§ / 9 VOL. XV. IT AIN'T A FELLER’S FAULT. If a feller Dels like drowsin’ in tins weUher, let him drowse! Go dreamin’ with ihe iLi.-fiea, or loafin’ with the cows,! If rise weather makes liim tired, it is time to call a halt, Fer the good Lord made the weather, an’ it ain’t a feller’s fault! If a feller feels like fishiiP ii this weather—let him lisli— Stretched nut there by the river where the winds an’ waters swish ! If the weather’s kind o’ fishy, it is time to call a halt, Fcr the stood Lord made the weather, •in’ it ain’t a fellex-’s fault! Thar’s sicli a joy in freedom—when a feller wants to be As natural as a daisy or a bird a Ilyin’ free, That I’m always full in favor, of bis callin’ of a halt, Far the good Lord—he made de freedom, an it ain’t a feller’s fault. __Frank L, Stanton, in Constitution.

Their Digestive Cordial consists of a food already digested and a digester of fools happily com¬ bined . The importance of this invention will be appreciated when we realize what a propor¬ tion of the community are vic¬ tims of stomach trouble. Thous¬ ands of pale, thin people have little inclination to eat, and what they do eat causes them pain and distress. This Digestive Cor¬ dial of the Shakers corrects any stomach derangement at once. It makes thin people plump. Every one will he greatly inter¬ ested to read the little book which has been placed in the hands of druggists for free dis trihution. What is Laxol ?

It is the same old friend to which the old folks pinned their faith and were never dis¬ appointed. But another good recom¬ mendation for it is, that it is better than Pills, never gripes, never weak¬ ens, but works in such an easy and natural way, just like nature itself, that, relief conies quick and sure, and one feels new all over. It never fails. Everybody needs take a liver remedy, and everyone should take only Sim¬ mons Liver Regulator. Be sure you get it. The Reel Z is on the wrapper. J. H. Zeiliu & Co., Philadelphia.
