SUPREMELY DELIGHTFUL

To the emaciated and debiltated invalid is
the sense of returning health and strength
produced by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
When that promoter of vigor is tested by per
sons in feeble health, its restorative and vital
izinG potency soon evinces itself in improved
appetite, digestion and nightly repose, the
sole conditions under which strength and
nerve quietude is vouchsafed to the human
system. A gain in flesh of course ensues
upon the restoration of digestion and assimi-
latiOn. AS surely as winter follows the fall of
the leaf, does disease shadow the footsteps of
declining strength, when the premature de-
cadence of vitality is not arrested. Maras-
mus, consumption and other wastingimaadies
are prompt to tasten upon the enfeebled.
Avert disease, therefore, with this grand en-
abling tonic, which not only renews falling
strength, but nit! gates and counteracts the
intlrm'ties of age and those of the gentler sex.

A QUESTIONABLE DODGE.

1t has become so common OF late to
regale the public with such very in
teresting stories about one or another
"curious incident" which stories al
ways end in some humbug advertise
ment scheme, that one rarely ever
knows whether he can spenu time in
reading any newspaper statement
whatever. The unlicensed extent to
which such practices are being carried
would seem to call for law to sup
press the use of the public prints for
purposes of deception, for what bet

time under false pretences than to
take his money? Let everybody es-

SOME OLD FASHIONED STOCKS.



MiliionsAre Jay Gould Tells About Some
Of Their Uses Near New yoxk.
Il was not till 1896 OF 1871 that a
church vas erected N Harpersfeld It
was built from contributions made by
the inhabitants. each one furnishing ma
terid of some kind, such as hewn timber,
boards, shingles. etc, being so very poor
at the time that few could furnish any
money. The same year place was built
called stocks, and a whipping post pre-
pared by Isaac Pierce for the purpose of
inficting punishment on any who had
been charged with crime and found
guilty of the same by a jury. A good
deal of curiosity was exhibited, espe-
cially among the fair sex, to get a
glimpse of the ordeal. and after they
were completed Alexander Harper, who
was fond of an innocent joke. invited
his wife to accompany him and examine
the stocks, which were so arranged that
by placing the criminals foot in and
making it fast he could not escape He
therefore requested his wife to put her
foot in, telling her that that fool of a
Pierce had made them, and they would
not hold any one
She put in her foot and he let down the
block, locked the same fast and walked
off amid the hearty laugh of the specta-
tors and her own earnest entreaties, but
soon returned and released her. 1t was.
however, regarded as a rich Joke for
many years afterward But one person
was ever whipped at the post, and he
soon left the county. 1t may be remark
ed in this place that three whipping
posts were erected in Delaware county
at about the same period-the one al
ready mentioned, in Harpersfeld, one on
the place now owned by ex-Sheriff
Thomas, but then in possession of Silas
Knapp, who kept grocery there for
several years, and the other near Col.
Dimnick's in Middletown.
There was but one person whipped, as
have been able to learn, at either of the
last named whipping posts. This person
was one Turner, a carpenter by trade
The charge which was brought against
him. and which he finally confessed, was
stealing some fifty pounds of flour be-
longing to Ezra Halt, from Squire Roses
mill. After sentence was passed he was
fastened in the stocks, which We're con-
structed of heavy plank, followed out
above and below sufficiently to contain a
mans legs when the planks were shut
together. They We're secured by lock.
He was left in the stocks for a day, fur
nishing good mark for the boys, who
showered him with rotten eggs. The
next day he was taken out and fastened
to the whipping post, when the remainder
of his sentence, fifty lashes, was inflicted,
when he was allowed to leave the county,
which he was not long in doing.-Jay

A Dangerous "Founting.n

The more prominent citizens of small
western town had come together one
evening for the purpose of getting the
sentiment of the community regarding
the purchase of fountain for the park
in the center of the village.
Several men had expressed themselves
as heartily in favor Of the measure, when
a penurious elderly resident, famous for
always opposing the ma jority, rose and
said in his squeaking, irritable voice:
"Well, gentlemen, amt in favor of
this founting business; no, sir, 1 amt.
You've went and got a park laid out that
the town didn't need, and now you want
to spend more money on useless old
founting. Well, now, s'posing you git
your founting, and some day when
there's a big crowd around looking at
that founting it blows up and kills four
or five people, and they come on the
town for damidges, then where will you
be with your founting? Then you'll wish
you'd never had any founting!' -Youth's
Companion.

