If You Had a Friend

About to visit some section of the
country where malarial disease,
either in the form of chills and fe-
yer or bilious remittent, was par
ticularly rife, what would be about
the best advice you could give him?
We will tell you-to carry along or
procure on arriving, that potent
medicinal safeguard, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, known through
out malaria plagued regions, here
and in other countries, as the sur
est means OF disarming the mias-
matte scourge and robbing it of its
fell destructive influence. Not only
does it tortify the system by in
creasing its stamina, but over
irregularity of digestion, the liver
and the bowels, and counteracts
the unfavorable effects of overex-
ertion, bodily and mental, exposure
in rough weather, or occupation too
sedentary or laborious, loss of ap-
petite and excessive nervousness.
The functions of alimentation, bill
ious secretion and sleep have in it
most powerful and reliable auxil-
iary.

HE WAS BUNCOED.

Just tell them you saw me-" is
what c. r. Elliott of Alabama.
heard last night, while seated in a
Cotton Belt passenger train for
Waco, from a slick young man who
seated himself beside the above
gentleman, while the train was
standing at the depot here.
Mr.. Elliott came in on the Iron
Mountain railroad, and his ticket
read to Waco via Cotton Belt
route, and as a matter of course.
he was told to change cars from
the Iron Mountain to this road.
He was shown to the Cotton Belt
train and went in and took his
seat, Soon there came a nice
young man q, dressed in fine
broadcloth, with a clerical looking
vest and "choker" on, and he enter
ed into conversation with Mr.:
Elliott, and learned from him that
he was bound for Waco. Then the
young man told him he lived there,
and pulling a card from his pocket,
he said: This is my fathers card,
and when you get there lust tell
him that you saw me, and he will
see that you have high old time,
and shall want for nothing"
About this time another man ap-
peared and demanded of the cleri-
cal looking man, to pay him excess
freight on lot OF boxes before he
would put them on the train.
The young man exhibited a 500
bill, but the make-believe railroad
agent, had no change, and they
called on Mr.. Elliott to change the
bill. He put his hand in the inside
of his shirt, where he carried his
wallet, and pulled it out to make
the change, and being slow about
opening it, the clerical looking chap
took it out of his hand to help him.
At this juncture he and the conf
dence man said to Mr.. Elliott, "Just
a minute, excuse US" and they
were gone with his pocket book and
$85.
MIR. Elliott deferred his trip to
Waco for day, hoping to catch
the rascals, and he is now at the
Benefited hotel. 1t is strange men
never learn to let these frlsky fell
lows on railroad trains alone, for it
is an old game they play, and Of so
frequent occurrence that it does
look like they would sometime catch
on.

PROMPT SETTLEMENT.
An Insurance Risk Promptly

An Insurance Risk Promptly
Paid.
The New England Mutual Life
Insurance Co, for which Castle &
Cooke are local agents, is one of
the oldest in the United Stats. 1t
has the reputation, among the
people over there, as the most
prompt company in existence in
the matter of settling claims.
There was a time when it was
question whether the insurer or
the insured ran the greatest risk
when ii policy was issued, but
through all those times of finan-
cial depression the New England
Mutual was not on the suspected
list.
Careful in the selection of risks
and conservative in the manage
ment of the affairs of the com
pany and the vast capital, the
company stands prominently at
the head.
The following letter from Sen
ator Waterhouse explains itself:
