A Subject Of Sincere C0nsratulatiOn
Is the non-possession of an actively SEN
sltive nervous system. There are hosts
of people who, although free frem any
positive nervous disease, are set, so to
speak, upon "tenter hooks" by slight
noises or an unexpected occurrence of the
smallest moment. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is Of inex plicable benefit to the
nervous. Taken before bedtime it insures
tranquil, health-y1elding slumber, and
used between meals it restores that sound
digestion usually denied to nervous in
valids. 1t is also eminently beneficial to
sufferers from rheumatism, malaria, debil-
ity, constipation and kidney troubles.
Persons falling off in the matter of ap-
petite, flesh and the ability to sleep sound
ly should resort at once to this superb
nervine, Alternative and tonic. For nearly
half century it has been leading medi-
cine, and has received the highest tributes
from the medical profession. Use it and
be convinced.

a similar threat of flight of golc

SOME mouths look like peaches
and cream, some like hole chopped
into brick wall to admit door or

Of toothaches, the bunghole of ora

1t Is patriotism's fountain head, and
the toolchest for pie. Without il,
the politician would be wanderer ON

A Trick on a RObber.

While "Tom" Fitch, the orator
and politician, was practicing law in
Tombstone, A. T., says the San
Francisco Post, he had occasion to
visit Phoenix. On the way there
the stage was held up by a lone high
wayman, who not only robbed the
mail and express box, but searched
all the passengers. The fellow found
about two thousand dollars in the
express box, and Fitch lost one hun
dred dollars besides a gold watch
and chain, While still in Phoenix
the robber was captured, and, hear.
ing Fitch was in town, sent for him.
Fitch's face appeared familiar, but
the highwayman had forgotten
where he had seen it, and Fitch said
nothing about the matter.
What will you defend me for ?n
he asked.
Well, I'll tell you what I'll do, -
said Fitch, I'll defend you for five
hundred dollars, but I'll agree to
get you out free on q writ of ha-
