A Device.

Mrs. Irene Gillette, of Buncombe, Wis,
was tormented by the mare she usually
drove switching her tail over the lines,
and, although she never kicked nor run,
she would stop short and look back as if
to say:-"What will you do now?" 1t got
to be a great nuisance, as it happened
every few minutes, and it seemed as if
ing on the lines. All that could be done
was to lean over the dashboard and lift
the tail off, thus adjusting the difficulty.
1t occurred to the lady that by fastening
a small iron hook IN the lower edge of the
dashboard, If a phaetop, or u lower corner
of a buggy-box or wagon. and by passing
the line, when caught, under this hook
and pulling it slightly, it would at once
draw the line from behind the tail, as the
hook is SO much lower than the line when
caught. She had a blacksmith make her
a pain Zone for each side), and it proved
such a success that the animal. which
troubled her SO much, has given up
twitching her tail over the line. Mrs. Gill
lette has applied for a patent. She has
had hooks made of malleable iron, and
when they come into general use they will
no doubt prevent many runaways and
smash-ups as well as a great deal of pro-
fanity.-Gdlend Gazette.
Somewhat Unfortunate.
A young woman of Bukowina was very
beautiful, and all the young men who
were in the district fell in love with her.
She had a hundred offers of marriage be-
fore she was twenty, and before she ac-
cepted the 101st. Then her troubles be-
gan. Her first fiancee died suddenly from
an accident; the second was taken away
with the army, likewise the third and
fourth; the fifth and sixth were drowned;
the seventh and eighth broke off on learn
ing of the smallness of her fortune; the
ninth got drunk on his betrothal day and
tried to beat the young woman. so she
broke it off; the tenth seemed promising in
| every way, but as the marriage was about

wife and children in B~essarabia. The
wedding was fixed for the eleventh, bur
| he decamped for some unknown reason,
and thereupon the young woman gave it
up and poisoned herself.

Busy Women.

Does anybody know of a woman who
has any leisure time? If so, let her be
brought forward, for she would be a rare
curiosity. Formerly it was the old peo-
pie who complained of the rapid flight of
time, but o the cry comes from young
as we'll as old, and from the so-called wo-
man of leisure as well as the working
woman
"Why nave you not been to see me?n
asks Mrs. A. of Mrs. B, whom
she meets on the street.
"Oh, don't ask mel / haven't had a mo-
ment's time, " Mrs. B. replies.
Mrs. b writes to Mrs. c. after
long silence:-"I've been trying for weeks
to get time to answer your letter, and
haven't been able to do So" Now you
would certainly suppose that Mrs. b
had a large family to look after and did
her own work. Not at all; she has only
a husband and she keeps one servant. 1t
really makes no difference whether there
is one servant or half a dozen, or none at
all, the cry is the same, and II there hap
| pens to be a baby-words fail here. A
baby is like charity, it covers a multitude
| of sins of omission. A woman with a
baby must be excused from everything;
| nothing whatever but the care of the
baby can be expected from her. 1t
takes the whole household aud a nursery
maid besides to engineer one baby
through it's first two or three years, so we
say nothing more about the woman with
a baby.
But how about the woman who boards
and has only herself and husband to look
after? Why, the mere care of the two
rooms they nave is enough to occupy q
great deal of time; add the sewing to
that, and who car expect the woman
| who boards TO have any ieasure momentss

The v.nserbslt system of Railways


Few persons have any conception OF the

it is located: but If you VIII take q map ano

"Bee Line" and "Big Four'') railroads,
you will be impressed with the wonderful
foresight of the men who designed and ex-
ecuted the plan to operate under a uniform
policy, and practically common control a
system of railways that should furnish unsur-
passed transportation facilities to the great
commercial empire outlined above, and
q trip over this grand aggregation WILL
convince the most skeptical that the ' an

the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad is the main stem. traverses

Confidence Becot OF Success.

So confident are the manufacturers of that
world famed remedy, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. that it will do all that
they represent, in the cure of liver, blood
and lun e diseases, that, after witnessing its
thousands of cures for many years past,
they now feel warranted in selling it las
they are doing, through druggists) under a
positive guarantee of its giving satisfaction
in every case, or money paid for it will be
refunded. No medicine of ordinary merit
could be sold under such severe conditions
with profit to its proprietors, and no other
medicine for the diseases for which it is
recommended was ever before sold under a
guarantee of cure or no pay: In all blood
taints and impurities of whatever name or
nature, it is most positive in its curative eff
fects. Pimples, blotches. eruptions and all
skin and scalp diseases are radically cured
by this wonderful medicine. Scrofulous
diseases may affect the glands, causing
swellings or tumors; the bones, causing
t'fever-sores, - ''white swellings'' or chip,
joint disease:'' or the tissues of the lungs,
causing pulmonary consumption. No mat
ter in which one Of it's myriad forms it crops
ont, or manlfests itself, Golden Medical
Discovery will cure it if used perseveringly
and in time.