St. Cuthbert. the Woman Halter.

st. Cuthbert would have no female
creature about his place at Landisfarne
not suffering even a COW, saying
Where there is cow there must be a
woman, and where there is a woman
there must be mischief" In the cathe.
dral at Durham, dedicated to him. a
black cross in the pavement marked the
spot beyond which no woman was al.
lowed to pass. In 1888 Edward III and
his queen went to the priory at Durham
and lodged together.
In the middle of the night a monk
broke into their room and rudely awak-
ened the royal pair, saying to the queen
that st. Cuthbert loved not the sex and
that she must up and go. The queen
tumbled out of bed and spent the rest of
the night in the church, praying for par
don to the patron saint, whom she had
offended. In 1417 two servant girls
dressed themselves as men and ''impi-
ously approached the saints shrine,
only to be severely handled by the au-
thorities. Louis Republic.

The Kind of Butter That Is Wanted.

If you study the market and learn
what kind of butter is wanted now. you
will find there has been change There
is not much demand for butter that will
keep, but for butter that is high favored
and also milk favored-a butter that has
no taste of buttermilk. They demand a
butter that has very nearly the same
taste as cream. The whole tendency is
toward getting butter more nearly like
cream, getting butter that is very nearly
the same as fresh cream. We have al
most reached the point where public
taste demands butter made from sweet
cream. - Professor Cooke before Yer
mont Dairymen's Association.

"You Never Visited"

A gentleman who lives out at Edge
water was starting for town the other
morning and he had occasion to cross the
railroad track on his way to the station.
Jogging along before him on the road
was peripatetic peddler, who was evil
IDENTIFY a Hebrew. The latter had bony
horse, which ambled along in some way,
and the wagon in which the peddler sat
was very rickety affair. The Edgewa-
ter man heard the whistle of train as
the wagon neared the track, and he knew
that the morning express was due, but
the Hebrew logged on and apparently
did not hear the train. AS his rig struck
the track the engine of the express
dashed by and caught the rear wheels.
There was cry and crash. The Edge
water man rushed toward the crossing
just as the bew+ldered peddler pulled
himself away from the wreck of his stock
in trade. Strengthening himself up and
gazing after the fast receding train, he
shook his finger at the rear coach and
said, reproachfully: you never vistled.'

The queerest pair of tramps that Phil

at the corner of Ninth and Walnut streets
and begged aims from the passing throng.
Both men supported themselves on
clutches. One had only stump of a
leg, and the other mendicant's right limb
was minus the foot and ankle. Their
clothes were desperately shabby, and
they seemed so utterly woe begone that
the Italian bootblack offered them a
dime, which was promptly accepted.
Little else money came their way until
the closing of the matinee at the Walnut
street theatre.
Presently there came along tall and
well dressed man, who put q silver quar-
ter into the palm of the one whose leg
was closely shorn off. He hads hardly

Courage OF "a Grouse,

On one occasion, in company with my
brother, had gone to the woods and
was there to wait for farmer, at whose
house we had stopped over night, and
who was to come on later with fox
hounds, for we were to try for REWARD
that day. We had got out of the road,
which ran through the forest, and over
rail fence, and were standing under a
large hemlock, when we heard a ruffied
grouse in the distance. He came direct.
ly toward us, and alighted on the ground
about forty feet away. There was a
small gully or water course between us
and the bird. Before he struck the
ground he had taken about two-thirds
of a circle to break his lightning like
flight.
AS soon as he lit he Strengthened up
and took a survey. He soon saw us,
but instead of again flying he swelied up
In most pompous manner. Never had
seen grouse appear larger or more
magnificent. Ny brother looked at me
and 1 suggested that he snap cap at
him. Neither of our muzzle leaders was
charged. AT the sound of the first can
the grouse slightly shook himself, but
seemed to swell his breast out more.
Ny brother continued taking caps from
his pocket and swapping them at the
grouse, bringing his gun up each time
and taking deliberate aim until nine
were exploded. The grouse seemed to
like the sound and to be fascinated by
it and the scene generally. The man
coming down the road with the dogs
alarmed him, and, turning, he ran sew
eral feet and took wing, and we heard
him going through the thick evergreens
away in the distance. = Forest and
