How Women Hide their Money.

The curious ways that women have
of hiding their money are shon by
the Cincinnati Commercial. That
paper says: +" Mrs. Hansen put $50 in
the oven of her stove one night to
keep it safe. Next morning, after
breakfast, the national debt had been
diminished exactly that much. A
student of the curious would find it
interesting to note the places in
which women hide their money.
One excellent and frugal dame used
to tuck her little savings away under
the corner of her carpet. The tiny
roll of greenbacks grew tatter and
fatter in the course of year or two,
when the day after it counted $3.50
the house took fire, burned to the
ground, and again the national debt
was diminished by little roll CT
woman's pin money. There was that
other careful lady, too, who used to
sometimes hide her diamond rings
between two tea cups in the kitchen
cupboard, and sometimes behind a
certain brick in the cellar, and again
under the lining Of an old hat. She
had divers other places of safety for
her ewery also, the only trouble be-
ing that she had ), o many hiding pla-
ces she occasionally forgot where she

The Wrong Pig.

Old Doctor Johns lived in the lit.
tie village Of Honeyhurst, and for
forty years he had been the sole physi-
clan in the district where he resided.
No one cared to enter the list against
him in that locality, for the simple
inhabitants fully believed that there
was not such another master of the
healing art in the known world, and
so he drove his redwheeled gig over
the lanes and by-ways of the country
side without q rival, and dared and
bullied the inhabitants in his rough
and kindly fashion to his hearts con
tent.
The doctor lived in great ramb-
ling house halfway down the village
street, with wide expanse of lawn
in front, and his little brick Office in
one corner next to the sidewalk. His
wife had died many years ago, so his
household was conducted by a house
Akeoev .Bnt as the doctors family
was small- pyed society. he
was hardly ever without a student,
to whom he taught the healing art in
the back Office. Thus it was that
Charlie Horton came to Honeyhurst
TO study medicine with the doctor,
and, as his predecessor had done be.
fore him, occupied the back office and
tie northwest chamber. He came
from town somewhat distant, and
was unknown to the town folks, and
like every stranger who came among
them, was made the subject Of much
critical examination, as he walked ur
the broad aisle of the village church
the Sunday evening after his arrival
Well, doctor, how are you," sale

gate of his cornfeld next morning al
the doctor came driving by.
All, Smith how do you do?" re
piled he, as he drew rein upon the
grey mare and stopped. "How'i

think we amt got the wrong pig
by the car, eh, doctor?" said the
farmer laughing.
Well, don't know" replied the
village Esculapius, can't tell yet"
Now, " getting the wrong pig by
the ear, was one of the doctors great
expressions, in fact his favored one.
Like Shakespeare's justice, he was "full
of wise saws and modern instances, .
and had proverb or apt quotation
upon every occasion. With him, if a
man made mistake, g it was getting
the wrong pig by the ear" Ofcourse
this popularity was well known
through all the country about where
he practiced, and hence the quotation
of Farmer Smith.
Time passed on, and Charles Hor-
ton became fully domesticated in the
doctors household. He was a fine

about, showing that it was not age,
and in two hours time the doctor
was so thoroughly frightened that he
believed his end liable to occur at
any moment, and he besought " DR..
Holmes to do whatever lay in his
power to give him relief. Doctor
Holmes promised to think it over du-
ring the night DR.. Johns would not
hear of his returning to the inn, but
insisted upon his taking bed in his
own house
Charlie with a grave face finally
consented, but before going to bed he
advised the doctor to take an ano-
dyne, assured him that there was no
immediate danger, and cleverly man.
aged to slip an emetic into the doc
tors glass of rum and water, which
he always took before retiring, and
had done SO with great regularity for
thirty years.
About the middle of the night
the old housekeeper called Charlie
up in great haste and terror. DR..
Johns was very sick, and had asked
her to call DR.. Holmes as soon as pos
sible. Charlie went into the bed
room and found him tossing around
and groaning at great rate. He felt
now he had an attack of the diseases
mentioned by Charlie, and besought
him to do what he could, speedily,
Charlie made an examination,
looked grave, and shook his head.
"Bad is it, DR.. Holmes?" asked
Johns, family; tell me the worst,
sir.?"
:" It's a bad case, DR. Johns said
Charlie. " / can do but one thing,
and that is costly one. l can give
you prescription, but it will cost
twenty pounds. I am obliged to ask
that for it, as obtained it under he
culiar circumstances. 1t may give
you relief. 1 have seen it used with
very good results"
"Twenty pounds ?" asked the old
doctor eagerly. All right, I'll give
/ .ia--sir. --Syhat is. aMnDescri1tion,?
Here is the money!
Charlie wrote on a slip Of paper
folded.it mp and handed 1t to the doc
tor. He received it eagerly, opened
it with trembling hands, and by the
light of the bedroom lamp read:
Don't get the wrong pig by the
ear" D. CHARLES HORTON.
With one bound the doctor was
out of bed, but CDR Holmes had
vanished.
Charlie" said DR. Johns next day
I'm getting old; you must come and
take my practice. Your twenty
pounds will help to give you start"
The doctor says he never got the
wrong pig but once.

