New to me country. I had overtaken an old farmer in the road, says a writer in the Washington Star, and as we jog ged along together we turned a bend and came upon eight or ten men, who had a prisoner in their midst, and were making prepar ations to hang him to the limb of a tree. "Here what's all this? ' ask ed the old man as we came to a halt. "Going to hang the kuss !" was the brief reply. "What fur ?" "Stealin' that hoss overthar'." The "hoss over thar' " was tied to a tree, and the farmer took a good look at him, and and then at the prisoner, and asked of the latter : "Say, didn't you com'.- along to my place this mornin' ?" "Yes," was the reply, "And didn't I sell you that hoss for thirty dollars?" "Yes." "I am sure I did. How does come about, then, that they ar' goin' to hang you fur hoss steal In' r "I dunno." "lie bought that hoss of you, did he ?" asked the leader of the band, who was arranging the noose. "He surely did, and no doubt he's got my bill of sale in his pocket. Yes, I sold him that critter at 8 o'clock this mornin'. My name's Thompson, and I guess some of you know me. "Look a-here !" exclaimed the leader, as he turned on the pris oner, "did you buy that hoss ?" "Yes." "And you've got a bill of sale?" "Yes." "Then why in blazes didn't you say so when we run you down fur a horse thief?" "Wall, replied the man, as he looked around and yawned, as if bored with the proceedings, "I hain't bin in this kentry but three or four days, and I didn't know what the custom was !" They hauled him off his feet twice, just to make him acquaint ed with the ways of the country, and then rode off in search of new game. 19TH CENTURY CAUTIONS. If you are A lover, don't be too fond.

VACATION TIME Is at hand and is welcomed by all, es pecially those whose duties in life have caused them to greatly run down their System to meet the requirements, phys ical and mental, forced upon them. With these and others, it is important, whether at home, at f he seashore or in the country, but some thought be given to diet, and as further assistance to Nature, a good building-up medicine like Hood's Sarsaparilla had best be resorted to. If the digestion is poor, liver deranged and frequent headaches seem to be the rule, Hood's will change all this and enable everyone to return to their home and business in a refresh ed state ofoiiud and bodily health. HOT. HE THREATENED TO THROW ACID IN THE TELLER'S FACE. DEMANDED $5,000. But Got A Dose of Instead. Hot Lead An ineffectual attempt was made to hold up the piying tels ler of the Southern Savings and Trust Bank at Jacksonville, Florida, to secure $5,000. As a result, Walter L. Chamberlain received a bullet wound in his abdomen, the bullet passing en tirely through the body and coming out at his hip. Cham berlain entered the bank short" ly after noon and asked to see the cashier, A. V. Perry. Ar chie Hubbard, paying teller in- formed the stranger that Perry was out. Tiie man presented a note signed "The Cubans," de manding $5,000 at once and say ing he would dash muriatic acid in Hubbard's face if the demand was refused. The stranger be gan to pour the acid from a bots tie into a glass when Hubbard seized a revolver and shot him. Chamberlain had an accom plice who stayed at the outer door, but who pulled off his false whiskers and ran when the shot was fired. He was not appre hended. Chamberlain is evi dently deranged. Ner vous debility is a common com plaint, especially among women. The best medical treatment for this disorder is a persistent course of Ayer's Sarsa parilla to cleanse and invigorate the olood. This being accomplished, nature will do the rest. OFF THEIR FEED. A subscriber writes that he is taking good care ot his cows, warm stables, plenty oflresh water, but that they are falling off in flesh, and fast going dry. He feeds them all that they will eat of hay, corn fodder, and, be sides, giving them six quarts of corn meal each, daily. The cows are, in spite of this, eating up their bedding, horse manure, if they can get at it, even eating the wood on the managers. Wants to know what can 'pos sess them ? Well, simply your cows are starving to death, by giving an absolute unbalanced ration. The ration you are feeding is almost absolutely heat and fat formers, and your cows are burning up, actually. They would do better in an open yard, as the warmth of the stable actually adds to their torture. That they are crazy to eat horse mature, bed ding and even wood, shows that they are "crazy" for nitrogen and in these things are finding a trace. You want to take all the corumeal away from them at once.. They get all the heat formers they need out of all the hay and corn fodder they can eat two things that in digesti ble solids are about all starch. Gradually add to the rations, so that in ten days you are feeding each cow at least six pounds of good bran and a pound of oil meal daily ; some charcoal and a little bonemeal will be better ficial. These cows are getting only about an eighth as much nitrogen in the form of bran, oil meal, etc., as they should have daily. A cow in milk fed all the hay and corn fodder she can eat, should not have less than six pounds of bran and one oi oil meal daily. The ration as now fed supplies very little for blood, muscle and bone-building, and these cotts cou'd not live a year on this single starch diet. The six quarts daily of corn meal is only hay and corn fodder cons densed, and as such a yet more perfect heat maker. A pig fed on pure corumeal and fodder soon dies from lack of blood making material. A dog will live less than one hundred davs on all bread, made from the single element of best Minne apolis white flour. A fearful loss of dollars and cents follows the uniformed feeding of un balanced rations rations with too great an excess oi starch, with little nitrogen, or too much nitrogen and tco little starch.

