QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still bas the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lized 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
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, aud 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

Bouneers In New York Hotels.

b0uneers IN New YORK NoteiS.
Many people have not understood
why all the great hotels in New York
city employ special detectives who are
constantly in the main corridor. Some
have had an idea that these detectives
are employed as "bouncers." No such
thing. According to one of the most
Intelligent OF these detectives the other
night, the work Of detective In ho-
tel Is arduous. "You have no idea
he said, "how many spies and sneaks
and 'rubbcrnecks' infest the corridors
of the New York hotels. These spies
are employed to watch public men anu
if possible to listen to their utterances
when talking to their friends in the
corridors. These spies and sneaRs are
also employed to report on all sorts OF
matters. 1t Is q remarkable fact that
60 many me. acquainted with public
affairs are so guileless as not TO be
aware of the presence Of these rubber
necks.' The detectives in the hotels
quickly spot these fellows, but so long
as they conduct themselves decently
there is DO ground for ejectlng them.
Nevertheless, it Is my opinion that
well-known men who desire to discuss
the secret things of politics and of
finance and of religion, and who also
desire to have business matters kept
private, should be very careful to as
certain who is sitting beside them in
the corridors of our hotels, or they
should discuss their matters else
where. New York Sun.

St. Peter couldn"t Keep Him Out.

''The brightest reporter ever knew"
said a newspaper man, "was Billy
Gaylor, who died ut Hot Springs In
1895. He was most persistent fel-
low after an item, and that reminds me
of little story about the last incl
dent of his career. He had been as
signed by a certain Chicago daily to
interview an eminent bishop about q
schism in the church. The bishop
didn't want to talk and wouldn't see
him, but Gaylor bribed n servant to
let him into the hall, and he waylaid
the dignitary rs he was coming
through. he was ordered out for his
pains, but next day he penetrated the
house again on some pretext or other.
and was again fired.
"He repeated the exploit three or four
times with similar results, and at last
the bishop, coming home late at night,
found Billy sitting in his study reading
the Bible. Nobody could explain how
he got in, but the prelate wilted and
told him what he wanted to know, on
condition that he, would go away and
stay away.
Shortly afterward poor Gaylor got
galloping consumption and died. and,
happening to meet the bishop at a
church conference, ] told him that the
young man who had once 30 molested
him would never 10. it again.
"'Let us hope that he Is in heaven
said a clergyman standing by.
"The bishops eyes twirkled. he
loved joke.
"'No doubt he is,' he replied, gently.
I don't think they could keep him
out. Denver (Col.) Post.

It has been said before that the
right to rut V. c. after his name is
given every man, officer or private,
who wins the Victoria Cross. There
is no case on record where British
enlisted man, sailor or soldier, has
made use of the privilege. The officers
use it invariably. The English papers
and magazines say that the officers
have always discouraged the use OF

Why the Cook Gave Noted.

'T see you printed something the

said the man with glasses. Nov, I'm
afflicted that way myself. A few
nights ago when I went home it was
raining hard. My umbrella was wet
and / carried it Immediately to the
kitchen to drain. Casting about for
something to stand 1t IN my eye caught
some sort of receptacle on the floor

the cook gave notice. She had found
