PoLsonina the System.

1t is through the bowels that the
body is cleansed of impurities. Con-
stipation keeps these poisons in the
system, causing headache, dullness
and melancholia at first, then insight
ly eruptions and finally serious illness
unless a remedy is applied. DeWitt's
Little Early RiSers prevent this
trouble by stimulating the liver and
promote easy, healthy action of the
bowels. These little pills do not act
violently but by strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their
own work. Never grippe or distress.

Robert J. Hubbard and Thos. II.
Stryker, all three of which are clus-
tered about lakewood three miles
down the Crescent lake shore, states
that from these groves he expects to
ship this fall and winter about 800
boxes of fruit. OF course all are
young trees. About POO boxes will
be tangerines.
Mr., Campbell says that he has kept
the trees well narrowed through the
summer and that the trees have
been sprayed enough to keep the in
sects down. AS a result the fruit Is
all going to be Of fine appearance.
Mr.. Campbell is not much given to
overestimating, and his statement
can therefore be taken to mean that
fruit shipments from lakewood will
be over, rather than under, the num-
Der of boxes above given.
VIM. S. Newbold whose grove lies
IA little to the north of the lakewood
property states that he will have
fully 200, and that his brother

Albert J. Norton the Chicago at

such favorable comment throughout
the country both from the press and
people, is now engaged in writing Il
history of that interesting country,
Mr.. Norton is a lawyer of large prac-

in Cuban research that it is presumed
he is neglectiug the work of his pro-
fession for that of literature, a field
for which he seems TO be exception
ally well equipped, especially when it
comes to diving into the musty rec
ords and traditions of our little neigh
boring island which just now occu-
pies so much of the attention OF
Americans. Cuba was really the pa
rent of new world civilization, but
i'm its present attitude of dependence
on this government stands in the re-
lation of an adopted child. Anyway
all Americans will await the coming
of Mr.. Norton's history with pecu-
liar interest, he having given us just
enough of taste of Cubaninforma-
ton to whet the appetite for grabbing

seeing it on his plate at the break asst
table, and of noticing the pleased ex-
preston as he read it. They knew that
the letter purported to be from lady
who had seen him, but had never met
him, but was extremely DESTROYS of
knowing him-so much so that she
suggested to make an appointment to
meet her. She signed herself blanche

Brooklyn, and requested him to send
his reply to the Brooklyn post office,
where she would get it by calling for it.
Whether he felt battered or what it
was that actuated the man who So
detested flirting, he answered the let
ter, which, by Encouragement, was
forwarded from the Brooklyn post
Office to the out-of-town postmistress,
and from her hands it went direct to-
the fair plotters. who had all manner
of fun with it. Then ensued an ami
mated correspondence between 1.-The
prude" and Blanche, and it ticlSled the
girls immensely to note his flush of
pleasure when on going to the break
fast table he would find the daintest
notes from his supposed fair inamorata.
Never did he read them at the table;
they were too sacred for that; he gen
thy put them in his pocket, waiting till
he got to the seclusion of his room be-
fore breaking open the envelope.
But the young fellow was becoming
impatient to meet her, 50 Blanche told
him to be at Trinity church the next
Sunday morning and to wear large
red rose as a boutonnier. He was on
hand, and so were the four conspira-
tors. AS luck would have it, young
woman tainted and was carried from
the church, placed in a carriage by her
relatives and was driven away
Blanche's next letter expressed the
deepest regret that the writer had
been overcome by the heat and had TO
be helped from the church. She was still
ill, she added, her doctors had ordered
her to go to Europe, and she was 10

was sorry to go without having had
the pleasure of meeting him, but after
her return she would make it point
to find him.
OF course the young women thought
this would end the whole matter, for
they were becoming tired of the joke.
But what was their amazement when
another letter was received by
Blanche, in which the smitten young
man said he would follow her to
Europe, and begging her to send him
another letter informing him where he
could meet her there. The next week
he announced in the boarding-house
that he was in need OF rest and that in
two weeks he would leave for Europe,
where he expected to remain two or
three months.
The news, instead of invoking sym
pathy, spurred the girls on to further
! efforts. One had relative in Ham

'"the recent law enacted by the
Iowa legislature, by which power
habitual drunkards may be arrested

wonders among the old topers and
