Two Of the best known hunters OF Cali
fornin are the two Aris, Ari Hopper, father
and son, Of the serras de San Rafael. The
father shutters dreadfully, and the son isa
giant, with n voice like Il bull Of Bashan,
which, try as he will, he cannot modulate
below roar Whenever the son bellows
out u certain fayorite story, the tather
marches up and down, exclaiming, MS tine
climax is reached, "B-b-boy you lille,
you kn-kn-know you lie"
They were hunting in the San Rafael
mountains, aud had driven two grizzlies
down a steep, narrow path TO n plateau
TINT ended in u sheer precipice, on the
edge of which stood small tree. The
bears were separated, and the son. follow
ing one, drove him up the path, leaving
the father TO tackle his on The plateau.
After chase which ended in his grizzly
getting away from him, Ari Hopper, Jr.,
returned to the plateau. As he came down
the path this is what he says he saw;
"Tbar war the old man up tree, and SO
taken up with the bar that he never even
noticed his only son He'd clum out on
the limb OF that tree over the precipice,
aud Mr.. Grizzly was on the same limb
reaching carefully for him with bis paw.
Every time he stuck his fist out the old
man would jGb at him with his bowie
knife and say, G. back, g back, you pesky
fool, d-d.don't you see II you o-c-oome any

COMPLETELY upRoorED.

How many remedies there are which merely
relieve without uprooting disease. The con.
traSt with sterling medicines which such pallia-
tives afford not only enhances the dignity Of
the former, but serves 10 emphasize the folly Of
employing halfway measures when thorough
ones are available. A marked instance OF this
is the effect, on the one hand, of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters In cases OF chills and fever and
bilious remittent, and on the other Of ordinary
tiers malarial complaint in every stage and of the
most malignant type are completely conquered
and lose their hold upon the system. They are
rarely, II ever, dislodged by the ordinary re-
sources Of medicine, although their symptoms
may unquestionably be mitigated through such
means The same holds good OF indigestion,
biliousncss, kidney complaint, rheumatism,
nervousness and debility. BY the Bitters they
are cured when many remedies fail.

it, This old lniser was, so mean that he
denied himself bread, and only kept his
miserable life in its tenement by gifts of
food from charitable neighbors.
But he was known to have plenty of
money hidden away in his wretched
shanty, and his neighbors at last got tired
OF giving to one SO entirely unworthy.
For some days no one went near the
old man, and the cabin stood desolate.
NO one was seen to go in or out. and at
last the constable determined to take the
obstinate old creature to- Jail. the door
was broken open, and the old miser was
found dead. In his wretchedly starved
condition, and frantic at the Thought of
leaving his loved money behind him, he
had died trying to swallow some of his
own banknotes. Pieces, of them were
clutched In his, hands. and pieces of them
IN his throat had choked what little
breath remained in his body.-Harper's
