That Cantankerous Old Woman

Described in the nursery ballad who "lived upon nothing but victuals and drink, 1" and yet "would never be quiet, J was undoubtedly troubled with chronic indigestion Her victuaIs, like those oi many other elderly persons whose diges- tive powers have become impaired, did not agree with her. This was before the era of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, or some of her numerous friends and rela- tives would undoubtedly have persuaded her to try the great specific for dyspep- sia, constipation and billiousness. This would have been a measure of self-pro- lection on their part, for she would soon have been cured and ceased to disturb them with her clamor. The most obsti- nate cases of indigestion, with it's atten- dant, heartburn, fatulence, constant uneasiness of the stomach and of the nerves, are completely overcome by this sovereign remedy. Chills and fever and bilious remittent, rheumatism and kid ney troubles are also relieved by it.

teen or eighteen miles southeast of this place, the horse he was riding slipped and fell, throwing Juan over his head into the rocks beyond, breaking his left collar bone, right thigh bone and dislo- eating his hip joint. Juan was brought into town, and had his broken bones set and dislocation reduced by Dr. Dalby, a day and half after the accident. As now viewed, tied and bandaged up from head to foot, Juan has the appearance of having collided with some of the ele- ments much denser than mortal flesh, or as a fruitless attempt in trying to knock Sullivan out in four rounds.

few days ago in the suit of the owners of the trade marks covering Hostetter's Stomach Bitters against Arnold Theller and Cornell Theller, the compounders located on Vesey street, New York City, in which it was decided that, although the defendants made use of their own names on the labels affixed to the bot ties containing bltters prepared by them, yet as they were evidently designed to initiate the Hostetter labels, they were infringers, and perpetual injunction was granted and an accounting of dam ages ordered, together with the costs of the suit. It is the evident intention of the Hostetter people to protect their val uable trade mark against all infringers.

James E. Porter, Esq, of Show Low, is authority for the statement that Mr. Brown, prominent sheep man of that section, went to Holbrook aboutthe last of June, sold his clip of wool, bought a large supply of provision for himself and herders, and started for home about the first of this month. He was seen pass through Woodruff, on his way and has not been seen or heard of since. It is feared he has been murdered for what money he was supposed to have had on his person. At any rate nothing has been heard from him, his supplies or his team.

A WONDERFUL TREE.
Touch 1t and Wisr and You May

A beautiful young girl evidently
from distance, walked timidly into
the vestibule of the White House re-
Gently and blushingly put this ques--
ton to the usher: please, sir eau
you tell me where the Wishing Tree.
is situatedPn
For an instant the usher was in a
quandary, but i'm the course of brief
conversation ascertained that tho
visitor was in, earnest. Some one had
told her that, there was tree in a.
direct line from the White House and
in front of Jackson's statue which sus-
ceptible maidens. were in the habit
of touching and. making wish as they
did so.
Close scrutiny OF the noighborhood
shows that such u tree exists. The
meridian of Washington runs through
the center of the White House, and i'm
the grounds near the Washington
Monument there was until compara-
lively recent period an old sandstone
column, probably three feet in height.
known as the meridian stone. The
Wishing Tree stands directly on the
meridian line in front of Jackson's
horse, which is so conspicuous an OBJ
ject us one looks north from the White
House windows. According to- the
young lady, If the wish is u proper
one it is sure to- be granted after the
magic tree Is touched. and the bark
shows evidence of numerous, visits OF
the fair sex who desire 10, teznpt
tate.
Probably This tree will beconne rr,Dn-
lar with the sterner sex, now that its
properties are known and its location
determined. especially with many
weary patriots seeking o&ficial elistinc-
ton at the hands OF the presldeat and
