Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air. It fell to the earth; I know not where. —Longfellow. Cider is really good only when drunk out of a jug. As long as a man is modest his mistakes are not held against him. If a man marries a rich girl, folks never get over talking about it. We believe half of our people are at some lodge meeting every night. It is great sport to wa’ch a, joke Altering through an audience. Lots of people talk about being so independent who are shocking todiers Everybody is envious of the person in a small town who gets to go abroad. It must be admitted that it looks funny to see a stock buyer riding a bicycle. Enough raw material is wasted in this world in various ways to make us all rich. When one has a hole in his shoe there is sure to be one in his sock at the same place. Funny things cannot help happening, even at the most solemn memorial service. When there is nobody else to blame meanness upon, it is the thing to Bay it is the “politicians.” We see drivers with hand holds in their lines who horses could not be made to run off. We can’t help having a little more respect for the man who, if he must get drunk, waits till after dark. . Nothing looks more deserted than a country depot in a country town just after the train has pulled out. Old widowers lean lots more when out buggy riding with their second love than they did the Arst time. Some men speculate trying to make up for what they have lost. Did it ever occur to you how many keys for doors and drawers and things there are made that are never used. The men who talk the most about their own righteousness are likely to be the ones who need watching the most.

Despondency Is often only a sympton of dyspepsia. In .dyspepsia there is a loss of nutrition which is felt by brain as well as body; the mind grows morbid as the body loses vigor. Doctor Pierce’s j9M Golden Medical MV Discovery cures nr jX dyspepsia and oth--1 er diseases of the stomach and associated organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the proper nutrition of the body and restores mental cheerfulness as well as physical strength. "For about two year* I suffered from a very obstinate case of dyspepsia,» writes R. E. Becord, Esq., of 13 Eastern Are. , Toronto, Ontario. «I tried a great number of remedies without success. I finally lost faith in them all. I was so far gone that I could not bear any solid food on my stomach for a lone time; fell melancholy and depreutd. Could not sleep nor follow my occupation. Some four months ago a friend recommended your ‘Golden Medical Discovery.’ After a week's treatment I had derived so much benefit that I continued the medicine. I have taken three bottleaand am convinced .7■ it has in my case acSmSfNMM a permanent cure. I can consolenHnnSly recommend it to the thousands of dyeAcecpt no mbttitiltoio r « Gol-len Medical^PmcowHy.»^ There is nothing "just Dr. KacrtXinnf Pdlcts stimulate

Asthma “One of my daughters had a terrible case of asthma. We tried almost everything, but without relief. We then tried Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral and three and one-half bottles cured her.” Emma Jane Entsminger, Langsville, O. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral certainly cures many cases of asthma. And it cures bronchitis, hoarseness, weak, lungs, whooping-cough, croup, winter coughs, night coughs, and hard colds. Three sizes: 25c., enough for an ordinary co!il; 50c., just right for bronchitis, hoarseness. hard colds, etc.; ai. most economical for chronic cases and to keep on hand. J. C. AYER CO., Lowell, Mass.

Nearly everybody wears some sort of a badge. The woman folks say that boys always have curly hair while the girls in the same family have hair as straight as Indians. A mechanic who comes from a strange town does not have to do half as good work as the home men to satisfy the people. Drunkenness seems to make all men feel young again, for we notice when a man is full, no matter how old he is, he associates with the boys. It is not often that an old man admits that he is a back number, unless it .is when he wants to rub it into another man who is still a little older.

WITH THE HUMORIST.

“How are you getting along with that scheme of yours for a procession of the unemployed to march to the city hall and demand work?” “It’s going, to be a Azzle. The blamed chumps all send me word they’re too busy and can’t get away.”— Chicago Tribune. “She has a lath-like Agure.” “Yes, and a plaster complexion."— Chicago Record. Larry—Ye say after th’ foight at Finnigan’s ye saw miny new faces? Denny—Yis; th’ faces thot were tan an’ red.before th’_ scrap were black an' blue.—Chicago Daily News. “Some people,” said the boy with the dirty face, “never thank ye, no matter what ye do fur ’em. A feller put a bent pin on the teacher’s chair th’ other day, an’ when the teacher was about to set down I pulled the chair out from under him to save him frum the pin. An’, by George, he licked me for it!” —Chicago Tribune.

Of Benefit to You.

