The American Eruy inGubn IS for tunAte in having a volunteer officer with the nerve and stamina of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. He is not bound down by the traditions of tfhe army and is not afraid to say Chat the medi- cal and coalmissary departments have been managed in criminaIly careless manner. He is not afraid of court martial, rather seehs one, and if he is court msrtiaied the whole story of the ineficiency of some departments of the army will come outiand the blame will be properly placed. Col. Roosevelt is serspper, not only in the forefront of battle, but in the realms of peace, and If one of his men has died or suffered unnecessarily because of the ineflciency or carelessness of any nau in official position he will find it out, and gee that the man who caused it is punish ed.

Not long since g Danville, Ill.,, jury ordered the male defendant in breach of promise case to pay the competent sum of $54, ,333.33 to the afflicted fair one. Though it is pretty high esti- mate of blighted affection, there is an- other estimate which, if not in dollars and cents exactly as high, yet in general consideration of excellence reaches as lofty an altitude. This is the estimate of the people as to the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a remedy for constipation. The action of this gentle but effective laxative is never accompanied by the gripping so marked in the operation of most catharties. It is an iucompar- able remedy for and preventive of
 nalarial, rheumatic and kidney com plaints, and promoter of appetite and sleep.