FINANCIAL CONUNDRUM.

one That Has Done More Than Ilelirium
to Send Men to the Grave.
Once there was a man who had mis-
fortune. The further he went the
worse he Jared. When he struck Ell
Paso he had just one round white sill
yer dollar left to his name and he
went and bought a drink with it.
The barkeeper took his American
dollar and handed him Il Mexican dol
lar in change. A Mexican dollar at
that time was worth only eighty-fve
cents in United States money. There
were rumors of trouble between the
two Republics, growing out of Indian
raids and the pursuit of the robbers
from one country into the other. A
Mexican dollar was only worth eighty
five cents in Texas, and the United
States dollar was worth but eighty
five cents in Mexico 1t was early in
the morning. He had nothing to do
with the rest of the day, or with the
rest of his life for that matter. The
Mexican eagle on his last remaining
coin suggested something to his des-
perate fancy, and he wandered across
to Ell Paso del Norte. on the Mexican
side. He bought drink of mescal
there for fifteen cents, laid down his
Mexican dollar and received an Amer
lean dollar in change. equivalent to
eiphty-five cents in Mexican money.
He looked ut the coin and an idea
struck him. 1t appealed to his specu-
lative humOr.
He retraced his steps to the Amer
lean side, walked into a saloon. called
for drink of whisky. paid for it with
his solitary American dollar, which he
had received in change on the other
sale and got a Mexican dollar in
change. This he promptly carried over
the line, bought drink of mescal and
got a United States dollar in change.
Then he got to thinking. Here was
the situation. He had precisely the
same capital he started with an hour
before, and had distributed sixty
cents worth of liquor through his
system in the way of dividends. The
whisky and mescal were gone. They
were no further use to any body. The
visible supply of exhilerating beverage
had been absolutely diminished to that
extent. He had bought it at the
market price. He had paid for it in

still in his pocket True. he had con-
tributed the labor OF walking back
and forth from tide Mexican to the
Texan side, and vice versa, but that,
as he shrewdly decided. was nom
productive labor. SO far as the inter-
ests of the public was concerned. 1t
earned nothing. for it added nothing
to the supply of any thing. He might
have walked back and forth until the
river run dry without any body being

He kept it up all day. He picked up
stick and cut a notch in it for every
drink. as the old Indian fighters used
to keep score of the scalps they took.
He kept it up pretty steadily all that
day until closing-up time. and set at it
again the next day as soon as he could
see. He waxed enthusiastic over his
speculation, giving a war-whoop at
every notch in the stick.

who was losing all this money. APP

were getting the market rate for their

more the subject in question became

The Modern Article Is Far Superior to the
Old-Style Bracelets.
There is quite a variety in hand
cuffs" he continued, as he opened a
large showcase, where in polished
these bracelets glittered. 1.-The old
old-style Handwriting was poor thing
at best and where the prisoners hands
were small and easily compressed into
the same size as the wrist. there was
little trouble in getting out of them.
The modern cuff is made to fit any
wrist, the steel bow passing through
the lock being ratchet. allowing the
cuff to be closed as tight as desired,
but loosened only when unlocked
do prisoners get out of these hand
cuffs?"
well, very seldom. An old time
expert if left alone with one hand may
pick the lock on the cuff of the other.
Here is form of cuff to prevent this.
You see between the cuffs instead of
the ordinary link is a steel bar about
twelve inches long which effectually
keeps the hands apart Some time
ago getting out of handouts was q
common manifestation with so-called
spiritual mediums. The trick was
done by introducing a piece of quill
shaved down fine between the rachel
and bolt. By striking number of
blows with the steel bow of the cuff
against some hard substance, the bolt
is made to jump the rachets sufficient
ly to free the hands. This, however,
we have got over by means of a double
lock which is warranted to defy the
efforts of the spiritual friends Of
Madame Diss de Bar herself. There
is another variety of handcuff where
there are three cuffs instead of two.
They are mainly used by sheriffs in
transporting prisoners by rail, the
third cuff being fastened to the arm OF
the car seat. Sometimes three prison
ers are shackled together with them,
when they are in such an awkward
position that running away becomes
an impossibility, as they would tumble
over each other."-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
