Put a Brand on Him.

"Women are a necessary evil" he said,
bringing down his fist hard on the counter
to emphasize the heartless remark. 1t was
IN the village store at West Milton, Sarato
ga County, and the speaker was the central
figure of a group of bucholic philosophers.
He was homely, slevenly and sixty.
There's where I differ from you alto
gether," said Mr.. George T. Graham, of
the same place. "Women are mostly what
men make 'em. When husbands are brutes
wives will fall into submission or make
home hot for the men; and they're unnatur-
al in either character. Love them, and es-
peclally be good to them when they
sick, and you'll have no trouble. There's
my own wife, now. She's suffered good
deal with dyspepsia, nervous prostration
and other ailments that took the bloom off
her cheeks aud the spring out of her steps.
Well, she saw an advertisement of PARK
ERs Tonic, and thought it would be just
the thing for her case. Gentlemen, l sent
five miles after bottle. She took it. |
sent again after more. SO several times.
Troubled Why, If you could see how much
good it has done her you would say that
women are the greatest of Gods blessings,
and PARKER's Tonic is the next"
This preparation, which has been known
as PARKERs GINGER Tonic, will hereafter
be called simply PARKERs Tonic. This
change has been rendered necessary by SUBJ
stitutes imposed upon their customers by
unprncpled dealers, under the name of
ginger; and as ginger is really an unimport-
ant favoring ingredient, we drop the mis-
leading word.
There is no change, however, in the prep
aration itself, aud all bottles remaining in
the hands of dealers, wrapped under the
name of PARKER's GINGER Tonic contain
the genuine medicine if the fac simie sig
nature of HIsCox & Co. is at the bottom of
the outside wrapper.

The Grocer Who Caved.

There was, up to year or two ago,
man in the grocery business in one OF
the villages of Western Michigan who
was famous for his hatred of drum
mers. Travellers for Chicago, Detroit
and other houses were ordered out of
his store in the toughest manner, and
several were assisted to leave in style
more hurried than graceful. The boys,
however, rather enjoyed it, and a sort
of ring was formed among them with
solemn agreement to keep calling on
the grocer until he gave some one an
order.
On day, eight or ten months ago, an
agent for Detroit house entered the
grocery prepared for the worst, but
what was his amazement to be received
with a smile of welcome. This was
followed by kind words, and later on
by an order for about $500 worth OF
goods. The agent was SO elated that
he telegraphed the news home and to
several of his acquaintances, and it
was week before he recovered his
equilibrium of spirits.
"And did he continue to buy of your
house ?" asked one who had listened to
the drummers story.
well, no.
"Why not ?"
Because, within ten days after he
got our goods he failed and couldn't
pay five cents on the dollar. y Detroit

hat q "COrner" Is.

The "bear element in the market
are all those VINO think that prices of
securities are higher than they ought
to be, higher than they can permanent
ly remain. In order to take advantage
OF the unwarranted "intlation of val
uos, +" they borrow stocks and sell them
at the high prices prevailing, expect
ing to be able to buy them in at lower
prices before it becomes necessary to
return the borrowed securities. When
the bears have discovered weak spot
in the market-that is, security sell
ing for more than it is worth in their
opinion-they borrow and sell it liber-
ally. Their selling has the same effect
in putting down the price as though
the stock were absolutely their own,
and the expectation is that other hold
ers, observing decline in price, will
become alarmed and sell also, thus
putting down the price still more and
frightening still other holders. They
intend, OF course, to buy enough at the
lower scale Of quotations to deliver
back what they have borrowed, pocket
ing the difference. 1t sometime hap
pens that few persons, discovering
what the bears are about, and believ-
ing that they (the bears) are strong
enough to stand heavy loss without
breaking, quietly buy up all of par
ticular stock that exists In order that
the price may not be forced up while
they are themselves buying, they lend
stock freely to the bears, and thus en-
courage the latter to sell. When they
have secured all, or nearly all, of the
particular stock that exists, they call
in their loans. The bears are then COM
PEELED to buy, and since no stock, or
very little is for sale, the price can be
forced up to any figure at which the
cornerng party chooses to put it. The
"shorts must come up and settle on
such terms as may be dictated to them.
The last resort is to leave the corner
ing party saddled with the whole issue
of stock in question. Whether they make
or lose by the operation will depend
upon whether they can extort from the
bears more than enough to compensate
them for the loss they may incur in re-
selling the stock TO the general public.
Most commonly the cornering party,
as well as the cornered, lose money,
which has been gained meanwhile by
the multitude, who have taken advant-
age of the high prices to sell out For
this reason corners have latterly been
of rare occurrence.
