BEAT THAT ALL HOLLOW.
He Could Lose Anything According to His
Story.

The man with the corduroy vest was
telling the story. He said he was there
when it happened. He has the reputa-'
ton among his friends of having been
at every important event since the land
ing OF the ark. Anyhow, this is what he
said:
81 was over at the theater last night
and was standing in the lobby waiting
for some friends who were going with
me to see the show. Two men, both of
whom had been drinking, came in. One
of them the more unsteady one, wob-
bled up to the box office and bought two
seats. He lost the tickets between the
box office and the door.
"When they got to the doorkeeper
and were asked for their tickets the
man who had bought them began hunt
ing through his pockets and looking
hopelessly into his hat. His friend en-
couraged him with maudlin advice and
finally the doorkeeper told them pretty
sharply 20 hurry up and let other people
in
"'Can't do it. replied the man who
had lost the tickets.
"'Why not" asked the doorkeeper.
81 Josh my tickets
"'Why, you couldn't have lost them.
] saw you buy them two minutes ago.
You couldn't have lost two little bits of
pastboard like that so quick
''The ticket loser was very indignant.
He looked as sternly as he could at the
doorkeeper. Then he said:
"'Oh, | couldn't losh 'em, couldn't I?
I couldn't Josh 'em. Thash all you know
bout it. I can't losh anythin'. l Josh

"Freedom from
oscillation"

In its issue of Febr'y 18th
the Railway Age" of Chi
cago gives a very interesting
account of some record
breaking runs on the Bur-
llngton Route between Ga
lesburg and Chicago. The
article saws IN conclusion:
"The BurliDg,on's main
line tack allows the high
est speed to be made with
remarkable freedom from
oscillation. The tram 'purrs'
over the Joints with a de-
lightful rythm and the pas
senger seldom realizes that
he is riding at an extra or
binary gait"
Freedom from oscillation
is thing the Burlington
is famous for all over the
country. No matter how
great the speed, the train is
as steady as any moving
object can be.
How could it be otherwise
with such a track, such roll.

the Burlington's?

BLOODHOUND TRACED A BABY.
After Searchers Had Failed, the Animal
Led Them to Its Discovery.

4 few days ago Bertha, the pretty
four-year-oM daughter of John C. Put
nam, of the little settlement. of Mill
Village. VI, disappeared. All the neigh
bors joined in the search for her. Night
and day the hunt was continued, but
not trace of the little one could be dis
covered. The parents were in despair.
1t was feared that the child had been
kidnapped. Finally the father, in des-
peration, suggested that the state blood
hound Pilot could find some trace.
Anxious to do anything that would in
the least relieve the fathers mind, the
officials took the dog to Mill Village.
The dog was then given a tiny shoe
that had been worn by the child the day
before she disappeared. This he held in
his mouth for minute. Then he dropped
it and shifted the air. He seemed puz-
zled, and the knowing ones were begin
ming to remark that they knew the
hound would not be of any use.
1t really seemed as if the animal
understood their words, for he sudden
ly put his nose to the ground and was
off like shot, dragging his keepers
after him. On he went, crossing roads.
fields and timber stretches, until he
reached Devils Camp" a point about
a mile below Rutland, where there is
small mill stream. Here the animal
suddenly brought up at the edge OF
the water, gave one long bark, and re-
fused to further.
Then the men got to work. They pro-
cured hooks and poles, and the bed of
the stream was thoroughly searched.
All this time Pilot stood by the water
side, though attempts were made TO
drag him away. For the first time since
he had been in the state he refused to
obey the voice of his keeper. Toward
night the body of the missing child was
found. AS it was drawn to the shore
Pilot sprang forward. took the Shiny
dress in his mouth and, raising the
child as tenderly as though it had been
in its mothers arms, trotted back to
the house, the long line of searchers
following.-N. Y. Herald.

PROMPT REFORM OF BODILY
EVILS.

l.. The prompt reform of those bodily
evils, enfeebled digestion, incomplete as
sanitation, inactivity of the liver, kid
iieys and bladder, as well as of the ner-
veus symptoms which these ailments are
especially prone to beget, is always ac-
complished by the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, Il medicine accredited
by physicians, pronounced pure by anal
ysis, and eminently wholesome and
agreeable Surely such a restorative is
preferable to unpalatable and indigesti-
bic mineral drugs and unsanctioned nos
trums. The nation at large assuredly
think so, judging by the unprecedented
demand for the article from Maine to
the Pacific, a demand now supplement-
ed by immense orders for it received
from tropical America, Mexico, the
British and Spanish Colonial posses
sions, and elsewhere. Both at home and
abroad it is recognized as standard
remedy and preventative, the decisive
ness of its effects recommending it every
where.

SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
claims to be a Benefactor to Weakened

Mankind.
There Ia always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so Overhows Win
generosity that he cannot rest until ms
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this prlnci-
pIe that a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind pre-
scription which will cure them or any
form of nervous debility: relieves them of
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural SIZE and vfgor. AS
it costs nothing to try tne experiment 1T
would seem that any man. suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in remedy which will
restore them to health. strength and
vigor. without which they continue to
live an existence of untold misery. AS
the remedy in question was the result OF
many years research as to what combi-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they neeu,
il would seem that all men suffering with
auy form Of nervous weakness ought to
write for such remedy at once. A re-
quest to Fl. @. Oids, Box 1922, kala-
mazoo. Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use of the medicine by giving it a trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
cap afford to give away his discovery.
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.
