NOBWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 25 (1889. L An Awful Time With an Oyster. Last night a fat man, wearing a low- necked shirt with a turndown collar three sizes too large for him, sat down to a table in a Clark-street restaurant and called for a plate of raw oysters. He got them cold and juicy right off the ice, and harpooning a fat one with his fork, he lifted it toward his month. But the slippery, slimy, chilly bi. valve dropped off the fork before reaching its destination, carromed 0n the fat man’s chin and then slid down inside of his shirt and nestled on his breast. No one saw the incident. The obese gent himself didn’t see it, but he felt that some- thing had happened and that he had arriv- ed at a crisis in his life. A pained, startled expression rested for a moment onhis face; then with a low plaintive wail of heart- breaking agony he half rose from lris'chair and clapped his hand on his stomach. He :truck the oyster, but that coy creature was one of the most alert and agile of its species. It at once changed its base on feeling the pressure, and shied upward and across the ‘ fat man’s wide expanse of pal pitating bosom, leaving a trail of Arctic frigidity in its wake, and took up new quarters in his left arm— With a wild howl of anguish the un- happy proprietor of the oyster leaped two feet in the air. uttered another yell like a wild-west Indian, and commenced to work his arm after the manner of a bagpipe mu- sician. The oyster got excited and started again on its travels, but was apparently un- able to select a permanent location. After making several blind rushes it halted for a. moment under a short rib near the spine to catch its second wind. The unfortunate fat man was now ill a state (f mind bordering on insanity. He kicked over his chair, yelled and swore, grabbed himself in front and behind and on both sides, rolled up his eyes, frothed at the mouth, and spun round like a top. But the slippery bivalve was now thoroughly rattled and scomed here and there like a streak of greased lightning, takidg great pains not to travel over the same ground twice. “He’s got a fit l” screamed a Wild-eyed man, making a rush for the door with a napkin tucked under his chin. “It’s either that or he’s ufire inside of his clothes,” said another pale-faced diner, edging away from the sufferer. “For mercy’s sake take him ofl", somebody; I’m dying l” wailed the stricken man as he threw up both hands and sat down heavily on the floor. When the victim of misplaced refresh- ments struck the floor the oyster shot out of the back of his neck like a bullet, hit the ceiling with a squashy plunk and then fell back and hung limp and lifeless from the chandelier. The fat man’s physician says the patient will recover from his attack of nervous jprostration in a few days.—0hicago Times. ‘ A Sound Legal Opinion. E. Bainbridge, Monday Esq., County Atty, Clay .Co., 'l‘exas= says :—“l-l ave used Electric Bitters “ th most happy results. My brother also was very low with malarial fever and jaundice, but was cured by timely use of this medicine, Am satisfied Electric Bitters saved his life." Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, Ky., adds a like testimony, saying :—-—He positively believes he would have died. had it not been for Electric Bitters. This great remedy will ward off. as well as cure. all malarial diseases, and for all kidney. liver and stomach disorders stands unequaled. Price 50c. and $1 at H. R.

You may have heard your friends and neighbors talking about it. You may yourself be one of the many who know from personal experience just how good u thing it is. If you have ever tried it, you are one of its staunch friends, because the wonderful thing about it is. that when once given a trial, Dr. King's New Dis- (rt-very ever after holds a place in the louse If should be ctcd with u can b, cold or any throat, lung or chest trougle, secure o botlle at once and give It a fair trial.

About thirty-five years ago a little boy was given a quarter of a dollar for spending money. As he walked down the street, very happy, he met With an older boy and showec‘ it to him, saying as he did so: “See what my good papa gave me to spend.” The older boy knocked it out of the little fellow’s hand, snatched it up and ran away with it. The little boy was almost heartbroken, but when he went home crying and told about it, his mother gave him another quarter. This mol- lified him, but he never forgave that older boy. The war came on, and the older boy was given a commission in the army, while the little one, who wastoo young to enlist, re mained at home. After the war the younger boy became a clerk in the war department. Within the past fifteen years the older boy, who had be come a lawyer and an orator, announced himself as a candidate for the United States senate, and he had_ a large following. It looked as though he might be elected. But one morning the newspapers in many por- tions of the country, and especially those of his own state, published a statement to the effect that the candidate had been dismissed from the army for cowardice and other ques- tionable conduct. The lawyer denied the charge, and extracts from the records of the war department were published, showing that the charge was true. He was not elect ed. After his defeat was accomplished he re- ceived a letter postmarked Yinshington, D. C., of which the following __is an exact copy: "Do you remember the day you outraged a little boy’s feelings and almost broke his heart by stealing a quarter from him? That Jami cost you a. seat in the scnutc.”——‘Wash~ ington cap. a... ‘ Homes "Built 135' the City. In looking about among the poorest; por- tions of the city 1 saw that a wise and active sanitary authority had caused many old rookeries to be pulled down, and that their sites had been effectively cleared. Naturally this destruction means the destruction of so many abiding places for a certain number of human beings, and these latter, being turned out of one quarter, must necessarily seek lodgment elsewhere. But here again the progressive spirit of Liverpool municipal administration has us- ocrted itself. I found that; the city govern- ment had erected a number of large model dwelling houses for working people. These buildings um constructed in a most substan- tial style, and they are let off in suits of two, three and four rooms at very low rents. They are comfortable and clean. and ample soni- tary provision is made for the protection of the health of the tenants. Most persons are somewhat familiar with the scheme of the Peabody buildings in London. ThoPeubody chemo has been so successful that companies » have been formed for the purpoooot con- structing workmen’s dwellings in various parts of tho metropolis, and providing house accommodation at very low rents. But this work has not been undertaken through mo- tives of pure philanthropy. Itis, after all, a. matter of speculation, as these companies are understood to pay dividends of not lea than 5 per cent. per unnum, and I have heard of one. that pays 8 per cons—Corr.