D. S. Mitchell, Fulford, Md. : “During a long illness I was troubled with bed sores, was advised to try De'.Vitt’s Witch Hazel Salve and did so with wonderful results. I was perfectly cured. It is the best salve on the market.” Sure cure for piles, sores, burns. Beware of counterfeits. A. F. Long.

Even Dewey Couldn’t.

Possibly the following Is an old story In a new form, but It Illustrates the fact that the fame of a warrior, at least while It Is still new, surpassae the fame of the civic chieftain. It is said that on his latest southern tour President McKinley visited a military camp, and while strolling about after nightfall got outside tha lines and tried to pass the sentry In coming back. The sentinel stopped him and demanded the countersign. “I- don’t know the countersign,’’ said the president. “Then you don’t pass, sir,” said tha soldier. “But I am the president of the United States,’’ said Mr. McKinley. “I can’t help that, sir,” answered the soldier. “If you haven’t got the countersign you couldn’t get by here —not even if you was George Dewey himself!”

How the Premier Plays.

It is stated that Lord Salisbury has discovered and completed an important chemical process In his private laboratory at Hatfield, and that the results will be made known to the world on his behalf at a forthcoming meeting of one of the learned societies. The scientific world has for long known that it had in the English premier a devoted student to chemical science. Despite the arduous duties attached to his official post, he, nevertheless, snatches every available opportunity of prosecuting his favorite study. No doubt scientific researches provide for Lord Salisbury that solace and recreation without which it would be impossible for him to conduct the affairs of this nation with the strength and ability which lie has shown.

When Greek Meets Greek.

I was stopping at a country inn In Essex, Eng., and was one morning watching the hostler at his duties. Noticing that he was expert at his work, I inquired what countryman he was, and how long he had been x there. “I’se Yorkshire.” said the man, “and ha’ lived here sixteen years.” “I wonder, then, that in so long « time so smart a fellow as you appear to be have not become master of the inn yourself." “Ay,” said the hostler, with a knowing grin, “but, yer see. maister’a YfNtfblre. tool 1 *

FRESH STYLES FOR FALL.

Many New Thing:* Which Every Woman Wants to Know. Hints on the fashions of the coming winter which will assist In the early preparation of “something At to wear” are given as follows by a writer In the New York Herald, to whom nil opportune privilege has revealed some of the splendors aud luxuries of coming modes as brought over by a returned foreign buyer for a swell shop: This year’s styles fuIAU a tw'ofold mission. They make the stout woman look thinner, aud the slender woman becomes a dream of loveliness aud Shapeliness when she dons a princess effect gown, a Russian pelisse and a direetoire hat. Every skirt Is tight Attlng about the hips and very much Anred arouud the bottom, sleeves are small, collars are high, some basques are shown, and fringe Is the acme of novelty. The favorite model In skirts will be a seamless circular shape, littiug like a glove over the hips and back and daring at the bottom to the width of from 4Mi to 5 yards. This Aare Is very perceptible as the skirt Is held up, with one haud holding the bottom and one the belt. The front breadth, which used to be cut perfectly straight In order to insure a “good hanging skirt,” Is now perceptibly Oared lu the skirts, which are made on the gored pa’tern, which will also be very much worn. Of course the seamless skirt is suitable only for very slim Agures, as It outlines the shape too plainly to be worn by a stout woman. The perfect At and cut of tills skirt to make It hang properly will Insure Its exclusiveness. It could not be copied In cheap, ready made skirts and have any kind of style to it. The shnped Spanish Aounee is also very much In evidence and will be more popular In cloths than the seamless cut. as it is suited to almost any Agure. The upper part will still At closely, but the ttounce, allowing of so

much more of a flare, makes on the whole a more graceful fullness around the bottom. The skirts are just as long In front and train in the back as much as they have all summer. They may be disease breeders and microbe gatherers; but, for all that, lovely woman goes on her wny serenely, and her gown trails behind her. Most of the long coats have very sloping shoulders, with the sleeves cut In one piece with the body of the garment. All the collars, whether of fur, velvet, satin or silk, are soft and full, falling in crushed jabots from the neck. In fact, this softness and flimsiness are new features of the coming season. Everything— the cloths, the silks, the satins—is just us flimsy as it can be. To rustle is to he out of the fashion. To be that is to he out of the world. There are no stiff taffetas either for linings or petticoats. The woman who rustles la either wearing an old gown or is not up with the styles. All the new gowuß are lined with oriental satins, taffetas, mousseline and all the newest weaves of soft finished silks. Brown tan and pastel shades are mentioned us being the most in favor this coming winter, though there are some reds and a few blues. Fringe is the very iatest in novelties and will he the rage this winter. It will be made to order In colors to match the gown and will be used profusely. One of the simplest yet smartest gowns shown to the writer was a costume of shepherd’s plaid in a blue and white check. The lower skirt was devoid of any trimming, but flared considerably. The overskirt was a long, pointed of fair, fitting like a glove over the hips and finished at the bottom by a 12 inch woolen fringe of the same colorings as the gown.

