Hostetter's Stomach Critters is employed to

it is speaking within bounds to say that there
is not in existence a medicine so widely
known as this, and few indeed which have re.

that it promptly relieves, then extirpates, the
three maladies of most common occurrence,

Counting the Jewels.

From the Youths Companion.
The king of one of the Asiatic coun-
tries-so reports a recent writer
causes all the royal jewels to be dis.
played before him twice year, that
he may handle them, count them and
gloat over their splendor. A certain
portion of them belong, as is the case
in most monarchies, not to the king
personally, but to the crown. He can
not sell them, nor give them away, a
fact which may be supposed to lessen
materially his enjoyment in handling
them.
A Southern woman who died lately
at a great age, and who had carried
to the last days of her life a happy
heart and a singularly gay temper,
thus explained the mystery of her I'M
failing cheerfulness:
~ was taught by my mother when
child to reckon each morning before

given me with which to begin the

but was to count the mercies one by
one, from the neat and serviceable
shoes that covered my cold feet to the
sunlight shining on the hill tops.
My school friends, my play, my fun,
my mothers kiss, the baby sister i'm

slider separately, and of every one to

This practice taught me the habit
of thar kfulness. 1t kept my heart
near to him, kept it light and happy.
These everyday blessings were not to
me mere matters of course, but special.
loving touches from his paternai
hand. No pain or sorrow could out
weigh them"
We all have a store of richer Jewels
than the heather king; and. unlike
the crown regalia, these Jewels are
our own, gwen US by our Father.
How many OF us mutter over, as the
day begins, some perfunctory words
of thanks which mean nothing? How
many number their mercies, tasting
the delight and joy of each, and out
of glad hearts thanking the Giver?
And how many quite forget to think
either of them or ofhim.
What better time than Thanksgiv-
ing Day in which TO begin anew to
cultivate grateful temper? On this
festival we are called upon, like the
Oriental king, to spread out our lew
els; and while we rejoice in their rich
ness and beauty, let us not fail to be
thankful to him from whose bounty
we have received them,

THE PASSIONATE POET.

Swineburne Dispensing Loilipops
TO Children.
How very conservative Mr.. Swine
burne is in his daily habits. He gen.
erally takes an afternoon walk from
Putney over to Win bledon, where he
nputs upu for q quarter of an hour at
a house he is found of visiting. He
never carries walking stick or an
umbrella, though L have it on very
good authority that he is not above
| lining his pockets at a confectioner's
shop with sweets and biscuits, and
dispensing these freely to youngsters
whom he meets on the road.
The other day Wimbledon was
deluged and the Common
specially was a place to be
avoided, but when the downpour was
heaviest-about4 o'clock-I saw Mr..
Swim burne calmly marching along
toward his usual resting place, and
he was protected against the un-
gentle rain from heaven by neither
umbrella nor mackin tosh. He was
wet through. From his large brimmed
felt hat rills of rain ran down upon
his garments, his face was skining
as if anointed with oil, his long white
cuffs were in a miserable state. The
number of stories, by the way. which
are told atWim bledon about the poet,
whom every child in the village |
knows and admires, the admiratiOns |
being, no doub, kind of cupboard |
Lowell, is quite endless. The other |
day / asked the confectioner's wife |
whom Mr.. Swinburne honors with |
his custom, whether she knew who
the gentleman was who had just left
her shop. "Oh, yes" she replied at
once, "that's Mr.. Swinburne,
a private gentleman, but he
isn't quite right in his head; he is
what they call a poet, I'm told"
When he is walking along in his
soldierly fashion, Mr.. Swinburne
never takes his eyes off the ground,
and evidently does not see that he
is the observed of all observers. The
other day charming young lady
said to me, in an estacy of admira-
ton: IF / only dared, wouldn't I
like to have the honor of shaking
hands with him. But he looks too
stern" The sternness, however, van
ishes altogether when, on their play
ground on the Common, he sees the
children at play or being wheeled
about in their perambulators. And
f you "catch" Mr.. Swinburne at
such moment, you no longer marvel
hat this is the great poet who wrote
ATLANTA" His face is TRANSPORTED,

light which is not of the earth.-Pall

WIN. myers MOI GUILTY.,
Another Case Of Alleged IIIega.
Voting Falls Flat,
HIS 7 H CELEBRATED
by his Dismissal from Custody upon
his being Declared Innocent by
a Jury of which n Major.
lty we're Democrats

