A few months ago an Englishman
ambled into a Jewel RS sore in Lam
pasas, Texas, when the following con
versation ensucd:
q Ave you GOT h'any coed, hold Hen
glish tjme-pieces in the nature Of
clocks ?" asked the Englishman.
We have nothing but American
made clocks" replied the jeweler.
"They are by far the best, and of SUI
perior workmanship"
"Ho, no; you are mistaken. If I
cawnt get me Henglish clock | must
send hover to Hengland and ave me
own family piece sent hover by steam
er, you know"
The jeweler said very well, and the
Englishman went home and wrote for
his marvellous family time piece. In
due course of time it arrived, and as
the Englishman was conveying it up
from the express Office he dropped in
to the jewelers. to exhibit it.
Aw, now" he said, with his face
wreathed i'll smiles, "look hat this for
minute. 'Ere's a time-piece which
has been i'll our family many a wear,
and has always kept perfect time.
Look hand see hif you don't consider
hit superior to American clocks.
The jeweler examined the exterior Of
the clock, and then opened it. Brush
ing the dust from a dimlv printed
label in the back, he revealed to the
astonished Briton the following label:

any such effect is in L atty pr, due d.
When ingestad during meals, water may
do good by washing ont the digested

Pepsin is a catalyptic body. and q

How Ben Butler Made 81. 500.

There was bow in Lowell, the son
of poor man, who was run over Ly
railroad train. 30 Ii legs had to be
amputated clio up to the hip. The
company told his father they would
give him 81 900 or the boy Il practical
education. The father accepted tie
latter alternative, and the railroad com
pany made telegraph operator OF the
crippled boy. When he became of age
he found he was not getting as good
pay as other operators He wrote to
General Butler and asked if anything
could be done. Gen raj Butler sent
for the boy. The whole story was gone
over
I'll take your case" said the noted
lawyer, Then he sent for the solicitor
of the railroad company. When the
solicitor arrived at the Generals office
the legless boy was in a chair on the
top of long table General Butler
explained that he proposed to begin
suit for the boy to get damages.
But, " said the solicitor. we agreed
with his father to give HIM tactical
education. We made a telegrapher
out of him, and there is no law for get
ting any further damages"
You can't tell me anything about
the law, was General Buffers reply:
"but how much damages do you think
that boy would get if he sat on table
like that before a jury"
The railroad lawyer caught the point
at once. Il do not know" he said.
How much do you think he would
get?'
"Alout $4,000" replied General
Butler.
"I'll compromise with YOU hur-
riedly returned the lawyer, and by his
shrewd stage effect General Butler got
over 81, 800 o. the 10y without going
into trial The lawyer knew Butler
could make it cost the company that
much as well as a good deal of trouble,
and he was glad enough to compro-

end is not yet Up 10 Jan. 13 presents TO
