a lethargic, dormant condition of the
liver IS hardly to be overcome with dras-

A gentler, pleasanter and far more efrec-

Stomach Bitters. vouched for by the
medical fraternity, tested by the public
for many years. A resumption by the
hillary organ Of its secretive function
with the activity attendant upon health,
return to regularity of the bowels,

Ed Pieser, the florist, has a friend
who resides up on the south side. and
this friend had peculiar experience
not long ago. He went home one
evening and his wife began to tell
him thrilling stories of a burglary that
had been committed in the adjoining
house the night before She expressed
fear that their house might be rs,itled,
too. Her husband laughed at her fears
and when he started upstairs lie said
to her: Now, my dear, to show you
how foolish you are will take off all:
of my jewelry and leave it here OH the
dining room table," whereupon he
did SO, leaving his watch, cuff but
tons, ring and stud in the center of the
cloth. Before he retired he pulled
from a trunk u big A caliber revolver.
loaded it carefully, and placed it by
the bedside, within easy reach. When
he awoke the next morning he hap
pened to think OF the gun and lie
looked for it. 1t was Comet Hastily
jumping from bed he hurried down
stairs to the dining room, only to lind
the side window opened and that all
Of his iewelry had disappeared. He
hated to go back-upstairs and tell his
wife, but lie had to, finally, and she
would have laughed at him had it not
been for the loss. THE idea of their

place n 81, 900 policy upon the stock

by n lady who keeps one of the best
known and. most fashionable estab-

the risk IN every respect good one,
and the premium was all that the com.

he gave me his reasons. You need

None of them will accept it. 1t is d

Oh, reason enough. Whenever a fire
occurs which destroys stock of goods
belonging to woman there is sure to
be trouble, and often lawsuit against
the company which wrote the policy.
The demand made is always largely
III excess of the loss, and the com
pany declines to pay then there is a

On one side of tic court is a woman

what she claims as her own. ON the
