A GOOD RECOMMENDATION,

"I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets is almost invariably to those who have once used them," says J. H. Weber, a prominent druggist of Cas- cade, Iowa. What better recOmmenda- of such remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious have no appetite or when troubled with constipation, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief they afford.

A MOUSE RAN UP HIS BACK.

MOUSE RAN UP HIS BACK.
 Joseph Bader, the enterprising young marketman, had an exciting and peculiar experience the other day. The day previous with one of his brothers he had unloaded some of his cornstalks, where there was quite a colony of mice. A blanket was left on the stack and the next day Joseph went after it. Placing the blanket in the market wagon he started for the Green to deliver orders. When pass ing over the bridge he was surprised to see a good sized mouse jump out of the blanket and run up the leg of his trousers. When Joseph next located the mouse it was playing a game of ping pong on his back, while Joseph wriggled about in terror. Grabbing the mouse he endeavored to squeeze it, but it managed to elude his grasp. The young man kept on the road and delivered his orders, but on landing at home he threw off his overcoat and rushed wildly to his room, where he disrobed. No trace of the mouse was found, but on coming down stairs the mouse dropped out of his pantaloons quite dead. He says he never passed through such a peculiar sensation be- fore.