and returned home. Meanwhile he
had changed greatly, and from a
smooth faced STRIPPING, with the
merest suggestion Of mustache, he
was now bearded like the pard, and
looked SO different that his own
mother hardly knew him. But he
had not forgotten DR.. Johns, nor his
promised revenge. 1t was Saturday
night when the stage coach set
Charles Horton down at the door Of
the village inn at Honeyhurst. He
gave false name to the landlord,
and smoked a cigar with him after
supper, and inquired about the vii
lage without that functionary once
suspecting his identity
In the course of the conversation
Charles asked, "who it was that
lived in that large house with a front
garden down the street."
'sEhat's DR.. Johns-been here a
good many years; clever man. I'll
introduce him to you if you wish.
The doctor and 1 are pretty good
friends
WRl,0 slowly replied Charlie, as
if COM dering it, he ought to know
his danger, aud it would be best to
tell him. 1t may not be too late"
And on they started, down the
street, toward the doctors residence.
"W hat did you say was his name?''
ashed Charley as they marched along.
DR.. Johns" replied the host.
"Johns = Johns" said Charlie
thoughtfully; 81 knew fellow in
Europe Charles Horton by name
who said he had studied with a DR..
Johns, an old man, and somewhat of
a character. l wonder if your doc
tor is the same man ?"
ITO be sure he is, replied the Inn
keeper. l knew Charlie Horton well
He went to Europe three or four
years ago So you know him, do ye?
Is he there yet? The doctor will be
doubly glad to sesfou &you bring
eY I'm . bought a
great deal of him.
By this time they had reached the
doctors Office, and he greeted the
landlord heartily, and looked inquir-
ingly at the stranger.
The landlord introduced Charlie as
DR.. Holmes, and added that he
brought news from Charlie Horton.
At this DIR. Johns was overjoyed,
urged the pseudo Holmes to come in
and enquired affectionately about his
old pupil.
Conversation was carried on for an
hour, when Charlie looking the doc
tor earnestly in the face, said:
Dr.. Johns, how is your health
now?"
First rate, sir-frst rate Never
felt better in my lite " and he GER
tainly looked it.
You don't find old age creeping
on, do you, sir ?" blandly inquired
Charles, but still looking very in
tently into the doctors face
"Well, little stifish in the joints
now and then; but-bless you sir
can ride as many miles, and as
many hours as ever could"
CDR. Johns" said Charles, very
impressively, do you ever meet in
your practice, people who look and
feel the perfect embodiment OF health
and yet whose constitutions are be-
ing Slapped by a fatal disease, and
they not concious of it?,'
Well, yes, I have met such cases."
replied the doctor.
And did you ever apply them to
yourself, sir ?" again asked Charlie
in solemn tones.
Why, DR.. Holmes, what do you
mean? Do you think that my con-

Death of Zach, Chandler.

Senator Zacharah Chandler was
found dead in his bed at the Grand
Pacific Hotel in Chicago last Saturday
morning, Nov. l. A dispatch says he
had been speaking for some time in
Wisconsin. On Friday evening he
addressed an immence audience at
Nc Cormick's Hall, in Chicago, and
spoke with his usual earnestness. after
the meeting when he, Senator Logan,
and Hon. Jesse Spaulding We're sitting
In his room engaged in conversation.
Senator Chandler complained of in
digestion. AS he had complained of
some distressing feeling while enroute
to the city with these gentlemen, Mr..
Spoulding suggested that he remain
over in the city until Saturday night
but he said business required his at
tention at home, and the order was
given to call him at o'clock. His
friends then bade him goodnight and
left. That is the last time the Senator
was seen alive. Next morning when
the office boy called him there was no
response. AS upon repetition silence
still prevailed, the clerk effected an
entrance through the transom and
found that the Senator was dead. The
body was not quite cold, and ply
sician who was present decided that
death occurred about three hours pre-
vious to the discovery. The face looked
tranquil, showing that his death was
the result of sudden congestion of the
lungs, brought about by a cold con-
tracted at Janesville.
Mr.. Chandler was born at Bedford,
New Hampshire, Dec. 10, 1913, being
therefore nearly 66 years of age at his
death. He went early to Detroit and
amassed fortune of two millions in
the dry goods trade and real estate
speculation. He held numerous offices,
such as Mayor of Detroit, Governor OF
Michigan, Z. S.. Senator and Secretary
of the Interior. His first election to the
Senate was in 1857, when he succeeded
Lewis Cass, a Democrat. He was re-
elected twice, serving consecutively
until 1875, when Gen. Grant ap-
pointed him Secretary of the Interior.
For the fourth time he was chosen
Senator, and took his seat on the % OF
February, 1879, in place of Senator
Christiancy who had resigned. His
term would have expired on the Sd OF
March, 1882.

Two Illinois farmers, who had a
large crop of wheat to sell, went to
Chicago and frequented the Board of
Trade rooms, which is a resort for
spectators in produce. There atten-
ton was attracted by an old man who
constantly talked and gest iculated all
by himself. They made his acquaint-
ance, and he told them that his strange
conversation was with spirits, who
kept him informed as to the future of
the market. He said that he lacked
the money to take advantage of these
supernatural points, but would sell
them at a reasonable price. The far
mers at once put him on a liberal sal
ary, and only lost faith in him when
he stole a diamond pin from one of
them. The fact that he had swindled
many others spectators was then di-
vulged.
