Electric Ritters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener-
ally needed in the Spring, when the Ian
guild exhausted feeling prevails. when
need of tonic and Alternative is felt A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers No medicine will act more surely
in counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache, In
digestion, Constipation, Dizziness yield
to Electric Bitters. Only fifty cents per
bottle at Geo. NJ. Young's Drug Store,

Errors Aads By Telegraph Operstors n
Tranamitting Dispatches

The funny mistakes of telegraphers
are as numerous as those charged up
TO proof-readers. Two on the former
have just come IN A gentleman who
has been an extensive traveller, and
consequently not supposed to overlook
any details, saw his wife of on train
for the slope the other day. 1t was
supposed that everything had been ar
ranged. The good-by and its accom-
paniment had been passed and the gen.
tleman returned to his home. That
night his wife suddenly remembered
that she had left a valuable adjunct to
her happiness and wrote a message to
her husband, which he received the
following morning at his office. 1t read:
Forgot. Think conductor has tel
egraphed for it."
He read it again, and it read as at
first. Forgot what?- he murmured.
and he read it again and kept on read
ing it until the words ran together and
his temples throbbed. He sent a mes
sage to his house asking the servants if
Mrs. - had left anything. They
made no discoveries. of course. Then
he sent n message to the operator at
the Office from which his wife's mes
sage was sent asking him to repeat
it. He waited for an answer. He lost
his luncheon and his dinner waiting.s
He remained at his Office until late at
night. and as he was about to leave
in despair he received an answer to his!
1t read: Forgot trunk. Conductor has
telegraphed for it,
Sure enough. The word trunk"
had been made TO read think" But
wasn't it strange that a man who had
Travelled all over the world should come
to his own home to forget to check his
wife's trunk? He laughed to himself,
after il was all over. But it cost him
lots of worry.
Equally funny is this one:
"A lady in this city had received let
ter from her old home in Connecticut
which caused her good deal Of
trouble. Her answer to it was by wire.
When it was delivered in the Connec-
ticut home it read:
"IIow's the weather."
What an exasperating query at such
time. The letter referred to the
lady's mothers health The dispatch
should have read: Flows mother?''
A little different is this one: A gentle
man of this city sent his wife mes
sage from Washington March 4, 1898,
prepaid. and ii has not been delivered
up to the present writing. The cor
respondencc between the Chicago office
and the Washington and New York
offices aboat the transaction has accu-
mulated until the batch looks like the
papers in long continued lawsuit
Chicago Herald.
