Trying to AstOn.sh a PawnbrOker.
Chicago Tribune


The imperturability and extreme
caution of the average pawnbroler are
proverbial. On Saturday young man
of an experimental and facetious turn
of mind resolved to astonish pawn
broker or die in the attempt. So En-
tering the sacred shrine he gave the
officiating pontiff $40 gold piece, and
said: "Well, old man, how much'll
you advance me on that ?n The
pawnbroker tested, rang, and weighed
the coin, dropped a little aquafortis
upon it, and replied: II can let you
have 81 on it.n "Four Erebuses!n
cried the young man, "why, its worth
more. "Well, yes" answered the
pawnbroker, "the gold is good evil
IDENTIFY, but it is very old-fashioned-it
was made in lSS4-and isn't worth any
more than its weight in old metal.
Besides, there is such fluctuations in
gold and silver. I've seen gold up to
285 and silver down to 81; how do /
know but that silver may go up to
2S5 and gold down to 81! can't take
any risks in my business like that,
you know. But I'll tell you what /
will do, seeing it's you. 1 don't mind
letting you have IS on it, but don't let
the boss know, for he has the heart
disease, and the shock might kill
him."
"Gimmaseven dollars, and take il. I"
said the impecunious youth; but the
pawnbroker shook his head so sternly
that he knew it was no go, and so
picking up his $40 gold piece he de-
parted. He returned three minutes
afterwards. and throwing down the
same piece, said to the pawnbroker:
''Say, can you give me two five dollar
greenbacks for this?' Certainly,
sir,' said the pawnbroker,- calmly
and produced the notes. You sweet
scented old IDIOT said the young man
as he pocketed the bills, "that's the
same $40 gold piece that you wouldn't It
lend me seven dollars on at'interest a
minute ago" 81 know it, my friend"
said the pawnbroker,-"that was busi-
ness-that was buinsess."

From the Pittsburg Commercial. ]
Restored by PRAYER.

THE CASE OF THE REV. w. H. swARTz,
WHO WAS CURED OF SEVERE ILL
NESS.
Rev. w. H. Swartz, of Beaver
Falls, Pa, who graduated in the class
of VI, Allegheny College, preached at
the State Street church Meadville,
night before last, when he said it was
not his intention 10 preach a sermon,
but to give testimony, and he related
wonderful story of the efficacy of
prayer in restoring him to health,
which in brief is as follows: After his
graduation he received an appoint
ment from the Erie Conference to
preach at Ridgway, Pa. After few
months labor he was stricken with
disease and was compelled to resign
his charge. After being compelled to
leave his work at Ridgway, he went
to his fathers home, near Beaver Falls,
where he grew rapidly worse, but
through the aid of eminent physicians
he was partially cured several times,
but relapsed into a worse condition
each time. Two visits were made to
Clifton Springs, but finally medicine
failed to have any effect upon his sys-
tenn and a gradual but sure decline
was taking place. He had become so
bad that he could not read or converse,
when letter was received from his
brother, Clark Swartz, who is now in
Boston, Mass, stating that Rev. DIR.
Cullis, of that city, had performed
many wonderful cures by prayer if it
was the Lords will that the patient
should be cured. Accordingly a letter
was written and delivered to DIR. Cullis
by the brother. Upon receiving the
letter he knelt in prayer and said upon
arising said: "rell your brother he
will be well.' The word reached the
invalid the 7th day of April, when he
also knelt in fervent prayer. On the
Sth he was much better, and on the
9th arose from his bed in perfect health
both physically and mentally, and has
been so ever since, able to work on his
fathers farm during the week and
preaching every Sunday. After de
livering the above testimony, demon
strating that miracles are performed
in this age, Rev. Swartz made al
earnest plea, telling the lessons to bc
learned from his experience, and i'm
pressing the audience with the power
of faith and efficacy of prayer.