"No, I won't drink with you today, boys," said a drummer, to several companions as they set tled down in a smoking car and passed the bottle. "The fact is, boys, I have quit drinking. I've sworn off." "What's the matter with you, old boy?" sang out one. "If you've quitdrinking.something's up. What is it?" "Wei., boys, I'll tell you. Yes terday I was in Chicago. Down on South Clark street a customer of mine keeps a pawnshop in connection with his other busi ness. I called cn him, and while I was there, a young man of not more than twenty-five, wearing thread-bare clothes and looking as hard as if he hadn't seen a sober day for a month, came in with a little package in his hand He unwrapped it and handed the article to the pawn broker, saying: 'Give me ten cents.' And, boys, what do you suppose it was ? A pair of baby shoes; little things with the bot toms only a trifle soiled, as if they had been worn only once or twice. 'Where did you get these ?' asked the pawnbroker. 'Got 'em at home,' replied the man, who had an intelligent face and the manner of a gentleman, despite his sad condition 'My wife bought them for our baby. Give me ten cents for 'em I want a drink.' 'You had better take the shoes back to your wife; the baby will need them,' said the pawnbroker. 'No s-she won't because she's dead. She's lying at home now died last night.' As he said this the poor fellow broke down, bowed his head on the counter and cried like a child" "Boys," said the drum mer, "you may laugh if you please : but I I have a baby at home, and I swear I'll never drink another drop. Selected. They say we can't make men moral by law. Who said we could ! We can by law close the saloon that by law tends to make men immoral can't we ? Our object in suppressing the liquor traffic is to put our lawful veto j on a business that more than all others combined fosters and de-. velopes by law immorality and crime in every possible phase. It is the very nursery of i tumor al tastes, habits and practices. The hot bed for forcing plants of evil tendency. "Canst thou minister to a mind dis eased?" asks Maebeth. Certainly, my lord; the condition of the mind depends largely, if not solely, on the condition of the stomach, liver, and bowels, for all of which complaints Ayer's Pills are 'the soverei,;iKSt tiling on earth.'' FACTS ABOUT PRESIDENTS. WASHINGTON WAS TIIK ONI.Y ONE WHO HAD FALSE TICKTH. It is a strange and interesting fact that only eight Presidents wore beards. Cleveland is the only one who had a mustache alone. Jefferson had the finest hair of all, but Pierce was per haps the proudest of his locks. Jackson was the most leonine like, and Polk the mildest in ex pression of the lot. J. O Adams was the most bald, and Washing ton was tiie only one who had false teeth, according to reports. Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln are perhaps most mentioned of past Presidents, and Cleveland is the largest man, per pounds, that ever occupied the chair. Johnson was the most assailed and the first Harrison had the least to do with the office, as deatli removed him prematurely. Lincoln had the saddest fate, Van Buren the pleasautest. The proclamation of emancipation by Lincoln and the doctrine of Monroe are perhaps the greatest papeis bearing upon their times that ever came from the holders of office. Jackson and Lincoln were the most fearless, and Grant the most stoiclike. Ex. HOW'S THIS? We offer Oue Ilnudrecl Dollars Re ward for any ease of Catarrh that can not be cured bv Hall's Catarrh Cure.
