"The Ruling Passion Strong

In one of the coast States there lived
two men of very dissimilar positions,
but whose similar taste In one thing
led them to ''meet together" on an oc.
casion long to be remembered by
many present. One was an eminent
Judge, and the other was the French
keeper of sailors loft. The judge
was holding court, and the loft-keeper
was an important witness in a case be-
fore him. The witness was called, but
he came pot. nor answered. 'Where
is Suson?" asked the judge, impatient
at the non-appearance of the witness.
He will not answer, your honor
replied the sheriff

The sheriff went to look for him, and
found the Frenchman a deeply inter.
ested spectator of a cock-tight then go
ing on in the village. Returning tC
the courtroom, he reported to the
Judge: "Your honor, Mr.. Suson is look.
ing at a chicken-fght, and says thai
all the judges in the State can't bring
him away"
Immediately change came over the
judges feelings and expression, and in
mild but earnest and clear heard
voice he asked, "Is it true, sheriff
that the cock-fight is now going on?'
1T is, your honor" replied the
sheriff.
"Well, gentlemen" said the Judge
addressing the jury and lawyers, 81

BENroN,s HAIR GROWER.

All who are BALD, all who are be,
coming BALD, all who do not want 10
be BALD, all who are troubled with
DANDRUFF, or ITCHING of the scalp,
should use Benton's Hair Grower
EIGHTY PER CENT. of those using it
have grown hair. 1t never fails to
stop the hair from falling. Through
sickness and fevers the hair sometimes
falls off in short time, and although
the person may have remained bald
for years, if you use Benton's Hair
Grower according to directions, you
are sure of a growth of hair. In hun.
dreds of cases we have produced good
growth of hair on persons who have
been bald and glazed for years. We
have fully substantiated the following
facts.
We grow hair in every case no mat
ter how long bald.
Unlike other preparations it ntains
no sugar of lead. or vegetable or min
eral poisons.
1t is specific for falling hair, dan.
druff, and itching of the scalp.
The Hair Grower is hair food, and
its composition is almost exactly like
the oil which supplies the hair with
its vitality.
If your druggists have not got it We
will send it prepaid on receiptOf price.

Got Rid of the Spirits.

At Tonona, H., stands house that
has long had the reputation of be-
ing haunted. The owner advertised it
for sale for 81, 100, and though it cost
more than three times the money no
one would buy it. This spring, how
ever, a Yankee came along and
bought the property for $500. He
moved his family into the house, and
soon after ghosts began to make their
presence manifest. He took his gun
and went hunting for the spooks. He
found them located in an empty house
near by, from which place they had
stretched string over to the Yankees
dwelling, where it was fastened to a
brickbat and dropped through some
lattice work, which could he slammed
vigorously when the string was pulled
He fired several shots at the "spirits'
and gave them lively chase for a long
distance. They have not annoyed him
since.
