Recently we'll dressed stranger, accom-
panied by boy, entered hat shop in
Frankfort, apparently with the intention
of buying hat. After. much trouble
the storekeeper fitted him with one. and
invited him to look in mirror to see
how handsome he appeared in it. After
gazing at himself in the glass the man
turned round to the boy and said, "How
do | look, Carl?" 'Like a thief"
promptly responded the boy. The man
darted angrily toward him, but the lad
fled from the shop pursued by his ac-
complice. The storekeeper thought it
was very funny, until their long absence
made him realize that he had been
cleverly robbed.

One of our young business men
placed bottle of beer in his game
bag recently, and in company with
another gentleman, started out
squirrel hunting. Asking permits
sion of a farmer to hunt through
his wooded hills, it was granted
with the admonition TO '.look out
for snakes, . as there were plenty of
them. The two hunters finally be-
came separated and the first mem
toned soon got his eye on a squir-
rel and was watching intently 10 get
shot when suddenly his attention
was attracted by SSH il, asiz, y
sort of noise, at his side, and of
course, thinking it a monstrous
rattler, he ran like quarter horse
through the underbrush for several
hundred yards, and was only stop
ped in his mad flight by his COM
panion. The noise was made by
the escaping beer, and the two
were not long in furnishing it for its
misbehavior.

Hon. las. r. Menager.

The Gazette, of this place, studi-
ously avoids publishing anything
that may appear in other papers,
complimentary to Mr.. Menager, and
hence the REGISTER, which is not
hide bound, and always has good
word to say of its deserving citizens,
whether Democrat or Republican,
re.produces the following from the
Richie Gazette, leading Republi-
can paper of this State:
"This State has no ADLER and tru.
er Republican than Hon. James B.
Menager, and the Gazette proposes
to be henceforth counted with his
friends and admirers. He shall go
to Congress from this district in due
time. From this time forward he
has newspaper advocate that will
see that he is rewarded according
to his merits.
Eyes, West Virginia has no ADLER
man than Menager. He is the peer
of Golf, Elkins, CAMPBELL, Hubbard,
Hutchinson, Sturgiss, Mason, Day
ton or any ofthe rest. AS an orator
and statesman he has no superior in
this part of the world.
Mr.. Menager's speech at Point
Pleasant, Withdrawing from the
contest for the Republican nomina-
ton was gem in its line. 1t was
as fine thing of the kind as was
ever delivered. Menager never
made a poor speech. He does not
know how. His life has been de-
voted to the interests of the Repub-
lican party He is able. He de-
serves to lead.
"The Republicans of this State
scarcely realize what prize they
have in James B. Menager, but they
shall, for the Gazette itself has said

The Land ofPromise

Is the mighty West, the land that
'stickled with hoe laughs harry est"
the Ell Dorado of the miner; the goal of
the agricultural emigrant. While it
teens with all the elements of wealth
and prosperity, some of the fairest and
most fruitful portions of it bear harv-
est of malaria reaped in its fullness by
those unprotected by medicinal safe
guard. No one seeking or dwelling in a
malarial locality is safe from the scourge
without Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Emigrants, bear this inmind. CONNER
cial travellers soiourning in malarious
regions should carry bottle of the Bit
tiers in the traditional gripsack. Against
the effects OF exposure, mental or bodily
over-worked, damp and unwholesome
food or water, it is an infallible defense.
CONSTIPATION, rheumatism, billiousness,
dyspepsia, nervousness and loss of
strength are all remedied by this genial
restorative.
