store and asked the clerk for a remedy
for indigestion. The clerk sifted a
pink powder into the scales.
"Take heaping dimeful of this" he
said. at will bring you around all

The mans establishment was almost
powerful enough to drive away the in
digestion without the aid Of the pow
der.
"a dimefulT' he calculated. "What
kind Of a newfangled system of meas
urement is that you have here?7
1T isn't new" replied the clerk.
"And It is very simple. Just take a
dime and pile as much Of this powder
on 1t as will stick. That will be the
proper dose. You couldn't get it any
more exact If you measured for half an
hour with scales and spbons."
SWELL" said the customer, "this is a
new one on me-" Then he proceeded to
measure out dose of the pink powder.
AS he did so q man standing close be-
side him sighed reminiscenty.
ut makes me feel young to see you
do that" he said. "They used to meas
ure medicine that way when / was q
kid. supposed modern appliances had
driven oil those old methods Of meas
urement out of the market"
mot at ALL" said the clerk. "There
are lots of places where they still take
medicine by the dimeful."

SEPTEMBER 2S.-

Speech of Judge Noble accepting the
nomination for congress for the Third
congressional district appears in this
issue, and is as interesting reading
as 1t was at that time.
A call from ]. G.. Armstrong, editor
of the Lansing Journal, DR.. Match
eway and 81. A. Cleghorn is noted.
AS this was in the time that recon.
struction and restora tion of the Union
was the theme of politics everywhere,
we note and copy the following from
a speech of Gen. Stoneman at politi-
cal meeting In Memphis, Tenn:
"Friends and fellow citizens:-Y You.
have called me before you, not as a.
partisan or politician, but simply a
citizen of the government of the
United States, knowing no North, no
South, no East no West. The war in
which this greatest of all great coun-
tries has been engaged during the past
eventful years is ended, the issues up
on which that war was based are set.
tied. II there is anything to forgive,
let it be forgiven; if there is anything
to forget, let it be forgotten. Let us
recollect that we have but one country
and one flag. The object for which
we are all assembled here tonight is,
as understand it, reconstruction and
reunion. You may force a separated
man and wife to live in the same
house, to lodge in the same room, but
they will never be united as man and
wife until they have first become
reconciled. said the war was ended.
AS we were enemies in war, let US be
again friends, and in this sentiment
know that none will more heartily
join me than the gallant and distin-
guished president Of This assem- lage.
The gallantry that was displayed DUR
ing the past by each one engaged in
the war, let it be the common proper
ty of all. We soldiers who did the
lighting are reconciled and wantpeace
and harmony, and we call on you edit
tors and orators of the land to aid us
with your pens and tongues. Preach
ers of the Gospel, whose solemn obli-s
cation it is to preach peace and good
will, we ask your prayers and invoca-
tions, and from you politicians, we
demand that you cease your wrang-
ling and allow the good work to 60 on
until our object is attained. AS I am
not candidate for your SURFACES,
nor ever expect to be, never having
cast vote for president in my life,
you will not expect me to define my
position; butthis will say: have
been a member of club for nearly
quarter Of atcentury, and which was
organized three-quarters Of century
ago. By the constitut ton of that club
its president is elected every four
years. Its first president was George
Washington; its present president Is
Andrew Johnson, whom the people
call sold Andy"
And thus we see how latter four
years of failure to restore the UniOn,'
through the agency of war it was re-
stored through the means of peace
proposed by the Chicago convention
| In 1864.
