during which time his list of friends
has heightened from his first ac-
uuaintances to all whom he has met.
He il an energetic, hustling business
man, anxious and determined to
please and absolutely square in all
his dealings.
Messrs. Hanke and Laidley pur-
chased the stock of goods, which, ii
will be seen by their announcement,
is very complete. Several lines not
heretofore carried in Lewistown will
be introduced by them, while in
other lines their stock will be more
complete and comprise more styles
than any to which our citizens have
had access. One department will be
devoted entirely to millinery and will
be under charge of Miss Basaker, a
young lady from the east.
Their furnishings are an innova-
ton in Lewistown business houses

very red and his toes inclined to crack.
IF you didn't buy so much stuff l
shouldn't say a word" explained Mrs.
Bowser, as he finally came to a halt.
You are always getting tonics and
sarsaparillas and blood purifiers and
invigorators and cures for this Or that,
and after a lose or twoy o set the bot

terday and I found"
THAT will do, Mrs. Bowser, hat
will do!" he interrupted as he waved
the bottle around his head. You
talk about my buying stuff. In the
last year 1 have bought just one bot
tie of cough medicine. Two doses of
it effected a cure and I put the bottle
away. If you found ten thousand bot
ties in the cupboard you put them
there yourself. We will drop all that
and speak of this bottle. / am all run

ma inside of two months. If I take
this preparation 1 am restored to
health inside of two weeks. Shall
take it or not?'
"Why, yes, of course, if you think il
will do you any good"
ANY good! What's it for except tc
do me good! I'm not taking it &c
blow my head off, am 1? A noted
physician doesn't send an invigoratol
out into the world t % kill off his fell
low-men, does he? The object is to in
vigorate-tone up-cure-make a maj
of a man."
Mrs Bowser had no more to say,
She was sorry she had said as much a.
she had. MIR. Bowser was bound tC
take that invigorator whether or no
and the best way was to hope it would
do him good. though there wasn't &
healthier and more robust man il
town.
"In take a dose now and another al
bedtime" he said as he headed for the
basement, land il you don't see &
change in me even by tomorrow morn
ing then I'll be disappointed"
He went downstairs. pulled the corl
out of the bottle and took his dose
and when he returned upstairs he sa'
down to his newspaper with a ~self-sat
isfed look on his face. Ten minutes
later he patted himself on the lower
button OF his vest, and exclaimed:
"ByGeorge, but that stuff went to the
right spot feel better'n I nave fel
in a whole month. You'll see me
new man in about a week."
That was ten minutes later. Twenty
minutes later Mr.. Bowser gave a sud
den start and laid his hand on hi
stomach.
rs it still going to the right spot?
asked Mrs. Bowser.
Say, / have pain and l feel queer.'
he answered as he stood up. "Couldn'
be anything wrong about that invig
orator, could there?"
O. course not. A noted physician
doesn't send an i~nvigorator GU
into the world to give his fellow-mel
pains and queer feelings, does hep"
"Ooch! BY gum, u the room i:

over. You are sure that was invig

She was back in thirty seconds wit
the bottle in her hand, and as she he'll

Suppose it is a patent medicine." he
demanded as he bristled up and glared
at her over the bottle. For your per-
sonal benefit, however, / will say that
there is nothing patent about it. 1t is
a compound prepared in the laboratory

try. l suppose the formula has been

What use! 1t is just like me to pay

and then chuck it into a rat hole or
feed it to the cats, isn't it? I've felt
the need of it for the last two months
Il didn't know that you were run

wife you are! Some wives are not blind

flesh a week and has a do--n undertake

but you haven't discovered that any

That's your policy, however-opposi-
