
ing. As the owner took him for a
capitalist he was very willing to listen
to overtures for selling out. The bar
gain was closed. The price, $4,000,
was to be cash down. The cabman
returned to town, obtained a clean
new buggy from the stable and drove
a money lender out to the ranch.
How much would you lend on the
fine ranch? twenty-five thousand" ;"
was the reply. The cab man. has the
ranch and $4,000 in cash.
