FINDS A $1,000 BILL. A TRAMPS LUCK THAT DID HIM 4 NO GOOD. " ' w the Not Might Wall Have Been a Piece of Wrapptaat Papar Ha Conldn't Oat It Changad-Caee of Compuleory Honeety. "I've slept under a sbcd with the thermometer 'way below lero," said the tramp, "and I'vo gome two long days with nothing to eat, but I'm tell ing you straight that when I once had $1,000 to my pocket I was worse off than at any other time I can remem ber. I had Just been let out of the bridewell In Chicago, and was begging on the streets and being turned down on every band, when I picked up a $1,000 bill on the sidewalk. I thought It was a dollar, and you bet I made a hustle to get down a side street When I dodged Into a doorway and made out that I was a thousand dollars ahead of the game the sweat started from every pore and my knees knocked together. I was regularly seasick for tan min utes and my heart thumped away un til I thought it would break out "That $1,000 meant a heap for me, you understand, but 1 was so excited that It was two hours before I could do any planning. The first thing was to buy a new suit of clothes, and I en tred a store and picked them out When I exhibited that $1,000 bill the clothier ran to the door to call a police man, I got away by a close squeese, and then I realised the situation. Tramp that I was, I couldn't get It changed at a bank nor use It to make rue more comfortable. If It had been a ten I could have got lodgings and a bed, but I'm telling you that I walked the streets as hungry as a shark, and slept at police stations and m lumber yards. "Under the circumstances the bill might as well have been a piece of brown paper. I tried all sorts of dodg es to get It busted, but It was no go. Every time I showed It I ran the risk of arrest I offered a butcher $100 to get It changed for me, but he refused to have anything to do with it I'd have sold It for half price and been glad to, but there was no such thing as making a deal Finally fu despair, I went to one of the newspaper offices and looked up the advertisements for the week past The loser had advertised, and I went to his office In a big building and gave up the bill. The reward was $50, but he counted out $10 on top of that and said: " T wouldn't have believed there was such honesty In the world. Ton could have kept the bin as wen as not' "He took down my name and all that and gave the affair away to the report ers. They wrote me np as the 'Honest Tramp' and had my picture In the pa pers, but you may gutss I didn't enjoy It overmuch. I had $00 hi place of $1,000, and as for my honesty, it was all bosh. I returned the bill because I had to, and though I'm hungry and dead broke and don't know where to turn in for the night. I'm not looking for any more big finds.

