A well known writer traveling
through Kansas when prohibition
is in force says toat the whisky in
in that state is the poorest to drink
and the easiest to get of all the
states in the union.
Woman's sphere is gradually
broadening. West Virginia has
recently produced a horse thief
and now the reports come that
two New York girls have gone
into business as . highway robbers.
A movement is on foot in St.
Petersburg for observing Sunday
as it is understood in the United
States and Great Britain. It is
said that 1,200 St. Petersburg
merchants have already declared
themselves willing to keep their
p'aces of business closed on the
first day of the week.
Ben Butler, when asken to ad
vise a young man how to become
rich, said the best thing to do was
to run in debt for a house and lot,
and then pay off the mortgage,
lie said he had tried it." The first
money worth mentioning that he
had saved was when he was a
young lawyer in Lowell. He ran
in debt for a house and lot, and
paid off . the mortgage with the
rent he got for it and a little more
that li3 saved out of his fees. That
was' done, too, before he was mar
. ried. As a rule it is better to
avoid debt at all hazards. But if
running into debt can ever be justi
fied, it is when a young man un
dertakes to pay for a home.
Skins On Fire
Agonizing, itching, burning, and bleeding
Jv-zeina in its worst stages. A raw ore
frum head to feet Hair gone. Doctors
and hospitals fail. Tried everything.
Cured by the Cuticura Kemedies for $G.
Cured by Cuticura
I am cared of a loathsome disease, eczema,
in its worst stage. I tried different doctors
and been through the hospital, but all to
no purpose. The disease covered my whole
bod from the top of my head to the soles
of my feet. My hair all came out, leaving
Hie a complete raw sore. After trying every
thing I heard of yonr Cuticura kemkdies,
and after uing three bottles of Cuticura
Kesolvent, with Cuticura and Cuticura
Soap, I tiud myself cured at the cost of
about $6. I would not be without the
Cuticura Kemkdies in my bouse, as I find
them useful in many cases, and I thick they
are the only sum and blood medicines.
. ISAAC H. GERMAN, VVurtsboro, N. Y.
Burning and Itching
I was sick in the fall of 188$ with a burn
- ing and itching so bad that in three weeks
I was covered with a rash, and could not
sleep nit'hts or work days. Some doctors
thought it might be salt rheum (eczema),
and said they had never seen anythiug like
it before. I received no help from any or
them, or from any medicine that 1 could
get hold of uutil I tried your' Cuticura
Kemedies. After thiee weeks' use 1 was
able to work, and kept gettinu better, uutil
Jam now entirely 'cured. 1 recommend
them to all suffering with skin diseases.

Who Lost The Ten Dollars?
You are a financier. I am not,
but I had a friend who died of a
financial conundrum, and although
it is too late to do him any good,
I would like to know the ans
wer. Ile'was a good fellow, poor fel
low, but he was unlucky. Besides,
he was a good deal of a fool. He
invested all of his own money and
some more in Gloriad mining stock.
He saw a great deal about it in a
newspaper of great former morality
and much , previous virtue. lie
did not stop to note that the stock
was 95 per cent, or more below
parfnor inquire if anybody con
trolling the financial columns of
that paper had been presented
with a block of Gloriad stock. He
didn't do anything but go and
blow in his savings in Gloriad.
The stock took a tumble before he
did, and at the round-up he found
himselt with a large block of
Gloriad, which nobody wanted,
and no money. His wife died,
and his only son, who had , been
brought up to the expectation of
luxury, went to the bad. Believ
ing still that even a mining stock
which could get quoted and noted
every day in the paper that used
to be honest when his grandfather
read it must have some value, and
having nothing much to live for
anyhow, he went out to Texas to
investigate the condition of the
Gloriad enterprise.
His discoveries did not bring
him. either.- consolation or cash.
He found that the nearer, he got V)
the supposed mine of wealth the
smaller was the demand for the
stock entitling him to a share in
its munificent profits. Having
embarked in t he investigation he
went on at it. The - further he
went the worse he .far6d.' "When
he struck El- Paso he had
just one round, white silver dollar
left to his name, and, he went and
bought a drink with it. '
The barkeeper took his Ameri
can dollar and handed him a Mexi
can dollar in change. A Mexican
dollar at that time was worth only
85 cents in United States monev.