Fashion’s Echoes.

Alpaca Is to make morning gowns in all colors from light to dark. This hardy annual is never long out of„favor, for It Is an evergreen for wear, resisting dirt and emerging scathless | from every ordeal. i Many of the new dresses have tabHers distinct from the front of the skirt or simulated by trimming. They are pointed or oval and reach almost I to the item of the dress. I lur collars for the coming season will be built very tall, and muffs, large or small according to your fancy, will be worn on chains and cords. 1 No mbre belts of any kind for men, says Paris fashiou. They are not now chic. When no waistcoat is worn, tue Jacket is buttoned up.

WITH THE HUMORIST.

“He proposed to you unexpectedly, did he?” “Unexpectedly!" exclaimed the sweet young thing. "Well, I should say so. It was so unexpected that I neglected to say 'Thi* is so sudden.’ ” —Chicago Post. “Do'you tr.ink the Populist will figure In the next election?” asked the stranger In the Tennessee mountains. “I dunno about the Populists aroun* here,” said the cracker; “you see, stranger, thar are preshus few of ’em that kin Agger at all.”—Chicago Daily News. “A bill collector is relentless in his pursuit.” ’ “I don’t know. Haven’t you ever had a house painter chase you around?”— Chicago Record. “I believe,” said the man with the star under the lapel of hfs coat, “you afe the owner of a dog?” “Well, yes,” replied the man of the house, "I am. I suppose I’ll have to pay the taxes on him, but I’m going to have the satisfaction of licking that man who lives next door to me!”—Chicago Tribune.

Knocked Out by a Screech Owl.

John Young Mayes tells a story of a remarkable encounter which he had the other night that would tax the credulity of his friends in believing were it not for his good reputation for truth and veracity and the fact that he bears the scars of battle in evidence. Mr. Mayes says that a few nights ago while passing under some trees in his yard his attention was attracted by a couple of screech owls that would Ay at him in a threatening manner. He, however, paid little attention to them, thinking they could do him no harm, when suddenly one of them Aew at him and struck him full in the face. The blow was so sudden and came with so much force that he was knocked down and partially stunned. The owls continued the attack until Mr. Mayes made his escape into the house. He now exhibits a bruised eye and several scratches about his eyes and nore.

Health and Beauty.

A poor complexion is usually the result of a torpid liver or irregular action of the bowels. Unless nature’s refuse is carried off it will surely cause impure blood. Pimples, boils and other eruptions follow. This is nature’s method of throwing off the poisons which the bowels failed to remove. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are world famous for remedying this condition. These stimulate the liver and promote regular and healthy action of the bowels but never cause griping, cramps or distress. Safe pills. A. F. Long.

Longevity of Pope Leo.

Leo XIII bids fair to be the oldest of the popes. The scars of the operation performed by Dr. Mazzoni on the aged pontiff are said to have thoroughly disappeared. Some time ago, when the physicians removed the last bandages, the pope said, jokingly, to his doctor: “Now, Dr. Mazzoni, how many years of life can you’promise me?” “I believe, conffdentially,” replied the physician, “that your holiness will live to be over a hundred.” “No, no,” answered the pope, “you are stretching my years a little too far.” • The doctor may prove a true prophet, as Leo XIII exhibits signs of most extraordinary mental vigor, and his memory still seems absolutely unimpaired.

HOME AMO CHILD Does your horse “feel his oats” ? What a difference between the grain-fed and the grass-fed horse! The first strong and full of ginger, the second flabby, weak and tired out before he begins. The I feeding makes the difference. Children are not alike either. One is rosy, bright eyed, f all of life and laughter, another L pale, weak and dull. The feeding a gain is responsible. Sickly children need special feeding. They don’t “feel their oats”. Scott’s Emulsion adds just the right richness to their diet. It is like grain to the horse. The child gets new appetite and strong digestion. Scott’s Emulsion is more than food. It is a strong medicine. It rouses up dull children, puts new flesh on thin ones and red blood into/ pale ones.* It makes children grow.
