Are fairmnded to such we refer the scale question.
For many years great monopoly owned the patent and
amassed millions of dollars When the patent expired
the invention became public property and any one has
a legal and moral right to make Fairbanks Scales.
There are some dozen companies making genuine
Fairbanks Scales genuine because they are the exact
scale invented and patented by Fairbank. The value
of scale should be determined not by the name of the
maker nor the price, but by its accuracy and durabli
ty resulting from the of good material and skilled
mechanics. While this famous patent existed the
price of a Five Ton Wagon Scale was s225 good

Jones of Binghamton, Binghamton, New York; and
Jones he pays the freight, This is fair competition

an opportunity to try his SCALE and that it is rs

New Theory of General Custer,s Death,

new IHeOry Oh Ueneral tuSter'S Ueatll.
The view has been advanced by Col.
Dodge. of General Sherman's personal
staff, that General Custer died by his
own hand, instead of being shot by
the Indians, when he fell into the fatal
trap which had been set by them for
his command. Colonel Dodge is a
well-known Indian fighter, and has
spent thirty years on the plains. He
bases Lis opinion on the fact that the
remains 0, Custer were not mutilated
in any way, and that he was left I'M
scalped on the field. 1t is well under
stood by officers of the army ON the
frontier that the plains Indians never
mutilate the body or remove the scalp
of an enemy who falls by his own
hand. The man who reserves the last
shot for himself, who sacrifices his own
life when there is no longer hope, dies
with the stamp of divine protection on
his body, and no power on earth could
induce q Plains Indian to touch the
remains with sacreligious hand. Gen
eral Clusters body was found in the
midst of his scalped and mutilated fol
lowers, but not hair of his head had

indicating mutitation. The possible
explanation, according to Colonel
Dodge, is on the ground that he COM
mitted suicide, when he saw his gal
liant band skot down to a man around
him. This view does not detract in
any way from Clusters personal cour-
age. On the contrary, it was an act of
supreme herOism under the circum-
stances, and what might have been ex-
pected of a man of his superb mettle
and daring. 1t was not because he
feared dishenor, but because he rever-
enced himself, and would shield his re-
mains from savage mutilation that he
died by his own hand,

SENDING A VALENTINE.

I might begin, The rose is red7
Though that is not so very new
Or this the boys all think is good
If you love me as 1 love you"
But, seems to me,-a valentine
Is nicer, when you do not say
The same old things that every one
Keeps saying, in the same old way.
And asked Jane, the other night,
What gFOwn-up people write about.
ltwould not answer me at first,
But laughed til began to pOut.
That stopped her, for she saw ] meant
The question land she will not tease.l
"Why-lOve." she said, 'and shining eyes,
kiss soft hair-just what they please.
1t can't be hard, if that is all,
So I'll begin by saying this:
To my dear lady beautiful,
/ send a valentine and kiss.
The valentine, because she has
The lOveliest hair and gentlest eyes;
The kiss. because love her more
Than any one beneath the skies;
Because she is the kindest, best,
The sweetest lady ever known;
And every year III say the same,
The very same. to her alone!
There Now its finished. Who will do ;
I've thought of one and then another.
Who is there like it Why Of course,
I'll send it right away to mother.

A Cure for Rolls

Arsenic in small doses Is one of the
best agencies known for the cure of the
many forms of skin disease, and in the
British Medical Journal Mr.. j. Hutchin-
son. senior surgeon of the London Hos
pital, reports a wonderful cure of a
plague of boils by means of the same
remedy. The patient was covered
from head to foot with boils, and was
in a miserable state from pain. The
mucous membrane as we'll as the skin
proper was affected. The patient was
keptin bed few days without treat
ment, in order that it might be demon
strated that his condition was not inn
proving. Instead of improving, it grew
worse. Then without changing diet
he was given few drops of tasteless
solution of arsenic three times day.
In few days nearly all the boils had
dried, and there were no fresh ones.
Had this knowledge been attained at
the time of Job, and his physicians
been posted on the subject, the name
of that biblical sufferer would not have
been handed down to posterity in the
shape that it has been.
