Uncle Reuben's Opinion.

"They may say what they
please, but listen-hear me; I've
taken all kinds of laxatives,
purgatives and cathartics but
when it comes to one that is
easy and pleasant to take, mild
and gentle in its action, and
that makes one want an extra
slice of bacon for breakfast,
just give me Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets, and
you may have all the laxative
syrups, dyspepsia medicines
and pills, little or big, there is
in this country. Them Tablets
surely do make one feel joyful"

If this Isn't Poetry.
What Is 1t?

To our many patrons, who can
spare the time,
We beg to submit a few verses
in rhyme,
But in this crude effort we will
not try to tell,
Of the many kinds of material
we sell.
AS to our prices, we will just
simply say;
You figure your bill wherever
you may,
Then come to us and see what
we can do,
For we know our prices will
satisfy you.

Tested His Bride-to-Ee.

A plain, honest-looking young farmer two weeks ago took board in the family of Mrs. Marianna Green, telling her that he was pretty particular"
 q guess this place will suit you," said the old lady. My grand daughter, Georgianna, keeps house for me-"
 He smacked his lips at the first meal and praised Miss Georgianna. Dinners and SUD- pers came and went, and the young farmer seemed nightly pleased. But one day a dinner came that tickled his palate more than all the rest. The ap. pie pie at the end was a marvel.
 '"That certainly was the best pie 1 ever set my teeth in," he sad to the charmed Georgianna after the meal. "How soon wilt you be ready to pack up and start for North Dakota?"
 Georgianna looked at him in amazement. Then she remem. bered a farmer in Angusville, N. D., she had corresponded with for two years, but had never seen.
 "Are you Frederick Dalr. ymple?" she gasped; ''are you the man that got my photo. graph, and that has been writ. ing all those letters to me?"
 "That's who I be-" came the triumphant answer. Let's make it Christmas eve," he suggested. |

He PardOned Him.

While Gov. Shaw of Iowa is very much given to quoting stat utes and dry logic In his speech es, he occasionally introduces a good story, and is also quick at repartee when interrupted.
 Several times this latter abili- ty has served him in good stead. It was out in Nebraska last year that the governor addressed a meeting that was especiallytro blesome. A number of the long whiskered populists were rather inclined to doubt the statements made by him on the gold and tariff questions,
 To make the situation more embarrassing a half-drunken fel- low in the back part of the room broke out several times and had to be quieted.
 The governor waited patiently his opportunity to get in tell ing blow that would turn the laughter and ridicule against the offenders. Several times ques- tions were asked and were an swered by the speaker without any signs of irritation being shown.
 A man we'll down in front in- sisted on asking question every five minutes on an average. He usually prefaced them by such remarks as "JuSt wait a minute, please" or "Let me interrupt for minute" In an unhappy moment he broke in with "Par- don me, but"
 Before he could finish, the governor, a rather self-satisfed look spreading over his face, re- plled: "Well, I've pardoned lots worse fellows than you in my time and I presume it would be unjust to draw the line here"
 The fellow sat down and dur ing the remaining two hours of the address there were no more interruptions. - Detroit Free Press.

His Iron Life Belt.

Some time ago a ship which carried a few passengers, while crossing the Atlantic was caught in a heavy storm.
 The captain of the ship, seeing the passengers in danger of be- ing washed overheard, ordered them to lash themselves to any. thing that would keep them afoat in case the ship was wrecked.
 After a time, however, the storm passed off and a Suffolk man who was one of the passen- gers was missed. Thinking that the worst had happened, a search around the boat was at once made, and after a while he was found up in the bow of the boat, fast asleep, with the anchor tied to him,

Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet it may be of some help to consider the matter. If the cause is something over which you have no control it is obvious that worrying will not help the matter in the least. On the other hand, if within your con- trol you have only to act.

A Young Han Yet.

A man from Georgia, one of the delegates to the industrial convention was talking yester- day about Hoke Smith. Down in our state," said the Georgian, "the name of Hoke Smith is held in veneration." Apropos of this they tell a story about a couple of fcrackers' who were sitting on fence talking politics. It was when Hoke Smith was serv- ing as secretary of the interior in Cleveland's cabinet. ''Hoke Smiths a great man, suh, said one cracker. "Yaas, he's a great man, but he ain't as great man as Grover Cleveland" said the other. "Yaas, suh, Hoke Smiths a greatah man than Grover Cleveland. Wall, ah reckon he ain't as great a man as Genl Robe't E. Lee 'Yaas, suh, Hoke Smiths a greatah man than Gen'l Robe't B. Lee.' 'Ah reckon he ain't es great man es Jeff'son Davis. 'Yaas, suh, Hoke Smiths a greatah man than Jeff'son Da- vis.' A long pause followed, and each chewed meditatively. 'Hoke Smith ain't es great es God, re- marked the doubting cracker. This argument seemed a clinch- CT, but the other cracker proved equal to it. He spat copiously and then drawled out: 'Mebbe not; mebbe not. Hoke Smiths a young man yitn "-Philadelphia Record.

Mark Twain's Introduction.

Mark Twain has lived in New York long enough to vote, and he says he intends to try to elect Seth Low. When a Tammany man heard the news he says it reminded him of a story which Mark Twain once told on him. self. The humOrist was once dining with a literary club in London, one of whose customs was that the members must in troduce their guests formally and in set phrases to the com pany. This custom pleased him, and when his turn came to ex- press his pleasure at being pres ent he referred to it.
 ''I like it," he drawled, for it reminds me of a time 1 lectured in little town in the Rockies. My chairman was a Well-to-dO COW puncher,' who found the situation evidently irksome. Um told I must introduce this yer man t'ye, boys, he said, but l can only see two things in his favor. One is that he's never been in jail, and the other is that don't know why and then he sat down.

A Sound Host Familiar.

A gentleman took a country friend to the opera one night to hear the "Meistersinger" per formed. He was very anxious to see the effect of Wagner's glo. rious music on the countryman, and watched him keenly during the rendering of the overture, which, grand as it is, is little noisy, more especially when the bang of the drums and the crash of the cymbals occur at intervals.
 But the countryman's face re- mained absolutely unmoved. At last~the LOndoner could bear his friends indifference no longer.

He also Contradicted the testimony of

relations With tho defendant. During
the recit of the details surrounding
the disc cry of the body, Collins
broke do} n and wept.
Charles F. Richards opened the
case for the defense by saying
I'VE will show you that there
were tracks leading across the field
and that a man was seen crossing the
branch that morning, and that a
strange man on bicycle was near the
place on April II. And II the court
