skin to the aching tissues and throb-
bling nerves.
Neuralgia Anodyne is so invariably
successful in curing neuralgia, rheu-
matism, headaches, and other nerve
sufferings, that it is sold under an alb

trees was a delight, while the quiet
little streams and the sharply contrast
ing and rapidly moving brooks made us
long for plunge in their cool waters.
After the hot and dusty railroad travel
of the day the drive just at sunset
was most delightful, but the thought
of the welcome awaiting us cut short
any hint of regret as we turned a cor
ner and our driver informed us that
our destination was nearly reached.
As we drove into the door-yard the
vine-covered porch of the huge, yellow
house of charming old English style
of architecture, seemed alive with ia
miliar faces whose broad smiles of well
come were answered in kind with grins
of delight at being there before any
words could be exchanged. The few
introductions necessary were soon
over, and the travellers were ushered to
their respective rooms, after having
the comfortable assurance that there
was plenty of time before supper"
Although it was difficult to keep away
from the magnificent view of the
mountains that our windows afforded
long enough to accomplish anything,
chan ye of raiment was finally effected,
and downstairs we went to do ample
justice to the delicious supper awaiting
us. After supper an adjournment was
made to the piazza, where the last sun
set clouds of pink and gold were massed
in gorgeous array behind the mountains
and where conversation was almost
suspended while the brilliant display
lasted.
After a while the colors faded and the
rugged outline of the mountains soft
ened a little, the moon appeared and
the stars began to peep out, and we
recognized few familiar constella-
tions, although they seemed to have
changed places in the sky! After

Penny POSTAGE,

a bill was recently introduced to per
nit packages to be sent through the
mails as first class matter up to four
pounds, and the postage to be two cents
for the first ounce and one cent extra

first step toward penny postage which
must ultimately come. The first step
toward good health is made when dhe
sick man or woman takes the first dose
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. and if
given a fair chance will ultimately
make them well again AT least this
has been the experience of thousands
of others during the past 53 years, and
it is just as effective today. Start at

of tlatulency, cramps, sour risings, dys-
pepsia, indigestion, costiveness, female
ills or liver troubles. We guarantee it

Waived THE ORDER
Sheriff After Having Law Point
ed Out to Him Hastens to
Correct His Mistake.
WANTED 1T IN WRITING
Prisoners Discharged Orally Were N It
to Leave Custody of Deputies
Hears from Court.

1t seems that during the last week
there has been something of misun-
Outstanding AT the court house between
Sheriff Edward Kittilsen and the ci.'
cult court, and that as result the
sheriff was in a nice way given
pointers on the statutes govern
ing the duties of the sheriff and
his relation with the court. 1t
seems that Sheriff Kittilsen had Civ
en- orders to his deputies that no priS-
oner was to be released without 4
written order from a court, with en-
phasis on the word written" So it
happened that when two prisoners,
Robert HOWE and Howard LaGrange,
who pleaded guilty to petty Larceny,
were allowed to give recognizapce and
were discharged, the deputy declined
to release them. When the court s
oral instructions were repeated and
the deputy had been informed by one
or two of the officers as to the legal
status of the case. he TOOK me boys
to the sheriffs office, and they Were
released.
Locked Two Up Again.
A day or so later two other boys
were released on a writ of habeas
corpus. the justice of the peace having
erred in binding them over on 4
charge in which he had jurisdiction
The writ was confessed, and the cOu,i
entered an order of release. The
deputy sheriff. however, acting under
the instructions of the sheriff, took the
| lads back, and before their attOrneJ
was aware of the nature of the pro
ceeding, the boys were again in con
fnement in Jail The sheriff was
promptly informed of the liability h
| assumed in such an instance, an
when shown the statute relating Il
