HOW A PREACHER WAS FLEECED.

A FEW days ago Methodist clergy
n man of Kentucky occupied seat
in the smoking car of train on
Southern road. He sat quietly smoking
cigar, evidently in profound thought
when a stranger sauntered up, and drop
ping large gold-headed cane by the
clergyman, stopped down, picked it up,
and then, begging pardon for intruding,
sat down in the seat with the religious
gentleman. The stranger spoke of poll
tics, and, complimenting Hayes South
ern policy very much, soon had good
friend in the parson, to whom he ex-
planned matters in Louisiana, giving
that State as his home. The minister
said he seldom troubled himself with
matters political, on account of his &C.
clesiastical position.
"Just so," said the other, ''you are
right. / have been a member of that
grand old church, the Presbyterian, for
twenty-five years. like it and 1 love
it, but sometimes, / can't well resist TAX
ing a hand in politics."
The conversation ran on thus for
some time, when man roughly clad,
with large broad-brimmed hat came
up. He hailed from Texas, and said half
the folks down his way did not know
who was President. He then remarked
that the other half hadn't heard wheth-
er the war was over. This made the
preacher laugh, and also the gentleman
from Louisiana.
The minister spoke to the Texan, ask

VEGETINE.

The range OF disorders which yield to the infiu-
ence OF this medicine, and the number Of defined
diseases which IL never fails to cure, are greater
than any other single medicine has hitherto been
even recommended for by any other than the pro-
prietors Of some quack nostrum. These diseases
are Ser0fula and all eruptlve dlseasesand Tumors
Rheumatism, Gogt, Neuralgia, and Spinal Com
plants and all infiammatory symptoms Ulcers,
all Syphilitic diseases. Kidney and bladder dis
eases, Dropsy, the whole train OF painful disor-
ders which so generally affct American women,
and which carry annually thousands OF them to
premature graves Dyspepsia, that universal
curse of American manhood, Heartburn, Piles,
Constipation, Nervousness, Inability to sleep,and
impure blood. This is formidable list Of human
ailments for any single medicine to successfully
attack, and tits not probable that any one arti-
clebefore the public has the power to cure the
quarter OF them except Vegetne. 1t lays the axe
At the root OF the tree OF disease by first elimna-
ting every impurity from the blood, promoting
the secretions, opening the pores-the great es
cape valves OF the system-invlgoratng the liver
to its full and natural action cleansing the stom-
ach and strengthening digestion. This much ac
complished, the speedy and the permanent cure
of not only the diseases we have enumerated but
likewise the whole train Of chronic and constitu-
tOnal disorders, Is certain to follow This Is pre-
cisely what Vegetne does, and it does it so quick
ly. and so easily, that it is an accomplished fact
almost before the patient 1t aware Of it himself.

In the atmosphere experienced here during
summer months, the lethnrgy produced by the
heat takes away the desire for wholesome food,
and frequent perspratons reduce bodily ener-
gy, particularly those suffering from the effects
of deblltatlng diseases. In order TO keep
natural healthful activity Of the system, we
must resort TO artificial means. For this pur-
pose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic Is very eiIectu-
al. A few doses will create an appetite and
give fresh vlgor TO the eDervated body. For
Dyspepsia, II is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which
are generally employed for that purpose. The
Sea Weed Tonic In It's nature Is totally differ
ent from such drugs. II contains no corrosive
minerals or acids in fact II assists the regular
operations of nature, and supplies her dehclen-
cies. The tonic in It's nature SO much resem-
bles the gastric juice that IL Is almost identl-
cal with that fluid. The gastric Juice is the
natural solvent which, In healthy condition
OF the body, causes the food TO be digested I;
and when this juice is not excreted In sufficient
quantities, indigestion, with all Its distressing
symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed Tonic per-
forms the duty of the gastric juice when the
latter Is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic

A Scotch Story.

A certain minister having become
much addicted to drink, his presbytery
had to interfere, and get the minister to
sign the pledge. The result was that the
sudden reaction was too much for him,
he became so ill that the doctor was sent
for. The doctor said he must begin to
take his toddy again. This the minis
ter said he could not do as he'd taken the
pledge. The doctor replied that he might
get a bottle or two quietly, and nobody
but their own selves and the housekeep-
would know it. "Man," said the min
lister, "my housekeeper is worse than
all the presbytery put together, so that
would not do"
However it was arranged that the
doctor should bring the whiskey and
sugar, and that the minister was to
make up the toddy in his bedroom with
the hot water he got for shaving pur-
poses in the morning.
The result was the minister soon got
well, and one day on going out, the
doctor said to the minister's housekeep-
er; ''Well, Margaret your minister is
quite himself again."
"There's nae doubt in that, sir" she
replied, she's quite well in body, but
there's something game wrong wi his
upper story"
"What's there, Margaret !" asked the.
doctor.
"Wel, sir, 1 dinna ken, but he asks
for shaving water six or seven times a
day."

A Duel with Pills.