The case Of William Myers, the
Marshall county young man accused Of
voting before he was Of legal age, was
finished in the United States Court yes
terday afternoon. The testimony was
pretty strong on both sides. One fact
that had more weight with the general
spectator than the evidence, was the
youthful appearance OF the defendant.
He appeared to be about eighteen years
old, but General Watts theory Of the
case made him twenty.one years old yes
terday, while that Of the defense made
this his tweptY-seCond birthday. At
any rate 1t was a coincidence that his
case was finished on his birthday, and
in his speech for the defense, Captain
Dovener took occasion TO use this fact
and tho rearing Of the boy to good i'd
vantage.
General Watts, in opening his remarks
for the prosecution, referred to the fact
that members Of jurieS had gone out OF
the court after previous trials and made
remarks which he considered in bad
taste for men in their positions to utter.
The case was given to the jury about
8 o'clock. After being out some time
they came In and reported that they
would not be able 10 agree, but Judge
Jackson sentthem back again, and about
8:45 they came in with q verdict Of not
guilty.
After court reconvened after the noon
recess, the case Of Harrison Rum, Inv
diCted for violation OF the internal reve-
nue. laws, was given to the same jury,
with a request by the District Attorney
that they bring in a verdict OF not guilty.
This was a necessary matter OF form,
owing To the STATUS Of the case, and Rum
was formally dismissed.
After the Myers jury went out, Gen.
eral Watts again insisted on beginning
the case Of William II. Hale, indicted
for voting when he was q nonresident.
Captain povener wanted to try the case
Of William Erskine, Grafton Beall and
Charles Lukens, the Island election
Judges, but General Watts objected and
Insisted on Hale. Mr.. B. s. Allison, Of
counsel in the case Of Erskine and 9TH
era, asked that q day DO definitely set
for the hearing Of that case, and Gem
eral Watts agreed to set It for Saturday.
There was quite an interesting passage
concerning the propriety Of proceeding
at once with the Hale case, Messrs.
Doyener and Atkinson, his counsel,
filed 40 affidavit alleging the absence Of
James Alexander, OF Bridgeport, q wit.
ness whose Testimony was material TO
the defense. The court and Gen. Watts
insisted on going ahead, until 1t was
developed that a summons ordered To be
served on Alexander had really never
been 30 served, when the case was allow
ed to 20 over till this morning and pro-
cess ordered to Issue for Alexander.

says OF his Step Yesterday.
He Means Business.

The seductive and insinuating game Of
policy, which has ilourished like green
bay tree Tor several months in this city,
came to a sudden stop yesterday, Chief
Of Police Delbrugge issued orders TO
every conductor Of a game and every
agent or "writer" Of tickets, that the
game must cease at once. Shortly after
the order was made an ISrELLloEScER
reporter asked Captain Delbrugge about
1t. The Captain said he meant business
and would have it obeyed.

twill quietly acquiesce. Ifthey don't, I

"Has the game been much played
hereP'
~ am told that 1t has. Ihave received
complaints time after time from poor
women whose husbands sq~uandered
their wages on policy. Children have
made complaint that their fathers spent
all their means on 1t, and from numer-
Gus sources come complaints"
"Why has II been let alone so long?'
~ did not propose To stop one and lot
another 90. II has been hard to find out
all who are In 1t, but finally we got into
all Of them, and then l notified them at
once"
Last night people who ought TO know

Doubtless half Of the IETELLI0ENCER's
readers are inquiring, What is policy2

burgh, and had agencies here who
worked 1t quietly. Both these games
ceased to do business In Wheeling, and
a few months ago some enterprising
operators opened up a policy shop In
Wheeling. About q dozen agencies
were established in saloons in different
localities, Then q rival game was
opened, and a little later another. It Is
said a fourth has been in operation q
short time on the South Side. Originally
the main headquarters were on Eleventh
street.
As nearly as a description could be
0btalnedI the game ls played thus:
Three numbers are selected, and these
are written on a ticket. AS low as five
cents can be bet, which Is the reason
that poor people are peculiarly open To
the temptation. There are two draw.
ings a day, at one Of which twelve num-
bers are drawn by chance and at the
other thirteen. II the three numbers
on the tickets arc among those drawn,
the investor gets $40 for 8 cents and in
like proportion for larger sums. There Is
q Saddle" arrangement by which a
small prize Is won Il two Of the numbers
come out. Again four numbers can be
played, In which case Correspondingly
increased winnings are made by the
lucky man. There are numerous intri.
cacies in the system which can only be
mastered by a great deal Of practice, but
enough has been said here to show
what a seductive game policy Is. Those
who have been operating II here have
been credited with getting rich.
