what a German Newspaper Says.

W..
We Germans are in general not inclined
to believe at once in great announcements
and putlS; We are rather suspicious, and
often with perfect right, of exaggerations
and humbugs. Our motto is What the
eve sees the heart believes and We
therefore desire 10 see and examine our
selves before We speak about things and
praise them. This was our idea when we
heard and read 50 much about DR.. \. 5.
Richmond's Justly celebrated Worlds Epi-
leptic Institute, and We therefore sent a
reporter to the building. We are now able
TO give the best information on the subject,
based on personal review and examination
of the premises.
Our reporter found Dr. Richmond in his
office. The doctor kindly received him,
and not only answered all his questions,
but showed and explained everything about
the place to him. His Office is on the first
floor of the building, and its walls are
covered with thousands OF photographs OF
gentlemen and ladies restored 10 nealth by
the use of Samaritan Neryine, among whom
our reporter recognized many of his own
countrymen, and its glass cases contain
innumeTable certificates OF cures and letters
in praise OF this world-famOus remedy.
About ten wears ago DR.. Richmond came 10
ST. Joseph. He was then a poor young
man, with but little money, and no friends
10 assist him. He rented small office on
Francis street, and commenced the struggle
for success single-handed and alone. lie
has achieved grand triumph, in the face
of stubborn opposition on every hand, and
is to-day one Of the wealthiest men in our
midst. This fact alone is amply sufficient
to show the merits Of his invaluable prep
sration. even though there were no other
sources from which TO procure valid and
reliable testimony.
But besides the money which this great
medicine has been the means of bringing 10
the inventor, the doctor receives daily the
blessings of thousands Of patients restored
10 health and happiness through his instru-
men tality. These letters are open for in
spection at his office. and il requires two
clerks to attend TO this branch OF the busi-
ness.
DR.. Richmond is living example 10 be
initiated by all young men who have dis
position to reach eminence in the world by
in the use OF their own exertions,
and besides the enjoyment OF the prosper
ity which surrounds him, he has the salts
faction to be regarded a human benefactor.

TWO MEETINGS.

All, twas a glorious autumn night,
Full fifteen years ago,
The moon and Stars were shining bright,
Bathing the hills in mystic light,
when, robbed in garb of snowy white,
Ny Ethel met me in the hall,
Responsive to my pleading call.
Now, what did or what did she
The world shall never know;
Not cen the moon nor stars could See,
OF all the world most happy we;
oh, twas an hour OF ecStacy;
We pledged our loves and lives and all,
When Ethel met me in the hall.
Nh, well-we met again last night
Twas rather late, know;
somehow, didn't feel Just right,
II may have been little tight,
When. clad i'm nightly robe OF white,
MY Ethel met me in the hall
And braced me up against the wall.
Now, what did or what did she
I'm not prepared To show;
IL NAV suffice TO state that We
Had quite a little Jubilee
And may add ptwiXt you and me-,
II j. with pain that | recall
How Ethel met me in the hall

FEMININE FANClES.
AN ABSENT BRIDE.
ChIrI0g Infer Ocern.

An absent-minded young lady, hav-
ing been duly married, started off on
her bridal tour. The party stopped at
Western city. Some time in the night
there came a succession of terrified
shrieks from the room occupied, and
clerks, Porters, and employees generally
rushed up stairs, only to meet a frantic
female figure, clad in white, fleeing in
desperate haste from her apartment,
crying:
"Oh, there's man in my rOOmw
The clerk rushed in and found the
groom half disrobbed, standing in the
middle of the room, one boot on and
the other i'll his hand, the picture of
amazement. He explained that he had
Just come up stairs, and was in the act
of undressing (his wife had previously
retired, when she suddenly awoke with
a shrek and fled.
What was the NATTER" asked the
clerk.
"Damifino," said the husband.
Just then the bride, enveloped i'll
huge bedSpread, procured for her by
chambermaid, came back, looking very
red and foolish, and in half minute
she explained the mystery by s..ying:
"Oh, Fred, forgot / was married,
and when awoke Twas so frightened"
THE MEAN JOKE PLAYED oNrsAM
PRICE.
Sam Price, a wood lawyer, living in
Portland, Or, was enamored ola cham
bermaid in one of the hotels, but his
fondneSs was unreturned. He was,
however, allowed to continue his atten-
tons, and on every opportunity pressed
his suit. Recently an effeminate-look-
ing waiter, dressed in a neat young
lady's costume, received Price when he
came to pay his usual call to the cham
bermaid. In the partially lighted room
the wood lawyer did not detect the de-
ception, and, as usual, pressed his suit,
and 10 his great JOY was accepted. Price
wished TO consummate the nuptials
Immediately, and the bluShing maid in
his arms consented. An accomplice to
the plot was the Justice, and in cold
official way performed the ceremony.
The happy bride retired TO one of the
rooms Ofthe hotel, when the new wife
ran laughing into the hall, and the
Price, ashe stood in the door,
saw about forty boardeIs jeering him.
He was not allowed To intlict punish
ment on the author of the practical
joke.

