A Youthful Critic.

At Darlington recently minister's lit
tie daughter was attending her first
church service. She had never seen her
father in the pulpit before, and on his en-
trance there her presence of mind forsook
her, and she piped out in voice express
i've of recognition:
"Why, there's my papa up there in that
box!'
Avenging propriety swept down upon
the little maiden, and for a season there
was great calm. But the service was
grievously long to such woo worshiper,
and she became very restless, walking up
and down the pew and signing audibly
1T won't be long, dear, mamma whis-
pered. Whereupon cnsued another brief
period Of quiet, but it was not to last.
Tired baby nature had reached its utmost
limit of endurance, and by and by over
the quiet listeners arose a little voice, clear
and plausible and coaxing:
"Isn't you nearly done, papa?"-Lon-
don Telegraph.

Gold at CripDIe Creek,

The best way to get there is over the
Santa Fe Route. The fabulously rich
gold mining district of Cripple Greek,
Colo, is attracting hundreds of people.
By spring the rush bids fair to be enor-
nous. That there is an abundance of
gold there is demonstrated beyond doubt.
Fortunes are being rapidly made.
To reach Cripple Greek, take the Santa
Fe Route, the only standard guage line
direct to the camp. Through Pullman
sleepers and chair cars. The Santa Fe
lands you right in the heart of the Cripple

We will suppose that your occupation

speak to the desk in some counting house,
or perhaps to the loom in some vast mill
where you are compelled to labor from

day of relaxation. Your return home
every evening wearied mentally and bodi-
ly. Your health and strength begin to
fail. What will most effectually recuper-
nte your vital energy? The weight of
evidence points to no other con-
clusion than that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is your safest, most reliable sheet
anchor. Use it persstently, and your
system will soon regain its pristine vlgor.
Every function will receive healthful
impulse. There is no remedy to equal
the Bitters for nervousness and want of
sleep, dyspepsia, constipation and bill
iousness. Itaverts and remedies all forms
of malarial disease, and is preventive
of rheumatism and neuralgia.
