A. Nichols and family. There’s trouble among the weather prophets. The groundhog has alreadv lied, Hicks says “March will” and Foster says “March wont.’. For quick and positive relief from a cough or cold Dr. Sawyer’s Wild Cherry and Tar has no equal. Try it and you will recommend it. Nachtrieb A Fuelling. m The only time when a man is thoroughly humbled is when at the age of fifty he compares what he has aetuallv accomplished with what he thought he would do when he graduated at twenty. Dr. Sawyer’s Wild Cherry and Tar cures because it was made’ to cure. It soothes and relieves the irritated condition of throat and lungs. A trial will prove it. Nachtrieb & Fuelling. m Wives in Tanganyika are considered a luxury, and even in Zulu land they cost from $l5O to SBOO, but on on the Tanganyika plateau one can be had for five or six goats. One goat equals 15 to 20 cents; therefore one wife equals $1.20. Eugene J. Hall, the poet and publisher, says that one dose of Foley’s Honey and Tar restored his voice when hoarseness threatened to prevent his lecture at Central Music Hall Chicago.

The best salve in the w-orld is the Banner Salve. It is made from a prescription by a world wide known skin specialist and is positively the most healing salve for piles, burns, scalds, ulcers, running sores and all skin diseases. Holthouse, Callow & Co. m Sunshine and sentiment breathe through the paper called “A Day at Prato,” (Italy), by Harden Monroe, in the March “New Lippincott.” Miss Monroe is known for her “World’s Fair Ode” and other books, and her de scription of Italy is seasonable for the traveler who shuns the snow. Backache is the first indication of kidney trouble. Urinary disorders, diabetes, and even Bright’s disease follow unless promptly checked. Nothing better to make perfect kidneys than Dr Sawyer’sUkatine. Nachtrieb & Fuelling. m

Going down hill. People suffering from kidney diseases feel a gradual but steady loss of vitality. They should lose no time in trying Foley's Kidney Cure. It is guaranteed. Holthouse, Callow & Co. m What is more absurd than leaving Indiana for a change of climate when remaining in the state one can get any kind of a climate he wants in a week’s time? Will some one who keeps a diary say how many kinds of climate we have had this week? There is no medicine that has yet been discovered that has virtues deserving to be compared with Dr. Sawyer’s Wild Cherry and Tar, for bad cases of chronic bronchitis, consumption. or any cough or cold. Nachtrieb & Fuelling. m A man who has kept account of the number of kisses exchanged with his wife during their union consents to its publication as follows: First year, 36,500; second year, 16,000; third year 3,650; fourth year, 120; fifth year, 2.

He has consented to be their colonel-in-chief. This only means that the Prince is willing to buy another uniform. Waldalla, N. D..

Holthouse, Callow & Co. j It is as difficult to understand why a dog runs on three feet instead of four, as it is to comprehend why a woman will wear a skirt cut so long behind that she must hold it up all the time, when she might avoid all the annoyance by making it a little shorter. But if the dogs prefer to trot on three feet, holding up the other, and women prefer to go about grasping their skirts with grim determination, it is probobly their own business, and poor, frail man, who chews tobacco, and spits the juice on the sidewalks, ought not to complain.
