 Albany Argus.

A Millionaire--But, Oh, So Homely
 Albany Argus.
 The homeliest man in the United States was in the Capitol yesterday, and all the clocks stopped at once. His name is Melville Demon. he halls from Dakota, is worth $5,00o,000 in cold cash, has over 100000 cattle on his ranches, and owns SO much land out in that territory that he does not know how much it is worth or how many acres there are. To look at him you would size him up as being worth just ten-cent plugged dime. He is travelling for his health and to see if he cannot better his homely looks. State Senator Erwin would be an Apollo alongside of MT. Demon for beauty. "I know am not good look ing" he said, with a smile that started all the clocks again, "but do you know my homely looks saved my life once? How? We'll, when first set- tied out in Dakota the highways were filled with desperate road agents who were ready for murder and robbery at any moment. l had considerable dust with me when I started out prospect ing tor land.
 "I had been on the road for about three days, riding a white horse and looking about me. Fortune favored mo, for had not run across any of the road agents until about sundown of the fourth day, when saw ahead of me several suspicious looking custom CTS. They gradually approached me and when about twenty i've feet away suddenly halted. They were all agents, on horseback. They whispered for a few moments among themselves with frightened looks, and then the leader shouted: Great Scott! boys, it's the devil on horseback. Let's git,' and of they flew, as if old Nick himself was really after them"
 MT. Demon is rather proud of his homely looks, because it makes him an object of attraction. He has fiery red hair and an extraordinarily large head, but his looks are indescribable In addition to his pleasure trip east he is looking for wife also, and went down to New York city yesterday to see if he could find one who will share his $5 900 ,000 and lands with him. He was told he had better stop right here in Albany for day or two, and he promised to come back if he could not find a wife in New York.

 Exactly, your majesty"
 "And who is her husband?"
 "A German professor, your maj esty, whose name I don't remember" 1"
 The king glanced once at the occu- pants of the balcony, and then sank into a reverie. Every incident ot that island visit now came back to him, clearly as if of yesterday. And, look ing back on the intervening years, he wished that he had done as he said abdicated for the sake of the beautiful Ermengarde, and let love be lord of all. "Yes, life can be dull, unsatisfac- tory, hardly worth living for, even to king," he thought. "I was forced into a marriage against my will. What is man good for after that?"
 "I don't think much of your king, mammal" cried the eldest girl, the little thirteen-year-old Ermengarde, tO ACE G&CtASE. Ou nRAiu il0 was eO bright and handsome. He looks half asleep, as if he took no interest in any thing"
 "And he saw you, mamma" said the second child. "He ought to have stopped and spoken to you, since he knew you on your island"
 Thus the children prattled on, and Ermengarde let them say what they would. She had never been dissatis- fled with her lot, and had never given way to vain retrospection. But, like her lover, she forgot nothing. Oft- times in her dreaming hours she was the rose- weaver talking gayly to the kings messenger. Her husband was worthy of her; she adored her chill dren; but romance for her had ended on certain summer day, fifteen years before.-AU the Fear Round.

A Hint to Puny People.

From their arrival on this planet to their usually early departure from it, people of weak constitutions and an- gular physiques pass a sort of half existence. Like dormice they bur- row in their home retreats, afraid oi heat, afraid of cold, constantly afraid that the shadow of the dread reaper will mstcr;a!ize and exact the forfeit which he demands from all, sooner or later. No finer medicinal assurance oi com parative vigor for the feeble ex- ists than that afforded by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Used with persist ence-not with spurts and spasms- this genial and professionally com n,ended tonic will do much toward infusing strength into puny system and rounding of scrawny angles il the human figure. Appetite, nervs tranquility and nightly repose are en- couraged by it, and malarial, rheu- matic, bilious tendency overcome. Ii re-establishes digestion and prevent kidney troubles.
