Protect Your Health.

Cold and moisture combined have tor
porising effect upon the bodily organs, and
the digestive and seeretive processes are apt
to be more tardily performed in the winter
than in the fall. The same is true, also, of
the excretoiy functions. The bowels are
often sluggish, and the pores of the skin
throw off but little waste matter at this sea-
son. The system, therefore, requires open
ing up little, and also purifying and regu-
lating, and the safest, surest and most thor
ough tonic and alternative that can be used
for these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Persons who wish to escape the
rheumatic twinges, the dyspeptic agonies,
the painful disturbances of the bowels, the
bilious attacks, and the nervous visitations,
so common at this time of the year, will do
well to reinforce their systems with this re-
nowned vesetable stomachic and inyigorant.
1t improves the appetite, strengthens the
stomach, cheers the spirits and renovates the
whole physique.

Death of Mise Lula Knitted.

Hiss Lula Knitted, daughter of
Mr.. q. Knittle, died at the home of
her parents in Burton Monday about
10 o'clock a. m. after an illness of
less than a weeks duration with
pneumonia.
Miss KNITTED was about sixteen
years of age, charming young lady
just blooming into beautiful woman
hood surrounded by a host of friends
and admirers who will learn of her
death with deep regret. Only a week
ago Monday she left this city, where
she had been visiting some of her
numerous friends, and none who
bid her good bye then dreamed that
it was a last farewell, and that in a
week she would pass into the cham
bers of everlasting silence. Death
is sad at any time, but sadder still
when his icy hand is laid upon one
SO young, so fair, so full of promise,
and the tender bud is cut down by
the chilling frost of death.

A Mean City LAWYER.

We have often heard of the cute
traits of the Philadelphia lawyer and
of his being able to master things that
seemed impossible to his country prac-
titioners, but we learned of little in
cident occurring short time ago, in
in which e justice of the peace not a
mile from the court house learned how
very exact a member of the Philadel-
phia bar could be. The lawyer had a
claim put in his hands for collection
against a certain man in town to the
amount of nearly 500 and sent it on
to the justice to have him sue the party
at once, enclosing a check for g to de-
fray the necessary costs.
The justice called on the aforesaid
business man and stated the facts. A
few days passed and the business man
called on the justice and paid him the
claim in full. The justice RENTED the
amount to the lawyer, and, wisely or
unwisely for him. stated the money had
been collected without suit and that
he would retain the check of 50 for his
trouble. Here the lawyer baked and
wrote that unless the check was re-
turned at once he would order the dis
trict attorney to bring suit for receiv-
ing Illegal fees.
The justice waited and found the
lawyer had really written the district
attorney, and in order to accommodate
the city attorney the justice returned
the check, receiving nothing for his
time spent in collecting the money, be
sides the waste of postage. Perhaps
this justice will not trouble himself coli
lecting any bills for this polite gentle
man of the Quaker city in the future
Cleartield (Pa.) Republican.

They Say That.

Strawberries are ripe.
Flowers are blooming in pro-
fusion.
We must have an artesian well,
electric lights and the big cotton fac
tory before it can fairly be said that
Brennan is booming.
Considerable repairing, painting
and improving of homes in
Brennan is going on.
Cotton is coming up, but these
cool mornings have the effect of max
ing it look sick.
The farmers are, up with their
work and in great many instances
ahead of it.
That you will never get what you
want unless you ask for it, hence it
behooves the citizens of Brennan to
ask in tones of thunder for factories
the things we most need.
Brennan has as many beautiful
flower gardens as any city of its size
and as many pretty girls to look af-
ter them.
1t is bad policy to mortgage your
crop.

That Brenbam is selling goods
cheaper than any of her neighboring
cities.
The ice factory is running.
The schools are fourishing.
Spring chickens are late ripening,
Country butter is getting more
plentiful on the market.
District court still in session.
A new grocery store in the city.
What about the charter amend
ments? Has the committee gone
into state of inocuous desuetude!
Eggs are cheap and plentiful in
the market.

AS an evidence of Taylor's rap

the fact might be cited that the

The fremen of Hampstead dis

out, which set fire to an upper story

enthusiastic in their praise of him.
In the early part of the meeting one
of the speakers spoke in behalf of
Mr.. NJ. ]. Jacobs for Alderman of
the Third Ward, but as the owl
meeting progressed a change came

before the close of the meeting he

with an oath attachment, but the

Bold Burglars.

