hc feels the most noble thing in life is to
go straight to the devil"
Not so bud as that, hope at all
events you didn't go that way you arc
looking far too happy and hearty"
" Thank goodness. no I! or rather, frank

| WIS first vex d and then half convinced"
/ remember it perfectly. and you
needn't say another word upon the sub
iect, your looks tell me that you took the
mcdiciae"
No doubt of it: everybody remarks
upon my improved looks and temper: but
must really tell you all about it. got
the old style. rs yuu recommended. and
didn'i mind the litter ta~tc at all. fin

l determined to change oil and try the

costly preparation"

was it said that people fancied themselves

Hercmlcan STRENGTH

Continually on the strain, or overtaxed at in
tervals Is far less desirable than ordinary
vigor perpetuated by rational diet and exer-
else, and abstention from excess Profess
sional pugilists aud athletes rarely attain ex-
treme old age. As ordinary vigor may be
retained by wise regard for sanitary living
and for the protection against disease, which
also 1t may be lost through long sedentary
labor, uninterrupted mental strain, and fool
ish eating and drinking, tho chief and most
immediate sequence of all four being dyspep-
sia. For this condition thus, or in any way
induced, and for its offspring, failure Of
muscular and nerve power, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is the primest and most
genial remedy. Not only indigestion, but
loss of flesh, appetite and sleep are remedied
by it. Inciplent malaria and rheumatism are
banished, and kidney, bowel and liver COM

Wednesday morning and found that the
unknown fellow, who seemed to be well
supplied with cartridges, had began
shooting in Chinatown, and continued
to do so at intervals until he reached
the residence OF Mr.. Steve Wade, on
the Amy road, and there he halted and
fired about twenty shots in front OF the
door. Mr.. Wade went out and asked
the fellow what he meant by such nc

up his hands and go into the house. :"

Remembers His Murdered Master.

In 1884 Sergeant Malloy, who acted
as police sergeant at the Soldiers home
at Tagus, Me-, was shot while in the
discharge of his duty. He owned n
large Newfoundland dog, which was an
inseparabie companion, and was with
him at the time of the shooting. The
dog would have torn the murderer in
pieces but for the interference of other
inmates, and ever since the animal has
displayed peculiar symptoms at tho time
of funerals. Whenever a burial is to
take place ut the home and the band
begins to play the dead march, the dog
will hide among the bushes until the
first volley of musketrv is fired over the
grave, when he will rush upon the fir
ing squad with eyerv symptom of mad
ness, and it is with the utmost difficulty
that he can be kept off. No matter what
the weather, the big Newfoundland at
tends every funeral at the home, ana he
has not missed one since the burial of
his murdered master in 1894.

Live Stock Notes.

J. Il. Kessler haa car Of hogs in from
Craig.
o, c. Higbee, of Unadilla, had hogs,on the
market.
Il. Cochran came in from Wilbur with two
cars of hogs
Iowa had thirty-three cars Of stock on Sat
urday's market, very large percentage of
all the stock received. Ever since Presi-
dent Babcock has taken hold of the affairs
of the Stock Yards company there has been
gradual increase in the Iowa business.
His first efforts were directed toward the
establishment of the necessary tram service
on the different Iowa roads. That done, all
that was necessary was TO advise shippers
of the advantages of shipping their live
stock west instead of east. Iowa shippers
have always realized that this was their best
market but they have been kept away by the
difficulty of reaching the yards. The rail
roads have all improved their facilities for
transporting stock to this market from
eastern points, aud Iowa shippers can now
bring their stock here as conveniently as the
Nebraska shippers.

EVOLUTION OF A PATRoNYM.
How It Happens That Scotchmcn n
often Have Queer Names.

In England there Is great variety
oil personal nomenclature, and, though
we have plenty Of Smiths, Browns and
Robinsons, we have nothing approach
ing to the poverty, in this respect,
which characterizes many localities in
North Britain, says the London Globe.
In certain parts of Scotland, not only
have the surnames been few, but there
has been strong disposition TO ring tho
changes on n very few christian nam es,
with the result that the community, in
its desire to distinguish between per-
sons of precisely the same name, has
been obliged to provide each with q
special label or "to-name,o by which he
can be known. A contributor to the
Scotman says that in the official list of
voters in Scotch fishing town occur
such "to-names" as Deadly" "Pum, y
Den, Cock" +" POST" "Bo," "San-
dyke" "Helen's james, and so on.
Such appellations as those are not nee
essarily nicknames, as we understand
them. Sometimes they are patrony-
mics, sometimes they refer to individ-
ual occupations, sometimes they are
personally descriptive, sometimes they
are mere identitications, ''siguifyiug
nothing"
Occasionally they are simple varia-
tions upon single christian name.
Thus, it may be, one John Bruce, pop
ularly called Jock has son named
William, who becomes "Jocl's Wull. !"
His son, again, who is called William
becomes Jocks Wull's Williamie," !"
while the last named's son, if also called
William, becomes Jocks Wull's
Williamie's Wullsie.o A further form
is "Wullsikie," but that, probably, is
rarely used. The system still obtains
in Scotland, and il it were introduced
into this country 1t might prevent
some of the confusion which at present
exists among our John Smiths, Thomas
Browns and William Robinsons.
