Not All Right.

A reporter called upon a prominent citizen and said: “I would like to interview you with regard to the strike.” The prominent citizen frowned, reflected a moment and replied: “No, sir, no. It is a rule of my life never to be interviewed, but I don’t mind telling you privately what I think.” “All right.” “But mind, now, you must promise not to print a word I say nor an idea I advance.” “I promise.” The prominent citizen freely expressed himself. And the reporter, after again promising that he would make no note of, the conversation, departed. Early the next morning the prominent citizen seized the paper and eagerly looked for the interview. “What are you looking for?” his wife asked. “Nothing,” he replied as he threw down the paper. “You can’t place any confidence in those confounded reporters.” “Has he printed what you said?” “No.” “Then it’s all right.” “No, it’s not all right. Do you reckon I want to talk two hours and then be treated with contempt? He ought to have said I refused to be interviewed, and then to have stated what I said. A reporter is a nuisance.” —Arkansaw Traveler.

Men and Women

Who are constantly nervous are, in nineteen cases out of twenty, dyspeptic. The twentieth case will be found, upon investigation, to be that of a person who is troubled with symptoms of indigestion. Thinness, unnatural anxiety, peevvishness, buzzing in the ears, a disposition to start on the sudden closing of a door, tremulousness of the hands—more particularly of the right—show that the nerves are weak and unsteady. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters strengthens and quiets the nerves. This effect is a speedy consequence of its invigorating and regulating action upon the organs of digestion and assimilation. Ic enriches the blood, conquers a chronic tendency to biliousness, relieves sick and nervous headaches, and regulates the bowels without griping them. A more trustworthy defense against fever and ngue does not exist, and it subdues a tendency to rheumatism, kidney and bladder derangement.*- Taken before retiring, it induces sound repose.