IN ~
IN lady, rich as she was beautiful. or
course she was beloved and sought by
many suitors, and among them were u
lawyer and n doctor. The latter was
the favorlte Of the lady, and consequent
ly the disciple of Demosthenes was
jealous of the follower of AGsculapius.-
The former initiated quarrel with the
latter, who applied an insulting eplthet
to him, whereupon the lawyer challeng
ed the doctor and he, therefore, had the
choice of weapons. HIsculapius chose
that with which he may have killed
many patient, in addition to writing
the death warrants in Latin prescrip-
tions, namely, pills.
Demosthenes was indignant; but, was
answered by his opponent that those
were his weapons, with which he had
fought even death himself, and he would
fight with no others. Upon consulta-
ton the seconds decided that the chal-
lenged party, from time immemorial,
had the choice of weapons and right,
If 1t was his selection, to fight with
pitchforks or twenty-four Founders.
The day and place was arranged, and
the manner of the duel was as follows
There was two pill boxes, one white the
other black-life in one, death in the
other - a terrible alternative. The
duellists were to be blindfolded, the pill
boxes to be placed in hat, well shaken
before taken, as is customary with phys
ic. The challenged party to draw first !;
he did, and the doctor obtained the fatal
black box, the opponent lawyer the
white. The pills were to be swallowed
within five minutes after the drawing
The doctor solemnly gave directions for
the disposal of his property and instant
ly upon signal, each swallowed his al
lotted pill. The lawyer, stood erect and
smiling, as he saw the doctor fall to the
earth, in all the agonies caused by the
fatal pill. He finally ceased to breathe.
The lawyer, however, became frighten-
ed at the death of his opponent, and by
such an unusual duel, and was advised
at once, with second and surgeon, to
journey to France to escape the penalty
of the English law, which prevailed also
in Ireland.
They took the advice and were of
like rockets, without even taking leave
of the fallen physician. Scarcely were
they out of sight, when, like Anteas, ,up
sprung the doctor from his mother earth,
refreshed, and not injured, announced
his own safety to his lady love, married
her the same day, and lived the hap
piest of the happy.
"How did he recover ?" Why both
| pills were made of pure flour, the bread
of life, and not death. His skill, acting
and imagination fought and won his
| victory matrimonial He was regarded
thereafter as the best bred (bread) physi-
clan in Dublin, and his patients increas.
ed accordingly; while the lawyer ceased
to have clients, from having lost the
chief suit of his life.

Lone Star State The answer was, as
soon as he could see some " kinfolks"
up In Iowa. He did not like any spot |
but Texas. Elsewhere the people could |
not ride pony hundred yards with
out letting down fences and opening
gates. 1t was his first time away from
home SO far and would also be his last.
He had told his "pap" that he did not
want TO come over with steers, but pap
said must come, and / had to mind
him, for he Is older than am"
$50 you brought over the cattle, did
you ?" said Louisiana.
"Oh, yes" said Texas, "over two
hundred head. They were sold In New
Orleans. All big formed steers, as fat as
butter"
"What did you get for them Y"asked
Louisiana.
"Three and half cents pound but
them fellers down there are the smartest
traders 1 ever saw. They can tell every
hair in critters hide, so they can /
would have done well, but you see I
fooled off S400 before got away"
"Dear me-" said the preacher; "how
did you fool 1t off, as you sayY"
"Well," +" continued Texas, / am al
most ashamed to tell you but howsum-
ever, I'll not say word about it when L
get home, for the cowboys would all
laugh at me-"
Don't be afraid to tell us, remarked
the divine.

"Ahr" interrupted the preacher
"that is awful and did you know that
1t was very wicked to gamble ?"
why, no; all of us boys in Texas
play seven-up."
" For money Z" asked Louisiana.
" Yes" responded Texas.
"That's dreadful ~ said Louisiana.
every" put in Texas.
"This was new game" Texas pro-
| ceeded to say. I" never saw itbefore.-
| Here is the mans cards, and here Is
how l lost my money. When 1 get
home j will win all the cowboys mon
ey, but not tell them j lost any
oh, mol"
Texas then showed how the man in
| New Orleans had done. The others
looked on with interest, and as they
laughed over his loss, Texas said they
needn't be SO smart they themselves
couldn't tell the card with the baby on
it for $50. The preacher and Louisiana
designated this card successfully from
among the others several times. Texas
seemed angry, and said he'd bet $5 they
couldn't do it again. Louisiana said
something to the minister about not be-
lieving in betting, but would win $50
and donate it to his church, provided
the young man would throw away his
cards and promise to bet no more. The
young man said he would, and up went
the 500. Louisiana won and the preach
er laughed so heartily that Texas turned
to him and said:
"I'll try you one, and then stop the
Internal business. Your friends store
keeper and bit too smart for me-"
"Take $50 out of him and double ii
to your church, as L shall do" said
Louisiana.
The preacher put out $50, and Texas
observing he had considerable more, re-
marked:
"I'll do as you say after this, and
throw away these cards, but I want to
bet 500. I've just lost that much and
want it back. 1 can't go any less.
So up went the 800 and over went
the card, but not the right one. The
preacher had lost, and Texas picked uI
5000 and walked away laughing.

well-known George Devol, and he from