Science has accomplished no more
wonderful or gratifying result that the
antidote to the chilling signs of APP
preaching age, something to obliterate
the tell tale tracks of time, and pre-
serve the natural adornments of youth
to ripe old age. Halls Hair Renewer
does all this, and its praise resounds in
cottage and. palace. The dwellers
among the SHOWS of Norway and the
peasants of sunny France and Spain,
find use for it, and find means to
get it, and it does not dissapoint them.
The whitening locks again resume
their youthful color, the thin, dry and
faded hair becomes bright and glossy.
The whole appearance is changed as
if by magic, and the man or woman,
who, before was called aged, now ap-
pears as one in the prime of life. Such
wOnderous changes cannot pass un-
noticed, and they have produced the
unprecedented demand that now exists
for the first and only article ever com,
pounded that can produce them in a
pleasing and satisfactory manner. -

Thirty Dollars or a Cow.

Patrick Washington is one of the
richest farmers in Fallsburg, Sullivan
county, n. Y. He is 65 years old.
His wife died two years ago. Mary
Boyle was a comely servant in the
family of prominent resident of this
place. Thomas Flanagan was friend
of Mary Boyle's Washington wanted
to marry again. He several times
said to Flanagan that he was looking
for a second wife. Flanagan finally
told him that if he would give him $50
or COW he would get him a wife.
Washington accepted Flanigan's s
proposition. Flanagan brought Wash
ington to this village and introduced
him to Mary Boyle. Immediately
after the introduction Washington
made an offer of marriage to Miss
Boyle, and she accepted him. She
never knew his Christian name until
the bans were read in church. They
were married on the first day of July.
On the second Flanagan presented
a bill to Washington for $50. Wash
ington said he could not pay the
money, but he would give Flanagan a
four-year'old steer. Flanagan said he
wanted $50 or a cow, according to
agreement. Washington refused to
fill his part ofthe contract. Flanagan
at once brought suit against Washing
ton. 1t was tried before Esquire w. B.
Niven few days ago, with ajury.
Flanagan recovered verdict for $50.

The Edenburg correspondent OF

The Edenburg correspondent of
the Oil City Derrick, of the I'd inst,
thus chronicles an interesting episode :
Several years ago a prepossessing man
landed in Castle Garden, New York,
and after drifting around for several
months at last settled down in Eden
burg and started in the dry goods busi-
ness. Times were prosperous, fortune
smiled on him, and money came to
his Golfers rapidly. Ultimately he
started branch store in Pittsburg and
later one in Millerstown, and fortune
was still his in financial way. Dur
ing trip TO New York for goods last
fall he was married and brought his
wife to this place to reside. Except
ing rousing serenade on their arrival
home, nothing has marred their life
of bliss since, until Sunday last when
lady from "over the ocean wave,n
with four children at her side,
called on Mr.. l.. and asserted
her right as wife number one
and demanded him to answer why he
had not communicated with her these
many years, and what he had done
with the five hundred dollars she had
given him to start out to seek his for
tune with. The affair created great
uproar over the town yesterday, and
there is much excitement over the
matter yet this morning. Wife num-
Der two is said to be on the verge OF
committing suicide while wife num-
ber one is determined to have satisfac-
ton. The latest rumor is that the
matter has been compromised by the
man giving wife number one two
thousand dollars spot cash. Consider
ing the fact that he has accumulated
perhaps twenty thousand dollars worth
of property on the "setting out she
gave him. it is thought he is getting
off very cheap. There will probably
be further developments.

BAD DAFFAIR.-About seven weeks
ago, a man named burke, residing two
miles above Howard'stSiding, went to
his home Intoxicated and made an as
sault on his mother, an old lady.
nearly 20 years of age. The inhuman
wretch threw her a distance of nine
feet against the side of the house,
breaking IA thigh in two places and par
TALLY dislocating it through fracture of
the edge of the socket. After inflict-
ing the injury the unnatural son re-
moved everything from the house, ex-
cept a bed, and left the poor woman
lying where she fell, and although she
had kept house for him him, and was
depending on him for support, he paid
no attention to her, and she received
no medical treatment until last We'd
nesday, when the matter was brought
to the attention of Judge More, Poor
master, who secured the services of

Cur YOUR FLowERs.-Lovers of
flowers should remember that one
blossom allowed to mature or go to
seed, Injuries the plant more than a
dozen new buds. Cut your flowers,
all of them, before they begin to fade.
Adorn your rooms with them; put
them OH your tables; send bouquets to
your friends who have no flowers, or
exchange favors with those who have.
All roses after they have ceased to
bloom, should be cut back, that the
strength of the root may go to forming
new roots for next year.
