no good reason why it should not give

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized 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
Prostitution or Heart Failure They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nerves and organic
action of the system, and that is all
the took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You

A dog belonging to Attorney Nc

fiend yesterday and the poor brute bled
copiously from the wound.
A number of fine dogs have been in

of small boys. who have provided
themselves with firearms and look up
on cruelties of this nature as rare
sport.

A TussIe with English.

The pitfalls of the English tongue to
a foreigner are many. A Frenchwom-
an who has undertaken housekeeping
In New York thought she had good
working knowledge of the language,
but soon discovered her mistake.
One day she called carpenter and
planned with him to have some work
done about the house in the way of
putting up shelves, etc, and she went
over the ground with him as carefully
as possible to get from him an estimate
of what it would cost.
After the work was done the bill sub
mitted was considerably in excess Of
the sum first named. The Frenchwom-
an endeavored to demonstrate, but only
succeeded in making the following re-
markable statement to him:
You are more dear to me than when
we were first engaged" - New York

What a Daub of Ink Did.

A certain newspaper proprietor had
way of appearing in the composing
and press rooms at the most unexpected
times, and as his visits often resulted
in a general ''shakeup' of the working
forces of the paper they were awaited
with fear and trembling by the en-
ployeeS.
One time one of the pressmen, an eX-
cellent workman, who had been there
many years but was sometimes guilty
of n lapse of sObriety, had black eye
and was in a quandary as to what eX-
cuse he should offer if the proprietor
noticed it. BY a sudden inspiration he
seized an ink roller and daubed some
ink on his face, quite covering the dis
coloration. Presently the governor
came in and, with the foreman, went
through the room. commenting on ev-
cry detail and looking very sharply at
every workman. When about to leave,
he suddenly pointed to the inky press
man and said "What is that mans
nameT
The man quaked in his shoes until he
continued slowly: Il want you to give
that man shillings a week more
wages. He is the only man in the
room who looks as if he had been
working"

The Right Arm and Left Foot.

The right arm is always n little lar
ger than the left, but the left foot is
almost always larger than the right,
presumably because while nearly every
man uses his right arm to lift Il weight
or strike n blow he almost invariably
kicks with his left foot, while the
lounger stands on his left leg and let's
his right fall easily, because he has
learned by experience that this is the
best attitude he can assume to prevent
lassitude and fatigue.
This constant bearing of the weight
on the left foot makes it wider than
the right, and it often happens that a
man who tries on shoe on the right
foot and gets close fit has to discard
the shoes altogether because he cannot
endure the pain caused by the tight
ness of the left. If when riding on
the street car you will take the trouble
to notice, you will see that in laced
shoes the gap is much smaller on the
right foot than ON the left, while with
button shoes the buttons have to be
set back ten times on the left shoe to
once on the right.

Something to Brace Up On.

1t was along about noon when Il
well dressed man lined up against the
bar. He had the air and looked the
part of q high liver, but there was ev-
cry sign of bad night. He stretched
himself, rubbed his head and said to
the bartender:
II want something to brace up on"
"All right, sir. "Whatll it be-"
Get the large lemonade glass and
break five eggs in it,"
Chapman the bartender, looked at
him suspciously and hesitated.
That's what | want" he ordered.
Chapman broke five raw eggs in the
glass and waited for further orders.
"Now pint of champagne"
Chapman opened the bottle, and the
customer poured it on top of the eggs
and, taking a spoon, stirred the mix
ture thoroughly and then drank il.
Then he paid his bill and walked out

Footpaths are what roads are not,
natural productions, just as the paths
made by hares, deer and elephants are.
No one really makes footpath-that
is, no one improves 1t. What is true of
central Africa is true of England.
THE native paths" wrote Professor
Drummond. are the same in character
all over Africa. Like the roads of the
old Romans, they run straight on
through everything-ridge and noun
tain and valley-never shying at OBJ
stacles nor anywhere turning aside to
breathe. Yet within this general
straightforwardness there is singu-
lar eccentricity and indirectness in de-
tail. Although the African footpath
Is, on the whole, a bee line, no fifty
yards of it are ever straight. And the
reason is not far to seek.
"If n stone is encountered, no ma
tive will ever think Of removing it.
Why should he? 1t is easier to walk
around it, The next man who comes
by will do the same. He knows that
hundred men are following him. He
looks at the stone a moment, and 1t
might be unearthed and tossed aside;
but, no. he holds on his way. 1t would
no more occur to him that that stone
is a displaceable object than that fel-
spar belongs to the orthoclase variety.
Generations and generations of men
have passed that stone, and it still
waits for Il man with an altruistic
idea.

Their influence is mild, which fact

A dish of well cooked rice and
prunes, made dainty and attractive for
