Saves an Iowa Mans life.

The very grave seemed to yawn
before Robert Madison, Of West Bur-
lington, Iowa, when, after seven
weeks In the hospital, four Of the
best physicians gave him up. Then
was shown the marvellous curative
power Of Electric Bitters. For, after
eight months Of frightful suffering
from liver trouble and yellow jaun..
dice, getting no help from other
remedies or doctors, five bottles of
this matchless medicine completely
cured him. It's positively guaran-
tced for stomach, liver or kidney
troubles and never disappoints. Only

STEALING A HORSE.
A Bold Afghan Robber Who-tiad q
Sense of Humor.

A Bold Afghan Robber Who-rsad q
Sense of Humor.
An East Indian officer, writing of
life In Peshawur in the early seven
ties Of the last century, relates the
following:
The medical officer Of my regiment
was Informed one night that valua-
BILE and favorite Arab steed of his had
been stolen. Over the border, gone
forever, he never expected to see his
horse again, but next day. much to his
surprise, there came to him bearded
rutfian riding bare backed the stolen
Steed.
He confessed that he had taken the
animal, but, learning that it was the
property of a hakim (physician), had
brought 1t back. The horse had been
tethered in line with others, with
the open about them.
How did you manage it?' asked
the doctor.
IF the sahib will give the necessary
order" he said, II will show him."
The entire scene was reproduced,
even to the night Waterman asleep in
q corner. Noiselessly the Afghan
crawled toward the Arab, treading
snakelike through the PROSTATE forms
to where it was standing at the end Of
the row. Softly kissing to attract the
animals attention without causing
alarm, he gently raised himself with
arm extended. .@,-.<,s4~--s ssssss
In his open palm were some Jumps

ing these the man was caressing him
with the other hand, whence suspend

wallet. Quickly this was adjusted,
and then, stroking soothingly, the rob-
Der passed his hand over the animals
back and down the hind quarters.
Swiftly the heel ropes were unhitched,
then the head gear released. and with
a bound he was astride and away. his
right hand backward flung. shouting
trirmphantly as he passed, Thus was

The joke was that he never came
back! A double restitution would have

A MANS WHISPERS.
They Should Not Be Renovated With
the Shoebrush.

They Should Not Be Renovated With
tho Shoebrush.
If men would devote as much loving
care to their whiskers as women do to
their hair they would contribute great
ly to increasing the dignity Of the sex.
A woman wouldn't think of coming
downtown without having her hair
properly arranged. She combs it. and
fuses with it, and pads it out with
rats, and puts wire cages under it, and
runs ribbons through it. and she is a
vision of loneliness when she appears
in the busy haunts Of men.
But man gives his whiskers no at
tentiOn further than to brush the egg
shells or clam chowder out of them
with the shoebrush. 1t never seems to
occur to him that his whiskers might
be made beautiful if he would devote
one-half the time to them that WON
an gives to her hair. He might easily
have made wire cage to attach to
whiskers around it in captivating
styles and tie the ends together with
pink or blue ribbon.
The alfalfa editor gets tired of see
ing the same old fashions in whiskerS
when 1t would be so easy to devise
new and striking ways of wearing
them.
There should be whiskers club in
Emporia. If such an organization
were formed and the members held
weekly meetings to exchange ideas
and compare notes the results would
soon be apparent. The towns whis-
kers would soon become distinctive,
and their reputation would cover the
country.

dining in restaurant one day he sat
