Nose Had q Weak Point.

One of those good, old-fashioned faith
ers-born and reared on farm, but
willing to see his children live an easier
life, came down to "York" the other day
to see about getting his son Moses into a
bank. He went to a friend, and the
friend sent him to the cashier, and the
cashier said:
''Is your son quick at igures?"
'sTolerably quick"
s'Is he ambitious?"
Eyes; he wants to get on"
''Is he q hard worker?"
"Well, Moses can NOV his three acres
of grass per day."
''Why does he prefer bank to 8
store?"
81 swami never asked bim why, but
guess it's because he thinks there's q
better chance to climb up. Moses is
right on the climb"
''He is perfectly honest, of course?"
"Well, now, that's the only weak point
Moses has got, and was going to say to
you if you took him in that if you keep a

A Diamond Story.

Colored diamonds are supposed to be
manufactured nowadays for the unwary,
but heard of new dodge last week.
A photographer who has had consider
able experience in expert detective cases
said to me I'VE have new use for
photography-thet test of precious stones.
The business began in this way: One
day last week diamond expert with
quite q reputation in the business was
asked by stranger to buy a remarkably
fine diamond. Eight thousand dollars
was asked for il. The expert tested it in
every manner known to the business and
examined it carefully with glass. It
was magnificent stone, of superb color
and shape. He offered $1,000, and he
took the money and went away. A day
or two after that the stone was shown as
O great bargain to some other experts,
one of whom, after examining it closely
for long time, declared that there was
something very peculiar about the way
in which the light went through the
stone. The owner was advised to take it
to me and have it tested by ray of sun

brought to my studio with several other
diamonds, and as one diamond would

French diplomacy had reckoned upon
alliances with Italy, with Austria, with
Russia perhaps, but more than all upon
che neutrality of the two German king
and Wurtemberg. NoEe
of these hopes were fulfilled. The Ger
man people stood together with an en-
thusiasm almost unprecented. One

Prussian King, directing the eager
masses of combatants, and his son was
selected to lead the corps from South
Germany, together with due propos-

the members of the star route ring have

A GENUINE WHlp SNAKE.-Mr. D. B.
Taylor, of Prineville township. killed Q
genuine whip-snake on rhe plantation of
Mr.. Joe Weeks, Tuesday. The snake
was first seen coming across the field
with his head erect some ten inches from
ground, and as he came near the wagon,
in which were seated Mr.. Taylor and
some boys, he lashed his tail against the
wheel. making every effort to reach
those in the wagon. The cracking of
his tail prodnced loud noise similar to
a large horse whip striking very rapidly
and with much force. Mr.. Taylor pro-
cnred rock, and hitting the snake
stunned him, when one of the boys ran
up and cut his head off. One half of the
snake was black, and of uniform size
suggesting the handle of whip: the
other half was smaller and of lighter
color, with dark marks which resem bled
the plating of large whip lash. The
snake was six feet long and a fine speci-

Remarkable Escapes

John Kuhn, of Lafayette, Ind, had a very narrow escape from death. Ihls is hIs owu story: ''One year ago ] was III the last stages of Consumption. Our best physicians gave my case up. finally got so low that our doctor said l could not live twenty-four hours. My friends then purchased me bottle of Dr. Wm Halls Balsam for the Lungs, which bene- fitted me. 1 continued until 1 took nine bottles. I am now il perfect Il, alth. hay ing used DO other medicine"
 Dr. NJ. H. Hinsdale, Kenawee, Ill reports another remarkable case: "A neighbours wife was attacked witE violent lung disease. and beyond help from Quick Consumption. As last resort, the iami. lv were persuaded to try DR. WM. HALLS BALsAM FOR THE LUN,->. To the as- tonishm ent of all, by the time she had used six bottles she was able to do her own work 1 had no idea she could re- cover"
 P. J. Duesler, of Clay N. Y. gives account of hls escape from the same dis ease: "I was attacksd with a severe cough which gradually wore OF until l found l was going into QUICK CONSUM PSION, and some one advised me to try your DK VIM. HALLS BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS which dId, and by the use of two bottles was cured of my cough and regalned my health entirely"
 From the above it is plainly evident that there is cure for consumption, even in the most hopeles cases. and that cure is DR. WI. ALL'S BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS. Cures all coughs and colds.

Paris correspondents of Ame- rican newspapers have much to say just now about pr. Clemen- ceau, who it is supposed, will step into Gambetta's shoes as the Republican leader. It is related that he once taught school in Connecticut, and during his stay in this country became thor Oughly familiar with our govern mental system. This knowledge has served him we'll in his poli- tical career. Clemenceau is an unyieldIng Radical. Unlike Gambetta, he is strongly opposed to standardization. Candid. out spoken, with nothing of the de- magogue about him, as an orator he impresses his auditors with the conviction that they are lis teDing to a man who is i'll earnest and who has something to say. Eloquence is not one of his gifts. He is abrupt, and goes straight to the point. In appearance he is short, compactly built, with the round fighting head so fre- quentIy found among the Bre- tons. The eyes are deep-set, eoaI-black and full of pearcing intelligence.

The Phoenix Gazette is growl- ing because the late legislature failed to built an insane asylum at that place. Maricopa county has it's own representative, Le- mon, to thank for the failure of the project. A bill to that effect could easily have been passed by the legislature. Had the joint councilman from Maricopa and Gila counties paid less attention to the interests of the peniten- tiaiy ring, and to cinching She riff Orme, and devoted more time to his constituents, Phoenix would have been much better off.

The Modesto papers are in a bad way over an article which appeared in the SENTINEL a shOrt-time ago, in regard to one s. P. Davis, of that place. What we said then was the truth but not the whole truth. We tell little more of it to-day, and can prove all of our assertions. As long as providence permits the earth to be disgraced by such a coward, just so long will the SENTINEL endeavor to make life attractive for him.
