CENTAUR
LIN I'M e N II S.

SO nearly perfect are the recipes Of these
wonderful pain-soothing and healing Centaur
Llniments, that we can confidently say they
will alleviate any pain arising from flesh, bone,
or muscle derangements We do not pretend
that they will mend broken leg or exterml-
nate bols, but even in such cases they will re-
duce the Inflammation and stop the pain. Nor
can we guarantee the proper results where the
body is poisoned by whisky. Temperance is as
necessary to proper physical, as mental con-
dition.
The White Centaur Linlment is particularly
adapted to all cases OF rheumatism. Lumbago,
Neuralgia, ErysIpelas, Itch, sprains,C hilblalns,
Cuts, Bruises, Stings, Poisons, Scalds, Sclatlca,
Weak Back, Pains In the side, wounds, Weep
ing sinews, Burns, Frosted Feet, Palsy, Ear
ache, Tooth-ache, Headache, Ulcers, Old Sores,
Broken Breasts, Sore Nipples, Sore Throat,
Group, Dlpthoria, etc. The most OF these com
plants the Centaur Eminent VIII cure all OF
them 1t will beneft. 1t Will extract the poison
from bites and stlngs. and Will cure burns and
scalds without scar. The following Is but n
sample OF thousand similar testimonials

Castoria is as pleasant to take as honey,regu-

GETTING MONEY.

The most unfortunate day in the
career Of any young man is the day
on which he fancies there is some
better way to get money than to
earn it; for from that feeling spring
the many eXtravagant and visionary
schemes which are INDUCED in for
the purpose of gaining a livelihood
without labor When a young man
once becomes thoroughly infected
with this feeling, he is ready to
adopt any means for the accomplish
ment af his object; and if his plans
are frustrated and he is foiied in his
efforts, upon the very crest of the
wave which he has already mounted,
and in full view, is the temptation to
crime, to shield him from the dis
grace which he thinks must ineyit-
ably follow 10 the wake of defeat --
To those he yields, and the first he
realizes he finds himself the violator
Of the law, and criminal in the
community, and an inmate of the
prison, awaiting trial, all brought on
for want of little manly firmness ia
the outset OF life to prompt him to
choose an avocation in life where
the penny earned would bring with
it its sure reward. Then let our
young men spurp the idea of OBJ
tanning money without rendering an
equivalent; let them be ready and
willing to occupy positions in life
which sill give them the best posi-
bic opportunity to develop their
natural talent, and do good to others
while helping themselves. In this
way We may have nation of noble
men and women, which will be Il
source of profit and pleasure to us,
and an object Of wonder and admir-
alton to the world at large.

A CORPSE ON A SPREE.
Kansas City Times.

There is in Leavenworth tall,
blonde youth, Henry Arnold Green,
who, by the free use of his little pts.
toI and his wild drunken sprees,
made himself famous in this city
about year ago. He is part own
er of the Leavenworth Appeal. lie
receives regularly a large income
from his English estate, which he
devotes to the qualification of his
whims On Monday last Green felt
unusually funny. lie had seen a
funeral procession, a'd it pleased
him to have a little funeral all to
himself. Having first secured the
services of hackmau, he directed
him to drive to an undertAker estab,
Iishment, and there he ordered a
hesrse and horses, and an empty
coffin.
The coffin was put into the vehi-
Gle, but before the doors were closed
the Englishman said that it was his
pleasure to ''get in there himself ;
After instructing the hickman to fol-
low certain line of procession at
given distance from the hearse, he
crawed inside, and, lying down be
side the coffin, lighted cigar. The
procession then moved off to CherO,
kee street, at a funeral pace, the
hearse in front and the hack follow
ing AS they went down Cherokee
street toward the river, the knight
of the black plumes produced two
bottles of whisky, which he placed.
along side of the coffin, and proceed
ed to wind up two days spree =
Presently they came in contact with
large crowd, who were on their
way to attend a festival, aud who
made comments on the strange
funeral procession. The English
corpse, becoming anxious TO know
by what authority he was delayed
on the highway, called loudly for the
driver to stop, and while so doing
turned over in his narrow apartment
and, with a loud crash, forced por-
ton of his body through one of the
large oval panes of glass on the side
of the hearsc. The crowd couldn't
stand a corpse breaking out of its
coffin, jumping through the side of
the hearse, and calling for the driv-
er to stop further proceedings -
They fled in all directions. After
once more getting inside, the auth or
of the adventure was driven to
Shawnee street, and then he return
ed the Lhearse and coffin to their
owner.

OUR GERTIE rs DEAD

The Detroat Free Press thinks
that wrong is done to boys OF ten or
twelve, who, from their appearance
on the street, are thoughtless and des-
titute of kindly sympathies. Ia sup
port of its opinion it tells this tender
story:
Among the houses on Clinton street
is one which has missed many pane
of glass in its windows. Rags and
papers are used to keep the cold air
out, or it may blow in and whistle
through the desolate rooms without
let or hinderance. A girl of ten
whose life had been one long period
of hunger, pain and unhappiness,
was taken sick one day in March,
and people passing could see her ly>
ing on miserable bed near one of
the windows.
1t was curious thatany Of the boys
coming or going, should have stopped
to think or care about it, but they
did. One of them, feeling sad at
sight of the sufferers pale face, hand
ed an orange through broken pain,
saw it clasped by slender white fin.
gers, and then ran away.
He told the other boys, and byo
and by there wasn't a day that some
lad didn't halt at the window to pass
in fruit or flowers. None of them
Knew the family, or even spoke to the
girl, and so they gave her the name
I'of Gertie, ana called her their or
rphan.
Boys went without marbles and
the other things which belong to boy
hood sports, that their pennies might
buy an orange, lemon, or some sins
pie flower for Gertie, and their anx-
iety for her to get well was fully as
great as the doctors or the mothers.
Whatever present they had they
handed it through the broken pane,
waited for her to reach up, and new
err fingered long than to hear a soft
'thank YOU from her lips. Days
went by, but the boys did not grow
weary. 1t was romance and charity
so we'll combined that it gladdened
their hearts aud made them fond of
each other.
Yesterday morning lads hand,
holding a sweet flower and a big orr
ange, went to the window. No white
fingers touched his as they grasped
the offering. lie waited a moment,
and then, with beating heart, looked
through into the room. The bed had
been taken away. On a table rest
ted a pine coffin, and on the coffin
was bunch of faded flowers which
had been handed through the window
the day before. Death had been
there, aud the boys no longer had a
mission. You might not have seen
the boy hiding in a doorway and
wiping tears from his eyes. lie was
seen, ho~ev r, and when asked the
cause of his sorrow, he sobbed out
the whole sad romance in four words,
''Our Gertie is dead"
