"I have been suffering
for over two years with
Dyspepsia. For the last
year I could not take a drink
of cold water nor eat any
meat without vomiting it up.
My life was a misery. I had
had recommended Simmons
Liver Eegulator, of which
I am now taking the second
bottle, and the fact is that
words cannot express the
relief I feel. My appetite
i3 very good, and I digest
everything thoroughly. I
sleep well now, and I used to
be "very restless. I am flesh

food and Simmons Liver

I write this in hopes of bene

suffered as I did, and would
take oath to these state

AN AEZANSAW JUDGE.
Why Ed Pined a Mayor and Oity
Attorney,
Judge iIcCown,one of the ablest
"carpet-bagggers" who went to Ar
kansaw ana assisted in the experi
mental work of "reconstruction,"
was in many respects a remarkable
man. He bad distinguished himself
at college, had taken first prize for
an essay on "The Origin of Com
mon Law," and, consistent with
such achievements, had acquired
an appetite for tho most potent
drinks to be fouudin the neighbor
hood. Shortly after his arrival in
Arkansaw be was elected, by the
hurried method which then pre
vailed to tho office of circuit Judge.
His decisions were political rather
than legal, but ho was a man of
such unexpected epigram, such
quaint conceits, and such peculiar
humor, that bis rulings, otten cre
ated amusement.
One morning, while court was in
session in Camden, he entered the
room, covered with mud and drip
ping with water. Taking his seat
on tho bench, with violenoe rather
than with dignity, and when every
one had become quiet ho turned
to the clerk, and said:
"Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of five
hundred dollars against the Major
of Camden. This morning the
court ate h"s breakfast as usual
odd water and a soft boiled egg
and started toward this place with
it view of discharging his accus
tomed duties. He had proceeded
but a short distance when a board,
composing a treacherous part of
the disgraceful sidewalk, flew up
and struck the court in the counte
nance, knocked him down, and
still not satisfied, wallowed him in
the mud. The law of humanity
demands that the mayor should
have had good sidewalks put
down, and the ignorance of the
law will not free him from blame.
Enter a fine of five hundred dol
lars, Mister Clerk."
"Your Honor," said the city at
torney, who happened to be pres
ent, "I do not think that the may
or is amenable to the law ol human
ity, as you term it. He had doubt
less taken no cognizance of the
loose board."
"Mr. Clerk," said the judge, "en
ter a fine of seventy-fivo dollars
against the city attorney for tlui.k
ing that the mayor had not t.ifcfi
cognizance, and also an additiu i.i!
fine of one hundred dollars sgauist
the mayor for not taking cogniz
ance." "I protest against this," exclaim
ed the city attorney.
"Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of fifty
dollars against the city attorney
lor protesting. This court wishes
to say that he is tired of being
slapped by boards and bull-ragged
by swamp lawyers. This court has
been in the State of Arkansaw
nearly one year, and as yet has
failed to see a sober day. "Why
is this? asked the freckled faced
sons of ham strung civilization.
This court would modestly reply
that it is on account of hurriedly
made whisky. Tho American
people do not take time enough in
the preparation of their liquor."
"That ain't the trouble, Jcdge,"
exclaimed an old squatter who
bad been arrested forfeiting whisky
without a license.
"What is the trouble, sir?"
"Why, sah, the 'Merican folks
drink the whisky fore it has time
to git cool."
Mr. Clerk, credit this man with
fifty dollars for making a sensible
remark. JXow, sir," turning to
the squatter, "you can go home.
This country has no right to im
prison a man who has correctly
estimated the evils of a great social
principle." drfamsavKjTraveler.
Exactly What Is Sought After.
A safe, reliable, harmless, not re
pnlslveTpmedy that can be taken with
out changing tho regular diet or dior
ganinK the sjstem; a vegetable om
pountt assi-tinR niture to Ret rid of im
purities in a R-adual manner as nature
Intended. Such is bimmous Liver .Reg
ulator, and a trial proes this to the
most skeptical. Complete satisf action
is ouarantee'd, and certainly it is a sat
isfaction to find tbe head clear, the
bowels regurar. the blood purified and
the breath sweet
"Dootor," said the patient, "I
believe there's something wrong
with my stomach."

Spring Poetry as "Set Up" by
an Apprentice Once more the
time for sugar dawns; once more
the poets and the robins sing; once
more the editor's wate-basket
yawns to catch tho poet's ode to
gentle spring. Soon "Jane's sweet
flowers" will claim the poet's care,
then "fields of waving grain" a
change will bring; then "au
tumn's fruit" and "winter's frosty
air" will give reprieve from madri
gals on spring. But from the poet
ess who sings of death the tired
wabtp-basket never gets a rest;
she tunes her iyre at every partiag
breath to waft some spirit up
among the blest.

about so'ne rails which one had
cut and the other claimed werf
split too s-ni ill, tho rails were set
on fire and the' set the fore-t on
fire, mid this outcome was that 144
-iiuare miles or four townships of
timber vort destroy ed.
