admiral noticed, to his great ,ast'omsn-

LARIATED ANOTHER BOARDER.
How Plan to Allay Timid Woman S
Fears Worked in Big Boarding House.

Our boarding house is usually one of the
quietest places ina ginable. Last night it
was as lively as the next one. The young
lady In the third hall front began 1t. She
heard somebody fumbling at her door
knob. That is, she said she heard some
body fumbling at her door knob. She also
said that it could not have been her UNI
brella tumbling behind her trunk, but
that was different matter. Umbrellas
tumbling behind trunks didn't make that
kind of noise she heard. She was quite
sure that could have been made, only by
some one fumbling at her door knob. So,
of course, she was justified in opening her
door and yelling like a Comanche. 7 ne
woman in the next room poked her Mead
out and the man in the hall room back
came to the rescue.
'Wha. is the matter?" they both asked.

lady gasped r.

there was one OF the lveiiest fights that
has been witnessed in this country since
that seventeenth Of March at Carson
City. AT the end OF ten minutes Wood
was so thoroughly whipped that he had
to be sent home in a carriage. The other
fike minutes OF the recess were spent by
the judge in washing his bands and re-
adjusting his necktie, and when the time
was up he remounted the woolsack ana
went on with the suit at issue.

We live in q country of which the principle scourge isstomaeh trouble
 It is more widespread than any other disease, and, very nearly more dangerous.
 One thing that makes it so danger ous is that it is so little understood.
 If it were better understood, it woulG be more feared, more easily cured, less universal than it is now.
 So, those who wish to be cured i, take Shaker Digestive Cordial. be- cause it goes to the root of the trouble as no other medicine does. The pure, harmless, curative herbs and plants, of which it is composed. are what render it so certain and, at the same time. so gentle cure.