Saturday night couple of bur-
glars went to the residence of Mrs.
ThornhilI but the family were
awakened by the noise and lit the
lamp, when the burglars leisurely
left there, crossed the street and en-
deavored to raise window at the
residence of Mr.. A. 7. Threadgill.
He was aroused by the noise, Sc
cured his revolver and raised the
window, firing at them as he did so.
After the first shot he saw them
plainly and jumped out of the win
dow, and thinks he could have
stopped one or both of them had
his pistol not refused to fire. He
keeps a shotgun in his room now,
and is "loaded for bear" and should
they decide to return will endeaYor
to give them a warm reception.

Utilizing the Small Things.

1t is a fact, admitted with all due
humility, that farmers, as a class,
are wasteful. They do not look at
the "small matters" as closely as
the business man must do, or fail.
Bill Nye, IN an alleged interview
with Mr.. Armour, asked him for a
little receipt for becoming a mil
llonaIre, and this was his response:
"Hsre is the secret of the success
of the Big Four. 1t is our system
of carefully utilizing. Here is
glass jar containing boot meal.
That Is valuable for ammonia. 1t
is made from the despised hoof of
the animal after the neatsfoot oil
and other toilet articles have been
removed. Here is jar of white
phosphates, made from the pith of
the horn. This industry will de-
crease if the dehorning of cattle
grows, but probably it will not,
appreoiably. Here is sort of
glue made from the tips of the ears
and nose of the deceased cattle
which die violent death at our
house. Here is substance used
in great quantities by the brewers.
Some time IN the old days before
your reformation you have noticed
when you pulled your beer glass
off the top of the table that 1t had
a tendency to stick. That is a
gelatine substance which we furnish
the brewers IN great quantities. 1t
is made from, the thin white film
which lies between the bone and
skin of the head, and if nothing
more harmful goes into beer it will
never kill people off at a big rate.
Then here is jar of dried blood.
Some is used for purifying sugar,
and considerable is sent to New
Orleans, but most is used for max.
ing buttons. So you see we make
our money by saving it. Not long
ago a Frenchman came TO me and
told me that 1 was losing a million
or so unnecessarily. froze to
him till he told me how. We
found that our big reservoirs con-
tanned water, and in which we gave
the beef a bath to sort of cool il
and close up the pores, had been
emptied into the Chicago river for
years, carrying with it the bou,
quet of the beef. We now con-
dense and compress this nutritious
justice till we get the most stimu-
lating and most delectable extract
of beet that ever gladdened the
tottering stomach of invalid or
child"

The Tadpole.

OF course most people know that
frogs and toads are evolved from tad
poles, but there are some very strange
things about these batrachians that
possibly you don't know. Because
tiris changeling is so well known to
nearly everybody it may be dismissed
by saying that it is born with gills and
lives entirely under water until it
reaches the transformation period I;
then lungs appear in place of the gills,
the tail drops off, legs sprout out, and
an animal fitted to live on land is the
result. Pittsburg Dispatch.

How Jim Charged.

Jim Cannon was plain son of
Erin who went to the war with an
Indiana regiment. He accompanied
our scouting party out one day. The
boys of the Seventieth Indiana told us
to watch him, for he was a fool, and
liable to involve our little troop in a
complication of troubles.
'tAnd the caution proved seasonable,
though it was unheeded. Jim Cannon
crept away from our party while we
were searching the copse that skirted a
neighboring hill, and in less than thirty
minutes we heard a shot fired, followed
after a short interval by thirty or forty
in rapid succession. We fastened to
the spot and picked up poor Jim. He
was tattered. We actually counted
eleven bullet holes in that fellow, and
how do you suppose he explained it to
usl He crept upon party of ten or
twelve bushwhackers eating q lunch in
the shelter of a ravine, and thought he
could capture the entire force. So he
opened fire, at the sans time yelling at
the top of his voice, Surrender. ye
spalpeen rebels!"
And he lived to tell you this storyT
inquired a listener to the narrative.
Live! why, he actually got well;
and learned recently that he now
works in a northern Indiana town. ~