Judge Black Before the Supreme Court

The following joke is related at the
EXPENSE of Judge Jerry Black while he
was arguing the McGarrahan case be-
fore the Supreme Court, i'll Washington,
some years ago:
One day. while speaking OH some mo-
ton, Black discovered, at the close of Il
two hours vratium, that the entire
bench, including the Chief Justice, was
sound asleep, Much incensed, he
gathered up his papers and left the
room. Meeting the Chief justice at a
dinner at Secretary Fish's that even
ing, Black angrily commented on the
occurrence.
"Why, my dear Judge" said Mr.:
Chase, with a surprised expression, II
thought you would be the last man on
earth to object to such a thing. The
fact was that all the Justices were so
fatigued from the Presidents reception
last night, that this morning we con-
suited together and agreed to hear you
on some motion or other, so that we
could all enjoy a good, square nap. We
supposed you had been on the bench
for so long that you'd know how it was
yourself"
"The devil you did," said the old,
flat-bOttomed legal luminary.
Eyes, but you needn't alarm yourself,
nv dear Black. The shorthand reporter
made full memorandum ofyour re-
marks"
"Did, eh?" snappedthe Judge. "Why,
he was asleep, too!'
1.-THE devil he was" exclaimed the
Chief Justice, much veXed. 81 always
did trust that elbow. In that case, my
dear Judge, we will hare to rely on the
jONitOT.

preached me. Her dress was an old
fashioned silk, such as had seen my
grandmother wear; her hands were in
caSed i'm mitts, Iuffled cap and anti
que-bonnet covered her head and she
carried a small reticule. "Will you
pleased give me 10 cents to get cup of
tea?" she asked. gave it, and with
polite "thank you" she passed on. Some
what curious followed and watched her.
Pretty soon she stopped another gentle
man, and / saw his hand thrust deep
into his pocket, coming forth with
coin; another soon executed the same
movement. Every one she encountered
fell victim, while if she had been poor
ly clad it is doubtful if the result of her
negotiations would ave been one-tenth

From this surplus there has been de-

1906. We understand that the million
dollars provided for in the scheme OF
organization of the company for the pur..
poses of betterment, viz, the laying OF
steel rails and equipment have been ap-,
piled as originally applied for, and that
the road now is laid with steel rails It's
entire distance save about ~ miles,
which will be put down the current
wear. In addition to this million dol
lars provided for betterments, the OLD
rails taken from the track have been
sold. netting about $350,000. This fund
has also been used for the purposes or
further betterments. Thus the road may
he considered in first-claSs condition.
In fact it is probably the best road in the
Southern States, and competent experts
have stated that it was second only IN
physical condition to that ofthe Pennsyt-
vania railroad.
The business the road is very salts
factory, and promises large increase
i'm the near future, as soon as the New
river railroad is opened to the coal
fields, which will be next September.
A large amount of coal and valuable
iron ores will Immediately furnish adj
ditional tonnage to both rods. The
saving in the cost of fuel alone to the
Norfolk and Western railroad upon the
opening of the New river branch, 1t Is
estimated, will be nearly 100000 per
annum. Thus, with the condition OF
the road, its business actually acquired
! and the prospective increase thereon,
there is no reason to doubt that the com.
pany will be able to continue paying 4
