How shrewc Yankee Got q Dead
Mans Note Cashed.
For several years past the public has
heard of and known rather eccentric
lawyer by the name of Ezra Andrews.
who has been oscillating between the
professions Of lawyer and pedagogue.
says the Pittsfield .(Mass.) Advertiser.
At the time of this incident Ezra
was an inhabitant of the town of
Burnham. q practicing lawyer. Finding
himself out of business, and being q
little short of lucre. he perambulated
among the business men to get bill
to collect. r. Gilmore. one OF the
principal merchants of the town, held
a note against an old man whose home
was in the little town of Canaan, which
was outlawed.
He offered Lawyer Andrews half
interest in the debt if he would make
n trip over to Canaan and by hook or
crook get the note renewed, which was
accepted; and. as teams cost money.
our hero concluded to go afoot SO he
wended his way one pleasant June

home, distance of five miles lmag-

ter's countenance when he learned tho
fact that the old gentleman had been

Shortly. starting up from his reverie.
he borrowed pen and ink and went
to the cemetery, which was not far
distant. Here he traced out the last
resting.p place of the victim who had
l escaped his insolence by passing in
sleeping his last sleep. This arm of the

in small letters almost unintelligible,
he wrote. "by Ezra Andrews" Then
casting furtive glance back at the
weird spot, he took the home stretch
for Burnham.
As he passed the Office of a WE'LL
known speculator. he entered and ac-
costed him with the common assurance
of the legal profession that he was
short and lad note TO sell that he
would stand shave on. The latter
part of the sentence was distinctly un-
derstood by Libby. who asked to see
the document which was shown him.
He remarked that he did not know
the party signing the note; but after
Ezra explained that the old gentleman
owned and had a sure title to his real
estate and owned the personal proper
ty he had around him. and did not owe
one dollar in the world, the note was
discounted at fifty cents on the.dollar.
Later on, when Libby heard the facts.
Andrews was called up. and said his
statement was correct The little spot

tate; his winding sheet and coffin his
personal property; death had discharg-

stimuIants Between Meals.

Although all persons who indulge in
alcoholic stimulants well within the
margin of actual drunkedness speak
Of themselves as moderate drinkers.
there are. says the Popular Science
Monthly. two special classes of them
which bear no resemblance to each
other. except in the one solitary circum-
stance that they never at any time take
sufficient TO intoxicate themselves. The
one class is that which only partakes of
stimulants while eating; the other in
iulges in them between meal times.
To the latter habit is applied in this
country the title of ':nipping." while
in the East it is spoken of as "pegg-
ing" And this is the most perniciOus
of all forms of drinking. from the fact
that stimulants taken without at the
same time partaking of food, though
only imbided in small quantities at a
time. have most deleterious effects ON
tile internal organs. A man who habit
ually INDUCES in single glass Of
sherry in the forenoon, brandy and
soda in the afternoon and glass Of
whisky and water in the course OF the
evening does far more injury to his con-
stitution than one who partakes of q
larger quantity Of alcoholic stumulants
at meal times.

Floods at Wheeling,

WHEELING, July ia terrific rain
storm prevailed this evening, flooding eel.
lars and distributing debris from the hill
sides on many thoroughfares, rendering
them impossible. Particulars of the flood
show that 1t is simply appalling and every
thing Is In such a chaotic condition that dc.
tails must be late.
AT $3.50 O'Clock The Baltimore & Ohio
wood en- bridge at Main street was swept
away with from twenty-five to thirty people
on 1t. Ofthese ten are known to have been
saved. Several Of the rescued are on a
towboat, which could not land at the whar
owing to the current, but had to seek
landing lower down. The river rose three
feet in fifty minutes. Out on the National
road, trains, coalchutes, houses and all are
gone.
Nine persons living on Caldwe,fs Run
are known to be drowned. and six houses
on Caidwell's Run are gone. The list will
doubtless be increased. The loss In this
city will reach $4,000, and. the damage to
crops in the country Is inestimable. The
ruin wrought by cloud-burst out of town
is awful and can only be ascertained
definitely when means of communication
are restOred

the II. II. Warner line in America. H. II.
warner was born In Van Buren,, Onondaga
Co, N. Y, Jan. 10Th, 1912. After an cduca-
tion at DR.. WrIght's Academy at Eibridrc,
and acquiring the tlpsmith's trade ut Mem
phis, N. y, he went west for five years. In
1870 he returned 70 Rochester as General
Agent OF the Mosler Safes of Cincinnati, o.,
and for ten years was the most successful safe
dealer In the country, and amassed a fortune.
In 1879 he was prostrated by a severe dis
ease. The best physicians gave him no hope
OF recovery. 1t was at this time that he used
what fs now known as Warmers safe cure and
was fully restored TO health thereby. Real
ixing that the world needed such a specific
for kidney disease, he made vow when sick
that II 1t cured him he would spend his DAYS
proclaiminE Its merits to the world. On his
recovery he began at once its manufacture,
and to-day there are seven laboratories n nd
the branch houses In seven different quarters
OF the globe. In 1888, the Warner Astrono-
mical Observatory erected and endowed by
Mr.. Warner, was completed at an estimated
expense Of $4,000. 1t is located on East
Avenue, and 10 the hnest private Astronomi-
cal Observatory In the world. The telescope
cost &l3, 900 Since 1879, astronomical prizes
to the extent Of 5000 have been awarded by
Mr.. Warner for scientific discovery. In 1889
he was elected a member Of the American
Association for the Advancement OF Science,
In 1886 II. II. Warner ds Co., put Warmers
Sale Yeast upon tho market, and In 1887
Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, designed to
reach diseases for which Warmers Safe Rene
dies are not specifies.
The Safe Remedies building on N. St. Paul
St, with its four aud quarter acres Of floor
ing Is one OF the most imposing structures of
the kind in the world. In 1881 II. H. Warner
was unanimously elected President OF the