There were rumors of trouble be
tween the two republics, growing
out of Indian raids, and the pur
suit of the robbers irom one coun
try into the other. A Mexican
dollar was only .worth 85 cents in
Texas, and tho United States dol
lar was worth but 85 cents in Mexi
co, it was early m the mornm
He had nothing to do with the
rest of the day or with the rest of
his life, for that matter. The
Mexican eagle on his last 'remain
ing coin suggested something to
his desperate fancyj " and he wan
dered across' to El Paso Del Norte,
on the Mexican side. He bought
a drink of mescal there for 15
cents, laid down his Mexican dol
lar and received an American dol
lar in change, equivalent to 85
cents in Mexican . money. He
looked at the coin and an idea
struck him. It appealed to his
speculative humor.
He retraced his steps to the
American side, walked to a saloon
and called for a drink of whisky,
paid for it with his solitary Ameri
can dollar, which he had received
in change on the other side, and
got a Mexican dollar in change
Children Cry for
Pitcher's Castorla.
This he promptly carried over the
line, bought a drink of mescal, and
got a United States dollar in
change. Then he got to thinking.
Here was the situation. He had
precisely the same capital he
started with an hour before, and
had distributed 60 cents' worth of!
liquor through his system in the
way of dividends. The whisky
and mescal were gone. They were
no further use to anybody. The
Visible supply of exhilarating
beverage had been absolutely di
minished t that extent. He had
bought at the market price. . He
had paid for it iu cash. He") had
all his original capital still in his
pocket. True, he had contributed
the labor of walking back and
forth from the. Mexican to the
Texas sidej and vice versa, but
that, as he shrewdly decided, was
non productive labor, as far as the
interests of the public were con
cerned. It earned nothing, for it
added nothing to the supply of
anything. He might have walked
back aud forth till the river ran
dry without anybody being the bet
ter off.
Here ,vas a chance to get even
with the section of the country
which had indirectly been the
cause of bis bankruptcy. He
walked back to the Texas side,
bought another drink, got a Mexi
can dollar in change, "went back
to the Mexican town, got another
drink and a United' States dollar
in change. He kept it up all day.
He picked up a slick and cut a
notch in it for every drink, as tLe
old Indian fighters used to keep
score of the scalps they took. He
kept it up pretty steadily all that
dav until closinjr-np time, and set
at it next day as soon as he could
see. He waxed enthusiastic over
his speculation, giving a war-whoop
at every notch in the stick.
Sut at last he got to wondering
who was losing all this money.
Apparently n it the barkeepers.
They were getting the market rate
for their liquor. Surely not he,
for he was holding his "own. The
problem bothered him. lie was
naturally a queer man. The more
he thought of it the more he drank,
the more his head swam round
with perplexity, and the more the
subject in question became com
plicated with extraordinary things,
which reminded him of the me
nagerie he had gone to see when
he was a boy. At length, when
he had consumed $5.05 worth ot
Texas whisky, and $5 worth . of
Mexican mescal, he died in front
of the saloon where he got the first
drink, and with a silver dollar in
United States coin in his pocket
died of wondering who had lost
the $10.05 worth of two kinds of
liquor which he had consumed,
although the local coroner said it
was delirium tremens.
But neither the coroner nor the
jury' explained who lost the $10.05,
and that is what I want to know

A START LINU EGG STORY.
An errer within an egg. Jesus
Galindo left at S. R. Coffin & Bro.'s
store the other dav a mammoth
hen's egg in which there was but
about a quarter of an inch differ
ence in the measurement both
ways. It was supposed to be the
not uncommon double yelk egg,
but upon breaking one end it was
discovered that it contained an
other egg, in size the same as an
ordinary sample of hen fruit; and
which also had a complete and
perfect shell. In the .space - be
between the shells there was
nothing a" vacuum. It is the
first instance of the kind that ever
come under our observation.
