“ The Sioux are not contagious,” said an old 
frontiersman. “ What do you meau ?" asked a 
bystander. “ I meau that they are hard to 
cfcteh,” was they reply. 
“ Oder alms!” cried a servant girl, tvho was 
being courted, by a member of the militia, as 
she passed out to a begging tramp a dish of 
fried onions,— Wheeling Leader. 
The farmer should sow his P’s, keep his U’s

Adolphe to Armida, on their way to Church: 
“ How I would I were the prayer-book you 
clasp so lovingly,” Keply—“ How 1 would 
you were, for then I could shut you up.” 
It is said that nine Cheyenne squaws recent¬ 
ly captured have arms.— Ev/ihange. And legs, 
too, no doubt—though they couldu’t have made 
good use of them .—Norr Herald. 
“ When I sleep ’neath the daisies” is the 
title of a new piece of music. It has not be¬ 
come popular yet, as the weather is too cool 
for so light a covering.— St. Louie Spirit. 
Bishop Simpson confesses that he nsed to 
be so timid that he would walk around the 
square to avoid meeting a young lady. That’s 
nothing unusual when it isn’t the right young 
lady. 
“And Moses was an austere man,” read the 
minister from the Bible; “ Dar now, you dun 
hear dat, Sam ? De Scriptures say Moses was 
an oystermau, and you duu flung at me dat 
Bellin’ oysters wasn’t a ’epectable bizziness. If 
it is good enough for Moses, it’s ’spectable 
enough for me.” 
It was a very honest old Dutch judge in 
Schoharie county who listened for several 
hours to the arguments of counsel and then 
said: Dis case has been ferry ably argued on 
both sides, aud dere have peen some ferry nice 
points of law brought up. I shall dake dree 
days to gonsider these points. But I shall event¬ 
ually decide for de blaintiff.” 
The Keokuk Constitution has about “ sized” 
the weather in the following: “The gentle 
snowdrops came coyly down this moruing, 
and felt the damask cheek of the perambula¬ 
ting reporter as softly aud tenderly as the 
touch of the taper, velvety finger of a fairy— 
eli—er—ah—er-—hitch up the mule aud pull us

This reverend gentleman was visiting at 
the house of one of his lady parishioners, 
when the little girl said, “ Mr.-, can you 
see two ways at once, and is you got honey or 
sugar in one side of your face ?” “ Why. what 
do you mean ?” asked he. “ Why, ma says 
you’ve always got the eye iu the sweet side of 
your face on her in church.” Later iu the day 
the abomiuation of desolation seemed to have 
settled in that child’s heart.— Yonkers Gazette. 
Not Sy mptoms, blit tlie Disease. 
It would seem to be a until appreciable by all, 
and especially by prolessors ot the healing art, 
that to remove the disease, not to alleviate Its 
symptoms, should be the chief aim of medication. 
Yct in how many instances do we see this truth 
admitted In theory. Ignored In practice. The rea¬ 
son that Hostetler's stomach Bitters Is successful 
In so many cases, with which remedies previously 
tried were inadequate to cope, Is at.t rlbutable to 
the fact that it Is a medicine wliUh reaches and 
removes the causes of the various maladies to 
which It Is adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, 
liver complaint, gout, rheumatism, disorders of the 
bow els, urinary affections and other maladies are 
not palliated merely, but rooted out by It. It goes 
to the fountain head. It is really, not nominally, 
a radical remedy, aud It endows the system with 
an amount of vigor which Is Its best protection 
against disease.
