The Calf Had a Mind of Its own

An S-months-old Polled Angus calf
celebrated the approach of Christmas
the other morning by escaping from
its crate at the Burlington freight de-
pot and declaring war on the truck
men. Having cleared the deck. it
walked off the platform and browsed
around the railroad yard till Chief
Clerk Lamont went out and meSmer-
lied it, with a rope. Even then the
trouble was not over, and had it not
been for the technical knowledge of
one of the members who understood
the art of twisting it's caudal append
age the entire force would scarcely
have been able to put it back where it
belonged.

what's In a Nance

Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. f. c. De-
Witt & Co., of Chicago, discovered,
some years ago. how to make a salve
from witch hazel that is a specific for
piles. For blind, bleeding, itching and
protruding piles, eczema, cuts, burns,
bruises and all skin diseases DeWitt's
Salve has no equal. This has given
rise to numerous worthless counter
feits. Ask for DeWitt's-the genuine.