This Is a fish story, but It's true. If the writings of a man who signs "F. H. O. S." after his name count for fact We all know the "gar," a long thin gen tleman like an elongated pickerel, that often occupies a stall In our fish mar kets. Tbey rarely attain a length of over twelve Inches here, but at Am, Fiji, and thereabouts tbey grow much larger, and the bill, armed with sharp teeth, Is a weapon to be dreaded. The fish bask habitually at the very surface of the water, and become ex tremely excited and, In the larger spec imens, vicious at the slightest alarm. The gentleman who describes the In cident was collecting specimens of shells along the reef In the Am Islands, natives towing the boat along the streets and by-ways. Tossing the use less specimens and bunches of coral overboard again, to doing this be no ticed that almost invariably the large gars that were In the vicinity would start out of the water and dash away at headlong speed, glancing In and out of the water like a shot One of the fish coming near the boat, he observed that as soon as Its direction could be determined, the native lifted up the peculiar flat basket that be carried and held It np as a shield, at the same time raising his club. The Idea of using a basket as a shield seemed a comical one, but was never theless a good one, as a few moments later a native, some 300 yards to their left lifted up a huge branch of coral, and finding nothing in It hurled It back gain. It fell with a loud crash, and almost instantly four or five gars dart ed away with Incredible speed. Two of the largest came fiying toward the boat clearing three or four feet at a bound, striking the water and glancing out again, and the native had barely time to utter a warning cry, when one of them passed directly over where bis bead had been a moment before. The other came full at the native. For a second it was under the water, then out with a bound, Bashing In the sunlight like a meteor. The quick eye of the native, however, had followed It, and. stepping back, be raised the thick basket shield, and re ceived the flying gar full upon It The blow was so heavy that for the instant the man staggered, and was nearly thrown over, while the fish, evidently stunned and confused by this sudden arrest of Its progress, lasbed the water about bim into foam. A spear was soon put into It and the dangerous liv ing arrow thrown Into the boat Aus tin's Hawaiian Weekly. Food Better than Tonics. A professor In one of the many med ical colleges of this city holds that there Is no need of buying and swallow ing advertised tonics, because tbey ac complish no more than a Judiciously lected diet wllL The professor says that spinach is richer In Iron, which Is the basis of most tonics, than even the yolk of an egg, while the latter contains more than beef. The ordina ry dish of spinach and poached egg is A tonic as potent aa one in Thick iron forma a part, without the harmful ef fect of other Ingredients that enter Into the medicinal compound. Plants Im bibe Iron, and It Is through them that we should absorb It Into our system. That mineral is present largely In ap ples, lentils, strawberries, white beans. peas, potatoes and most of the red fruits and vegetables. Stewed black currants. If taken dally In their season, will cure anaemia that has become chronic. It is the experience of mari ners that while lime juice is a palliative of scurvy, potatoes are a specific. Nan- sen, in his voyage In the Fram, had no occasion to resort to the medicine chest The concentrated form of all the fruits and vegetables that his men were ac customed to eat in Norway was worth a ship load of drugs. It is the first in stance on record of the escape of Arc tic explorers confined on shipboard from the ravages of scurvy, and It was due entirely to the tonic effect of the food supplied. Gov. Roosevelt attended a recent commencement at Cornell, and while there was entertained at one of the college fraternity houses. When be was about to leave, one of his staff said to him, "Governor, the boys have an excellent library In the house, and I think they would appreciate Its en largement by a copy of your 'Rough Riders'." "Teddy," la an outburst of good-fellowship, exclaimed: "All right boys, I'll be glad to send you a copy with my compliments; the book would be a very small return Indeed for your hospitality." Whereupon one of the boys replied, excitedly: "That's so, Gov ernor; I've read It" He was evidently unaccustomed to railway travel, and was keenly alert to the possibility of acquiring Information aa the train rolled along. Gazing at the flying landscape his brain was puzzled by the little sign posts beside the track, bearing the single letter "R" or "W." He stopped the porter and asked htm the meaning of the signs. "Oh," said he, "dem's whistle and ring posts fer de engineer." The traveler pondered and became only the more perplexed. In despair be repeat ed his question to the conductor. "Those signs are for the Information of the engineer," replied the conductor; "he H to whistle or ring at certain points as Indicated by those Initial let ters." "Yes," said the traveler, "so I understood the porter, but I thought he must be mistaken. I know W stands for wring, but how In thunder do you spell whistle with an 'R'T' During a recent campaign in Ohio, the advocate on the stump of a certain candidate, speaking to an assemblage of farmers, made the following appeal to their good sense: "Friends, let ns suppose that one of you farmers has a hired man. You may feel a little doubt of him at the outset but you give him a fair trial. You like bim so well that you keep him another year. And he serves you In such a way that be se cures still another re-engagement Isn't that a good business principle?" The orator paused and smiled down at his audience. Before be could resume, the shrill voice of one of the farmers had Interrupted bim. "Say," said the voice, "how Is It when the hired man gets to thlnkin' that he owns the hull farm?" During a golf match between the Rev. Dr. Sterret and Justice Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court at the Cbevy Chase Golf Club near Washington, the doctor discovered bis ball teed np In tempting style for a One brassle shot With the utmost de liberation he went through the prelimi nary "waggles," and with a supreme effort missed the ball. For fully a minute be gazed at the tantalizing sphere without nttertng a word. At length Justice Harlan remarked, sol emnly: "Doctor, that was the most pro fane silence I ever listened to.", An old negro and bis wife, who had found freedom through Clay's efforts, made their home In Washington, where the old man, with the assistance of some white folks, turned an unused barn Into a meeting place for religious services. He was indefatigable In his efforts to collect a sufficient fund to supply a pulpit and so on. One Sun day morning, be was walking along Pennsylvania avenue, when be happen ed to meet the great Kentucky Sena tor. "Well, Bob," said the Senator, "what are you doing out so early Sun day morning?" "Sarvant, Marse Hen ry; sarvant sah. Yon know de early bird ketches do worm." "Ob, yon are worm-hunting, are yon?' "Yes, Marse Henry. I wants to ax ef you won't help me some 'bout my little church." "No, Indeed," said the Senator; "I'll not give you a cent I gave you some thing not long ago to help you with that church." "Yes, Marse Henry, dat's so, sah; you did Indeed, sah, an' dat's-a treasure laid np for you In hebben, sah." "Oh, it Is, Is It?" and Clay moved on. Turning suddenly he said: "Come here, Bob, come here." Taking from his pocket a roll of bills. he continued: "Here Is thirty dollars I won at cards after sitting up all last night Now, If you can reconcile the nse of money gotten In that way to Church purposes, take it along." Old Bob bowed and pulled bis cap. "Sar vant, Marse Henry; thankee, sab. God do move In a mysterus way His won ders to perform! Thankee, Marse Hen ry; thankee, sataP' Japanese Silent Recluses.

Bradstreet's sayti With comport- Uvmy little stock or other speculative ictlvitv, and with few strong new lea- tures presenting themselves, the gener si business of the country goes lor war rt tt a good pace, and with unprecedented volume for this period of the year. Fall tiade activity would appear to be tt its maximum, judging iiom advices of activity and strength of demand re ported alike from Western and KasWrn markets, and shared in also by most South Atlantic and interior Southern sities. Iron and steel are quiet but very ttrong at the East. Little improvement seems to be noted in wheat though the government report was temporal ilv stimulating. Weathet oonditions are partly lesponsible for I ha better demand for butter, ine strength of cotton goods is notable. Lumber retains all its old ttiengtn ana some new baying It responsible for ad vanced quotatons at several centers. This is true also of most building ma- teiials with the exception of brick whioh Is rather weak owing to reported over production. Wool is firmer at all and higher at some markets ami muon interest is taken in the next London wool sales.

The stomach tries to digest all that's put into it, but if reptatedly overloaded, it goes on a strike. That's indigestion. Rich, over-sweet, indigestible tood weakens the stomach and makes it unable to take care of the material put into it. More food taken into a weakened stomach than the stomach can digest, stays there, forms gases and rots, bringing on all the horrors of dyspepsia.
