Senator Mason, the rotund states
man from Illinois, told a story today
says the Washington correspondence
of the Philadelphia North American,
about a friend CT his. Bill Visscher by
name, a newspaper man of Chicago
Visschey, he said. was in Deadw ,od.
s. D., before that state had been cut
in two. and was a victim of exceeding
bad luck. He had no money, and was
walking the streets wondering how he
could get a drink of whisky to chez
him up. He saw q number of miners
and cowboys enter a saloon, and, no
ticing that theJ were particularly die
reputable in appearance and all car
ried uns. he follower them in.
When he got inside he addressed the
assemblage without waiting for the
formality of an Introduction.
Gentlemen he said. Il have just
witnessed a most d~eplorable incident
In a saloon down the street a mar
with a gun forced an unarmed strang-
er from the Fast to take a drink OF
whisky, even though the stranger pro.
tested that he had never tasted liquor
in his life, n was morally opposed
to it's use. Now" said Visscher, glaI"-
ing around him. 81 would like to sec
some one try ID make me AXE a drink
against my Will"
He had hardly uttered the words
when there was a pistol shot. and ?
bullet buried itself in the foo at his
feet.
"FIold on" h= shouted. You have
me at a disadvantage. I left my gun
at the hotel!"
Never mind that" said the mar
who had fired he shot. Here. ba"-
keeper" he cried to the man behind
the bar. Put VI six glasses there,
and fill them all. you" he said, turn
ing fiercely upon Visscher. will drInh
all of them"
Visscher protested, out another bui-
let struck the floor at his feet. and he
thereupon turned his attention to the
bar. The glasses had all been filed.
and Visscher emptied each in Turn.
while the man with the gun stood
ready to enforce his command. When
Visscher had taken the last drink and
a row or empty glasses stood before
him on the bar, he turned a glowIag
and a smiling face upon the bad men
around him.
Now, gentlemen" he said, cheer
fully, "if any one will fill those glasses
up again I'll drink my way back UP
the line again"

Better Than Pills

The question has been asked. In
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
& Liver Tablets superior to pills."
Our answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable as
they can always be depended upon
Then they lean and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in a
natural condition. while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by
