IMPOSITION!

The Patrons of Ponds Extract
are cautioned against the uncer-
tain, strengthless decoctions Of
fered to the public as being equal
to this far-famed, old established
remedy.
bO not be deceived by similarity
OF odor and appearance. These
mutations cannot an arg instance
be compared with Ponds Ex-
tract
This great Curative is always of n
steady and uniform character.
The extensive facilities for the
manufacture of Ponds Ex-
tract enables the Company to
guarantee this while the imitator
does not produce the same result
twice in succession
The true secret of the manufac-
ture of Ponds Extract is
too well guarded and too wisely
transmitted 10 escape
other interruptions trades
men, desirous of making a lar ger
profit, are in the habit of stating
to their customers who ask for
Ponds Extract, that they
do not keep it in bottles but have
it in bulk.
This Company is most solicit
tous to protect their patrons from
this dishon orable trick, rcsorted
to for the purpose of palming off
on the public cheap dec oction
that can not in any way compare
in purity and quality with this
old established remedy.
some of cur friends are in the
habit of taking old Ponds
Extra ct bottles to the druggists
to be reflled. No dealer can
refill bottle with genuine
Ponds Extract except by
emptying another bottle.

furnishes them with the name OF

ANGELL'S TEETH.
The Chicago Thief Identified In
Portugal by His Teeth.

From information obtained ut the
State Department ii appears that tile
correspondence growing out OF the Ell
forts TO capture Angel, the absconding
Secretary oil the Pullman Palace Car
Company, has been scarcely less yolu-
minous than that of the Charley Ross
case itself, although the progress OF the
search has been kept more quiet. Pho
tographs Of the fugitive were sent to ey-
cry city In the country and In all direc-
tons asking for more particular descrip-
tons. A score Of persons were at dill.
ferent times placed under surveillance
until communication could be had with
the company, and those escaped being
watched only when the detectives were
fully satisfied that they were ON the
wrong trail Tue test applied to all sus-
peeted persons WAS an examination OF
their teeth, the reason for this being
that Angel had peculiarly shaped
front tooth, and this fact was what led
to his capture in Portugal. As soon rs
communication could be- had with the
company after his movements had
aroused suspicion, the company Tor
warded % full description of the peculiar
tooth to Lisbon, and as the description
exactly corresponded to Angeles tooth
he was promptly arrested, subsequent
investigation proving the test well taken.
No objection will be raised by the State
Department to the Consul's receiving
the reward offered by the company, ~
his services in persuading the Portu'
guese Government tn deliver up the fu.
vatiys were not i'm the line of his official
duty. The reward, together with ten
per cent, on the $40, 900 Of stolen money
recovered, will amount TO $4,000.

Happiness.

OF all our acquaintance, happiness
is most desired, and yet most I'll used
when she comes Wesent her pressing
invitations to make her home with us.
but when she is here We slight her, re-
fuse to acknowledge her winning graces,
and she soon droops and fades like q
flower in the scorching sun. Then when
we SIC the result, We hasten to revive
her; we shed tears over her prostrate
form, We lavish kisses over her, and,
with tender solicitude, coax her hack To
life. Then the same story Of neglect, OF
despair, and death, follows; and We re-
pent over and over again. Surely We
never know how to treat our best friends,
because oi our cagerness after the I'M
known, after the treasures Of the dawn
ing future; so that the sweet companion-
shin OF golden hours is hidden from view
by the heavy mists OF unrest, searching
after the ideal.
