Mr.. Fred Miller of Irving, III. writes that
he had Severe Kidney trouble for many
years, with severe pains in his back and
also that his bladder was affected. He tried
many so called kidney cures but without any
good result. About year ago he began
the use of Electric Btters and found relief
at once. Electric Bitters is especially
adapted to cure all Kidney aud Liver troubles
and often gives almost instant relief. One

Texas Talks.
| am the State of Texas,
The great and only Lone Star,
The biggest in the
Firmament of the Union.
Once | was
The Bully Boy of the Brazos,
The Rip Snorting Rooster
OF the Rio Grande,
And could lick my weight in wildcats,
And chaw up a steer
And use his horn for toothpcks.
could hang hossthief
In four minutes by the watch
And shoot the town full of holes
On seventeen drinks of whisky.
But an not that kind any more;
l am a changed being;
My ways are ways OF pleasantness
And all my paths are peace.
l am sucking dove.
And if anybody wants To kick
My tail feathers off,
| offer myself as a willing
Sacrifice.
I have forsaken the wild aud woolly,
And shall go to Boston
For art culture
And the study of the intel.ectua,s
And beans.
The cowboy shall know me 20 more
Forever,
And the maverick
Shall no longer claim me as Il brother;
That is the kind OF Texas
| am.
And ii those prize fighters
Try to pull of a fight
In my midst,
BY gravy,
Something's going to happen.
| won't have it under no circumstances,
For I've turned over new leaf,
And they don't wart to forget it.
That's me-
But if they want TO lynch hossthief,
