MY name is Max Mayer, sir, an unat-
tached satellite Of the press. I am travel
ing through your country engaged in work
OF philanthropy. But someti mes feel
thss am a poor phianthropist. / see and

X. P. railroad who riled me; yes riled me,
Sir. Excuse the vuglarism, but one can.
not stand everything"
What did the individual do to offend
you, Mr.. Mayer" sail the reporter.
He offended NE by existing. Did you
ever see a man who in his very person was
offensive? This man was one of them. He
walked and talked like one who was so
great that jim Blaine's 0vercoat wouldn't
make him a vest. He irritated me. I
wanted to kick him and would have done
so, if a gentlemen could stoop to such prac-
tees and not be soiled. He affected me az
a red rag does bull. Josh Billings once
swore in the extremity of his soul, 'durn a
fy.' felt like adding force to the humor-
lists expression and apply it to this man.
Although mere fly on the Corliss engir .
wheel, as it we're, he SWING on enough
self-importance to impress the casual OBJ
server that he was wheel, engine and all. I
admire downright solid merit and worth,
but detest, abominate and despise the cs-
tentatious swagger of Lilliputian substance.
Unfortunately there are too many of such
animals at large in our country. The fool
killer is not half doing his duty.
As soon as l la ded here availed my
self OF the we'll known principal of counter
irritant to sooth my blood. I bathea nv
temples in St. Jacobs Oil, sir, and here l
am all right and able to talk calmly. That
is wonderful substance, sir, mean the
Great German Remedy. It will cure rheu-
matism, sprain or bruise, and is unsur-
passed for burn. MI. F. Edgar Etter,
clerk at the Henry House. was telling ME
to-day that it is quite astonishing to note
the evidences Of popularity which crop out
in regard to this Oil. He says that guests
in the house frequently tell him it is the
best thing in the world for rheumatism.
sWellings from rheumatic pains, etc.
Scarcely day passes that some one stop
pins in the house fails to sing the praises
Of st. Jacobs Oil. There, sir, is evidence
OF genuine merit, and it soothes one to here
While in Mr.. G.. Northcraft's drug store
to-day I was told that gentleman named
Jones, who resides near this town, believes
that st. Jacobs Oil is possessed of merit
which entities it to rank as the first pain
annihilator of tue age. His daughter was
afflicted with rheumatism. All effort to
relieve her proved futile all remedies
failed The patient suffered everything
but death. Sho was finally cured by st.
Jocobs Oil, sir, and her father came to tell
the druggist of her wonderful restoration.
Then there is another case in your town
Sir, that Of Mrs. Mary A. Barnes, who has
long suffered with rheumatism. I think,
she lived through whole year without re-
lief, although she used remedies all the
time. Her druggist recommended st. ia
cobs Oil. The lady bought bottle of it
and has since been using it. She expert
enced wonderful relief, and claims that she
will soon be beyond all fear Of a return of
this awful malady."
