QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilzed world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard Of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prcstrati0n or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of I'M
digested food regulate the action Of The
liver, stimulate the nervous and oragnic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses Of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by r. J..

has black eye and two or three
balls before him to attend and a
vivid recollection of a man he has
slain in duel, all demanding his
attention at the same time, he is
in deuce of a fix. On Friday
night, the night after we had
seen the wonderful ball down in
the old French quarter, the
Fallstaffians were to give ball.
As I looked at my disfgured and
black eye in the mirror l felt
sure | would not take that in
unless l should be privileged to
mask and I knew I couldn't do
that. But ST, when l mentioned
these things to him, said | WASH t
up with the age and he went out
and brought i'll black-eye
"specialist" as he called him and
when this fellow had finished
with me, it would only have been
Sal who could have told anything
about the black-eye-no, | believe
her nav, my maw-in-law, could
have told it too. We went to the
Falstafians. BY the time arrived
for the Ball, ST had SO braced me
that I didn't think at all of nay
suspicious looking eye. You
know they crown their queen,
pick her from among the young
ladies. Not a soul knows be-
fore hand who she will be. You
can just bet therefore every one
is on the watch-out for that event.
1 didn't dance that night but just
1ool.ld on. The bail was given
at the Grand Opera House. And
there was the most delightful
hutter l have ever seen when the
queen and her maids were called
out. This is a new organization
and was making its debut.
For the first time since we
had been in the city ST and act
ually went to our rooms III the
St. Charles at decent hour. ST
had gotten magnificent box of
cigars somewhere and we sat up
and smoked and talked.
Isl, SAID l, q don t mind tell
ing you old fellow, l have some
thing on my mind,
"What is it? What you are go
ing to tell Sal when you get back?
"No, but l guess l ought to be
thinking about that too. am
thinking of how that cursed
young Peters looked when my
ball hit him in that duel and he
reeled and gave me dying leer
as he fell. "
Nonsense, old fellow! You
shouldn't be thinking of that! 1t
isn't worth while giving him
second thought. "
"That's no matter to jest
about"
"Have a cigar" said ST, ''and
forget it in the smoke"
But walked up and down and
could not forget it in the smoke.
"See here" said 81 II am as
much mixed up in that as you,
for | was your second. Your
thoughts on the subject reflect
on me. Do you intend it?" asked
ST cycling me stcrnly. | simply
said, Isl, don't want to take a
shot at YOU" And continued to
walk up and down. Finally l
turned in, but | couldn't sleep.
ST, for company sake, had climb
ed over into my bed and the more
l thought, the more wide-awake
l became. Presently | got up
again and began to walk up and
down? and when ] had tired
myself considerably | got back
into bed, but couldn't sleep any
more than before. That dying

l was just thinking what q

if Peters had had the pleasure Of
witnessing your 1eer.

was awfully comforting i'll what he
said about the affair but the day
was breaking before l fell into
profound slumber.
Next afternoon Mr.. Brown called
to get us. We did not wake up
until 3 0. o'clock and all thoughts
of the duel had vanished. He
brought us to a banquet Of the
business men of New Orleans.
| suppose there must have been
three dozen gentlemen present.
1t looks to me as if there is only
one thought in New Orleans all
during carnival and that is how
to have the most extravagant
good time. The world seems
utterly strange and transformed.
In spite of the number Of people
and the size of The banquet, this
was strictly a private affair.
There were numbers OF invited
guests from everywhere present.
Wine flowed SO plentifully that
it looked to me as If it was being
substituted for water right
along. 1t was quite late when
the party broke up. They all
adjourned to the French ball,
Now, sir, there are balls but
this was the king pin OF ali the
balls I had ever seen.
'HaWkins, " said a very old, fat
gentleman Of our party, 'your
grandfather IS said to have been

"And she gave me the mate to it
and the fellow with her made a
big, fine bow, extended his hand,
lifted his mask and said, Pardon
little carnival joke and shake,
old fellow" And it was Peters
himself, the fellow I had killed in
the duel.
| Now I was powerful glad to
see him alive, you know, but
had spent so much heartache
over the fact that he was dead
that l was riled at this mon
strous Joke, and l was about to
say something that would have
called for another duel, when the
lady who was indeed the one who
had given me the flower while we
were waiting for the Nereus
parade, said, "The privilege

understand clearly, but thinking
it was one of the customs OF this
