CONDENSED STORIES.
The Judge’s Story of the Dog That
Howled at the Moon.
One of the best known of our cir
cuit court-judges had an enemy, a
lawyer who had once been his un
successful opponent in politics in
one of the towns on his round, and
was generally subjected to some af
front when he reached there. The
lawyer took so little pains to conceal
his contempt that one of the judge’s
friends was moved to ask:
"Why don’t you squelch B. ? He
needs it.”
The judge laid knife and fork
across his plate, folded his hands
and, seemingly apropos of nothing
at all, said:
"Up in my home town there’s a
widow with an ugly yaller dog that,
whenever there is moonlight, sits
on her stoop and howls until the
town can't sleep and generally keeps
it up till daylight.”
He_then resumed his dinner. The
friend looked at him in amazement
for a moment and then inquired:
"Well, what of it?”
"Well,’’ said the judge slowly,
"the moon keeps right on.’—Phila

In the Special Gallery.
A pompous man walked into the
house press gallery the day before
congress adjourned. "Whom do you
want to see ?” asked Doorkeeper
Mann.
"Nobody particular,” said the
pompous man. "I think I will take
a seat here.”
"Not here,” replied Mann gently.
"This gallery is reserved for the
press.”

It Needs A Tonic.
There are times when your liver needs
a tonic. Don’t, give purgatives that
gripe and weaken. DeWitt’s Little
Early Risers expel all poison from the
system and act as tonic to the liver.

Pa., says; “I have carried DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers with me for several
years and would not be without them.”
Small and easy to take. Purely veget
able. They never gripe or distress.
