mind to sell the animal, 30 he
spoke to the agent about 1t. He had
asked as high al three hundred dollars
for the cat, but told the agent he would
take one hundred dollars. The circus
came, and Mr.. Cole also, and the
owner Of the animal went to the hotel
and there met a, mutual friendof both,
who offered to introduce him to Mr..
Cole. So they went up stairs TO Mr..
Coles room. After q few moments,
the owner Of "Billy" said he wanted to
sell him. Mr.. Cole replied: What
will you take?n "Well, / told your
agent one hundred dollars, but you
may have him for llfty dollars. AT this
Mr.. Cole forked over the money, with
out word, and the gentleman de-
parted. When he had gone, Mr.. Cole
said to the mutual friend: ~ would
have given five hundred dollars as
quick as fifty. That fellows % fool. )"
The friend replied, "Well, you Gould
have bought it for eleven dollars That
is all he has been asking for 1t till your
show came along. Why, they are AS
plenty az blackberrics." "Is that so ~
said Cole. -"Well, what fool pve
been"
The mutual friend then left the
room and sought out the seller of the

Everybody in north Texas knows
General John j. Good, and he is rs
widely esteemed as he Is known, nor
| is his fame confined to the Lone Star
state. Back in old Mississippi they
have powerful sight of good feeling
for the "jedge." A little incident oc-
cured n short time ago, which we
think may interest our readers, and
enable them to crack joke with the
general ut his expense. Judge Good
was raised In Columbus, Mississippi,
and as q tie to bind him to his old
home, he continues to take the county
| paper, the Columbu Democrat.
About three or four weeks ago, he
committed deed which ought to en-
shrine him in the good graces of every
printer in the land. He drew check
for fifteen dollars and sent II TO the
paper, which not only paid what he
owed, but also for three or four years
In advance. Just think of that gen.
tleman. Was there ever such an
unheard of procedure? Editors
consider man q mighty good
subscriber, that pays when 1t is due,
but three or four years in advance.
Whew! On receipt OF the money, the
editor of the Democrat couldn't hold in
He launched forth ina highly lau da-
tory article on Judge Good, and state d
that II the Democrats OF Mississippi
had oeen staunch and true like Coed
things would have been better In that
state. The article was widely read,
and General Good was talked about
considerably. A week ago last Sun
day local preacher delivered SER
mon from the text, "Who shall stand

and members got to noddlng, but the
minister kept on and on, till near the

force he had, he shouted In high

ton from his brow, he brought all his

There never has becn.a time when the

been caused by outward application as the
present. II is an undisputed fact that over
half of the entire population OF the globe re-
sort to the use of ordinary plasters.
DIR. MELvIN'S CAPSICUM POROUS PL.AsTERS
are acknowledged by all who have used
them, to act quicker than any other plaster
they ever before tried, and that one OF these
plasters will do more real service than a hum
dred of the ordinary kind. All other plas-
tiers are slow of action, and require TO be
worn continually to effect u cure; but with
these II is entirely different; the instant one
is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physicians in. all ages have thoroughly
tested and well know the effect of Capsicum:
and IL has always been more or less used as n
medical agent for an outward application:
but 1t is only of very recent date that its adj
Vantages IN a porous plaster have been dis
covered. Being, however. convinced of the
wonderful cures effected by DIR. MELvIN's
CAPslcuM Porous PLAsTERS and their supe-
riority over all other p%lasters, they now
actually prescribe them, in their practice. for
