SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres In the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities In the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pre-
nounced by those who have tried II
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try 1t. Sold for SOC or

AUNT BETTY DOWLlN9.
CThe Oldest Old Maid in the United statea)
NAMED in Kentucky until 1868. Since
that time she has made her home with
a great-grandniece, Mrs. Maria Bailey,
and they live now on farm mine miles
southwest of Huntington.
Aunt Peggy's mother lived to the age
Of 100 years, her father was 1o2 when
he died, and she had an aunt, Ruth Tay-
lor, who lived to the age of 116 years.
Aunt Peggy was the eighth of II chill
dren, and she is the only survivor Of
the family except her youngest brother,
Washington, who, so far as she knows,
is still alive. If living, Washington is
near the 100-year mark.
Ever since Aunt Peggy was eight
years old she has smoked tobacco. She
works about the house the same as
the rest of the family, doing chores,
milking the cows, feeding the chickens,
hunting the eggs and assisting with the
cooking and other housework. She has
splendid eyesight, and has never used
glasses in her life.
When asked why she never married,
the old lady replied, with apparent feel
ing:
Just because I didn't want to. This
getting married business is desperate
thing, and never wanted to take any
chances. / have seen so much of It
that don't think want any of it,
never saw any man that thought
would like well enough to marry"
ibid you never have a sweetheart?"
That's nobody's business, young
man." she replied, warmly. when was
a young girl 1 used to go with the fell
lows to dances, log-rollings and husking
bees, and had as good time as any of
the rest of the girls, but never wanted
to get married. We had Just as good
times in those days as the young folks
do now, but it was different"
Aunt Peggy's health is good During
her entire life she has had but one Sc
rious sick spell, and that was about
IL years ago, but at present she is well,
and apparently bids fair to live and
enjoy her old pipe for several years to
come

League Retains the Control.

President Potter. of the League OF
American Wheelmen, has put himself
on record as unwilling to have the
league yield up its control Of racing
unless some organization is at hard to
take up the work where the League
of American Wheelmen drops il. He
has not looked up the track owners
association and is unable to give ar
opinion of its ability to handle the
Pure sport as il should be. He said re-
Gently to q well-known cycling writer:
THE conditions of the year are not
too easy of solution, and 1 AN certain
ly not in favor of the league turning
over the control of racing to any other
body unless l am convinced that the
new organization is capable of caring
for 1t as it should be. At present fail
to see any immediate indication or pos
sibility of an organization being formed
which could control racing as well as
the league has done and is doing at pres
ent. As am unacquainted with any Of
the track owners i am hardly in q DO
s,tion to state whether their association
would be qualified to take hold of the
racing game as il stands to-day"
