THAT NOSE.
Rev. Mr. Murray, during his
summer tour; has, it seems, en
countered a remarkably self
asserting nose of which he has
in the 'Golden Rule.' Speaking
of noses he says: There was a
nose on that train. Indeed, in
my? car there were forty noses
until ten o'clock, after that only
one, remained. They made up
the' berths at half-past inine,and
it only took thirty minutes for
that nose toassert itself. There
was a trumpet, a clarionet, a
fish-horn, a snare-drum, and a
cymbal, inside that one nose.
In fact, it was a full band of it
self, It was in good practice and
opened its concert artistically.
Its preludr was in the; minor
. key, but I have had experience
in such noses, and I knew what
was coming. At last it came.
What a noise! It drowned the
roar of the train. It filled the
. cars and flowed out through the
' ventillator. H
"What's that? said a heavy
bass voice- 1
What's that? startingly 'ejac
ulated a tenor: 1
WHAT'ri THAT? timidly in
terrogated a soprano
The answer came again, and
. as;ain the torrent rushed out of
that nose. Big? Yes, they must
have been big big as a boot
leg. It takes room for such a
noise to get out.
Oh ! said the base voice.
On 1 said the tenor.
OH ! re-echoed the soprano.
.Then silence. j
Nothing more was said for
ten minutes, while the noise
warmed to its work. ... It put
lorth its variations; no j two
snores were alike. One would
.begin with a slight quaver, run
up an ever depening variation,
and then explode. The j next
would be a tremendous explo
sion no warning of its begin
ning, no premonition ot its
closing. Now it was a bass now
a tenor and then a soprano.
But whiter er the key, what
ever the mode, the force was
never lacking; it was strong,
tersibly strong.
'.'I cvM stand this!" said ho
bass voice: .
"I can't stand this!" repeated
tfee tenor:
"I can't stand ihi. t" cried the
soprano.
Laugh! I lay on my back
and langhed. I rolled over on
my side and laughed. I shoved
the window up put my head
ont and laughed; laughed with
a spasmodic action of the' heels.
Still the man snored. Five
minutes passed; the nose was
executing o:e of its"most intri
cate and impressive passage. It
began-wjth a tremolo, rolled on
and roared itself upward, aloi
a rising gamut of sound, uiv
it burst forth with a snort.
Porter! called the bass.
, Porter! sounded the tenor:
OH ! PORTER ! cried the
soprano:
The porter came hurrying in,
followed by the conductor with
his lantern. I was standing in
the passageway trying to hold
myself together in the middle.
u What are you crying fofr
asked the conductor. j
That instant the nose broke
forth; the conductor looked as
tonished; he explained after
wards that he had heard con
siderable snoring in his nine
years service, but nothing
thai.
1 'We must wake hint ur L
he
said. -
"Oh, ves! wake him up! said
the tenoV
" Wake him 'cl cru d the so
prar.o. .- ":'--'.. : rr
The soprano was nearly exhaus
led but I clearly heard the
UV- V..:-r-i'r ":; - i - -
We parted the enrtains. The
man was Iving on hi9 back, the
pillow down under his shoulders,
h'8 head hanging over the north
side of it. . Ilis mouth was wide
en, his noso at an angle of for
y-five degrees the angle ot th
hghest flight tor a projectile His
knees were drawn up and his
oahds lay on t ne pit of his stonu
ach. . L shook him. I 6hook him
wice. The third time I shook
him he opened his eyes. I think
I should have rattled his eyeballs
ont of their sockets at the tonrth
shake. He opened his eyes. : The
lantern streaming into his face,
and three pairs of eyes looking
fiercely at him, had a diseorapos
iog effect.
"Stranger, said I in prieslty
tones, stranger av you prepared to
die?
"Eh? What? How? Thnndei?
what's the matter? he said.
"That 4J0se, said I.
I looked around. The conduc
tor was going through the door.
The ebony face ot the portor was
to be seen looking out from be-,
hind the stove pipe. The man
looked at me and I looked at tne
man.
"Will he go to sleep again?
said the bass.
Will he go to eleep again? ask
ed the tenor.
Will he go to sleep again?
laughed the soprano histerically.
i I looked at the man. The man
looked at me. I said, "Let it
but." He shut one eyeand sai ,
cheap, v I Faw he understood.
i Don't Forget It.
If vou are troubled with ner-
vousness,are disheartened, tired of
life, fear death or teel out of sorts
as the saying is, you mpy safely
corelude that you have the Dys
pepsia or Liver Complaint. The
liver is very apt to become torpid
this season ot the year as poisons
arising .from stagnant water or
decaying vegetation are more nu
mcrous and arc through in halata
tion taken into the b'ood. Un
less the liver is strong and active,
and furnishes and furnishes a sups
ply of tresh and pure blood to,
drive out the impurities, the
abofe mentioned symptoms sures
ly follow, and if not heeded, end
in more terrible diseases and
death. White Prairie Jb'Iower

compounded. Its cures are trulv
