The decision of the Court is the high est and best of evidence. When there fore, Hon. J. M. Fisher, of Cabot, Vt., Associate Judge of the County Court, hands down a decision, it is only after the most thorough researches and in vestigation. The eminent judge has recently brought in a decision which affects the whole people of the entire country, affects everybody everywhere, in fact, for it is given in the interests of the health of the community.
 The learned Judge Fisher has had the surest and most positive proof in his own city, from his state and the whole country, and especially in his own family, that Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy won ks the most wonderful and astonishing cures. Overwhelming proofs have bee1 pour ed in upon him that the sick aud dis outraged are given health by it's use ; that weak and tired people are made strong; the debilitated and run down built up anew in power and vigor; the nervous and sleepless supplied with new nerve-force, energy and the bless ing of strong nerves and natural, re- freshing sleep; headache, neuralgia, and rheumatism are banisheH- -hy it's almost magic power; it makes rich and vital blood, gives good appetite and di- pestion, cures liver and kidney com plaints; in fact, Dr. Greene's Nervura is the one remedy sure to make you well and strong.

Wnman,s Conferences.

Every place of small or medium size that divides itself sharply on church or club or } cial lines would do well to have at least )ne organization to draw together women of opposing sects or sets in devotion to some common aim and good. Such club should be on such broad lines as to include every respectable woman who wishes to become a member, and with 8 merely nominal membership fee. The meeting may be held in the lecture rooms or audi toriums of the different churches in the place, and the subjects discussed be ethical ones or current events. A paper on some subject, followed by discussion of 1t open to every member, may be the means of spreading sweetness and light" and sym pathy and higher ideals of living and thinking through a community.
 At one club, organized to unite com munity which has been in existence seven years, hospitality, toleration, personal re- ligion, patriotism, dress reform, the train ing of the children, the kindergarten, the public schools, business relations and san- itary housekeeping have beon among the subjects discussed. As the list of subjects for each paper is known at the beginning of the seasons work each woman has an opportunity to find out what she really does think in season for the disoussion.- New York Post.

The distinguished Judge says:
 Hast winter my wife was very sick, taken down with the grip very severely. We employed the usual methods of physicians and she inn proved some, but was left very feeble, so that she could hardly get around the house.
 "She continued along this way, un- til friend advised us to use Dr.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. We used two bottles of this medicine, and I am rejoiced to say that she is much improved.
 ''I think it is the best remedy we have been made acquainted with and have no hesitancy in recommending it to others"
 Endorsement like this is all the proof that Dr. Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy will cure that anyone could desire.
 Don't fail to use this surest and grandest of medicines, if you want to be sure to be cured. Dr. Greene's Nervura is not patent medicine, but the discovery of the well-known physician and specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York City, who has used this wonder full prescription in his immense prac tice among the sick, and who can be consulted free of charge, personally o1 l bY letter.

Old and New Heroinos.

The novelist may not rank as a scientific authority in comparison with tables of vital statistics, but there is curious and suggestive contrast between the maiden up to date and the heroine of the old nov elists, which in somo ways, as fur as phys ical health and nervous stability go, is in favor of the former, although Sophia Vest ern would never have sunk to the moral level of Gallia or Mildred Lawson.

WHAT A BULLDOG DID.

