He said that he had and Utter he had brought it out of the stable the stranger had unhitched the one he had and placed Mr. Bovine’s in the buggy, inquiring if he was willing to take five dollars to boot. Mr. Bovine promptly responded that he was not and would not even accept ten dollars difference.’ All this time during the conversation the stranger kept an eagle eye on the owner and his companion snd after he had gotten comfortable fixed and everything made ready, he hit the horse a cut with his whip and drove rapidly away without even so much much as saying “thank you” or “good bye.” Who the fellow was or where he came from or went to, they knyw not, but Mr. Bovine says one thing he does know and that is that the stranger is several dollars ahead.

Mr. Van Pelt, editor of the Craig, Mo Meteqr, went to a drug store at Hillsdale lowa, and asked the physician in attendance to give him a dose of something for cholera morbus and looseness of the bowels. He says: “I felt so much better the next morning that I concluded to call on the physician and get him to fix me up a supply of the medicine. I was surprised when he handed me a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoera Remedy. He sa'd he prescribed it regularly in his practice and found it the best he could get or prepare. I can testify to its efficiency in my case at ail events.” For sale by W. H. Nachtrieb. j Excursion Fares Bethany Park The Toledo, set Louh and Kansas City R.