 Bear Was Small Game For This PartiO-
 ular Canine.
 There were five officers from Fort Reno and four from Fort Kearney, and seven or eight citizens from the east who had come out for hunt, and we had pitched our camp on the eastern base of the Big Horn mountains, at the head waters of Clear Fork river. One of the civilians, who hailed from Boston, had brought along his bulldog, and though he was guyed and ridiculed hundred times over he insisted that the dog should be taken along on the hunt.
 "You just wait l'' he replied to all sar castle remarks. II want t0 see him tackle bear, and if he gets chance to it's dollars to cents that he comes out ahead"
 One day six of us went off up the mountain, and the owner of the bulldog was one of the party. His dog was at his heels, as a matter of course, but as we were out for the climb more than in expectation of sighting game no one ob- jected. We had reached point thou sand feet above camp and directly over it when big cinnamon bear which had been snoozing alongside of a rock start ed up with "woof!" Before any one had scarcely got sight of him or realized what sort of game it was the bulldog rushed forward and tackled him, getting tail hold.
 "Stu-boyl Hang to himI Now'e your shOw' yelled the man from Bos- ton, and the bulldog got a death grip. Old cinnamon hadn his nerve with him that day, and the first move he made was down hill. At his first plunge he started a good sized powder from it's bed, and 100 feet down he dislodged g great mass of earth. That was the start of an avalanche. Earth, rocks, trees and powders began to move, and strip soc feet wide went booming down into the valley, The men in camp heard and saw it in time to escape, but it swept away every tent we had and filled the bed o1 the creek 30 feet deep with debris.
 "Not an ounce of provisions, a cook ing utensil nor a blanket was saved. Where our camp had stood was a mass of earth and rock 15 feet deep. We got down as soon as possible, and men were sent off to Reno to bring back a new outfit. No one ever expected to see that bulldog again, of course, but three hours later he walked in among us as if noth- ing had happened and hadn't so much as scratch on him. We looked and looked, but no one spoke for two ol three minutes. Then the man from Bos- ton suddenly remarked:
 "'I told you he'd get away with g bear, but wasn't so sure about an ava. lanche. I've raised his price to $3, 900, and don't care to sell at thatP De troit Free Press.

The New Pledged Banker Threw Up His
 Hands For the First Customer.
 One of the "old settler'' lawyers of Bill ings, Mon., has been spinning early times stories to Tho Gazette, among them being the following:
 "In the year 1889 H. H. Mund came in hore from Deat!wood to start a bank. Al though he wasn't exactly verdant, he had not been out west long and had a very con. siderable respect for six shooters and other implements of a like nature which were wOrA as ornaments by almost every one ir those days. He had some experience, too in dancing in Deadwood, at which times he would become very playful and his an tics afforded much amusement to those who gathered to look on. For this and fol other reasons he had become very conserv. ative and avoided mingling in any ques tionable society.
 "The building in which the bank was tC be located was a frame, and was not fin. ished when Mund and the safe arrived, SC the safe was put temporarily in 8 tent which was occupied by Pulley, Hart & FrieZe as a hardware store. Mund had been in these quarters but few days when rough, wild looking man, dressed ir Montana broadcloth, with a winchester over one arm and brace of six shooters in his belt, stepped into the tent and in a gruff voice inquired for the new banker. Mund was pointed to as the man wanted, and the westerner approached.
 "'Ugh! Are you the new banker?' saiG the stranger
 Yes, sir. Anything can do for youP
 ''The stranger reached down in his pockets, and in an instant up wont Mund's hands and his face became as pale as death, while his knees knocked together and be came so weak that he could not take ref uge in flight.
 "A broad smile spread over the face ot Tom McGirl, the cattle baron, as-insteaC of a six shooter, as Mund expected-ht drew out $25, ,O0O in bills for deposit anC asked in his grUff, businesslike way:
 Are you ready to do a little businessF

Hawkins and His Dog.

Not long ago MT. Justice Hawkins had a fox terrier named Jack. Once at War wick Jack and his master were caught rafting by farmer on the banks of the Avon. His lordship, nowise discOncerted, rendered q sovereign to cover the trespass, which the farmer, affrontcd by such cool proceeding, refused with indignation.
 "You had better take it, '' said the judge. Hts reasonable offer" Then the farmer got so angry that Sir Henry announced himself. "And, what is more, sir," said he, ''you shall go with me to the Warwick Arms and crack a bottle of champagne with that sovereign immediately" The story adds that there was free rafting for Jack on that bit of land as long as he lived.
 Thero are other stories about Jack, and it is said that when sitting on the bench with his. master he once venturcd to ex- press his opinions on the matters before him in a singularly loud tone. Tho tale goes that Sir Henry, with the greatest promptitude, directed the ushers to "turn that dog out of the gallery" The ushers of course did not find dog in the gallery and nobody ventured to look under the bench.
 On solemn occasions Jack was always attached to the judges wrist by long blue ribbon, and many 2 junior has be- guiled tho tedium of case by watching the ribbon gradually uproll as Jack pur- sued his Investigations, while Sir Henry every now and then hauled in the slack D .-LOndon Tit.B
