A CLUTCH" DOCTOR.
Drop a Nickel in the Slot and Take a
Pill.

From the London telegraph.
If it be the case, as the medical world holds
with some reason. that the man who is his own
doctor has fool for patient, then a certain
Dutch apothecary is trying to make fools of
the whole human race. This much too ingeni-
Gus Hollander has turned his attention in the
direction of automatic machines, and has
evolved from his inner consciousness an inven-
ton which is likely to have the most appalling
results. That is to say. it would produce such
results if it were ever allowed to become q
grim and gruesome reality; but we confidently
look to the common sense of the United Neither
lands to nip it in the bud. Most automatic
machines. as everybody is aware, are shaped
like iron boxes. standing on pedcstals OF the
same metal or have the form OF square, squat
IRON towers. tapering at the top into two thin
pillars, which contain the required article or
dainty. Now. however. We are to be blessed

Imprisoned for Debt.


From the Chicago Mail
"a man who will imprison the father Of seven
children for debt of $50 ought to be prose-
cuted criminally and civilly," said Judge Tut
hill with great indignation this morning Asher
Lazarus, peddler, asked for his release from
Jail on a writ of habeas corpus. He was inn
prisoned by Finkelstein Bros, butchers, for a
debt of $50.
The petitioner presented most woe-begone
and wretched appearance as he took the stand
and testified that no demand was made on him
for schedule of his property before he was
thrown into Jail, as is required by law.
what was the debt for?" asked the Judge.
"Meat and whisky"
whisky from a butcherr' said the court,
rather staggered. "Wen, did you have any
property?'
Nothing but what my family and have on
our backs.n
How much of family have you?'
"A wife and seven children" replied Lazarus.
as the tears came to his eyes. The effort of
the man to repress his tears affected the Judge
Let the petitioner be discharged" he said in
thunder tones
If your honor please" said a lawyer who
stood beside Lazarus counsel
"Who are you?' asked the Judge roughly.
81 am the attorney for the creditors of this
man."
We'll, l want to hear nothing from you, sir.
The arrest of this man is an outrage No NAL
ice on his part is shown, and the man who will
imprison the father Of seven children for a
debt of $50 ought to be prosecuted criminally
and civilly." The creditors lawyer aid not
stay to face the Judicial storm, and as he
slipped away the court said: Il have had an
experience with that lawyer before in the
criminal court. My court cannot be employed
by such as he to perpetrate SO fragrant an in
justice"
The wife of Lazarus, Lazarus himself, and
i've OF his seven children went away weeping

Cleanliness a Modern Virtue.

FROM the Pail Mall Budget
The English upper classes are clean, but
cleanliness OF any high degree is very modern
virtue among them. 1t is an invention Of the
nineteenth century. Men and women
born at the close of the eighteenth century did
as French people do today; they took warm
bath occasionally for cleanliness and they took
shower baths when they were prescribed by
the physician for health, and they bathed in
summer seas for pleasure, but they did not wash
themselves all over every morning. However,
the new custom took deep root in England, be-
cause II became one Of the signs OF class. II
was adopted AZ one Of the habits of a gentle
man.

Some of Sam Jones' Recent Sayings.

Some of Sam Jones' Recent Sayings.
From the Lynchburg News.
God never called me to preach like other
men, nor other men to preach as DO, though
some have tried it and got badly left.
God Almighty made me just as am. and l
have never interfered with the job one par
ticle.
I'll promise you one thing: to tell tho truth
so it will stick to you like cockleburr to an
old sleeps WOOL It'll be there when you shear
him.
don't mean by an honest man one who pays
his debts. That's the meanest sort of honesty.
Any man of sense or decency will do that if lie
can.
Some church people, however, are afraid to
walk along some streets in Lynchburg for fear
of meeting a man they owe and won't paw.
They do business as agents and board with
their wives Ill order to successfully rob their
creditors
I'd go to the chain gang and stay there before
I'd ever write my name, Sam z. Jones, agent,
for my wife.
God Almighty never bestowed q greater
good game preacher who doesn't fear man or
devil
If anybody asks you TO take drink he thinks
you're hypocrite and if you take it he thinks
right.
I've more respect for faro dealer than a
progressive eucher player, because the faro
dealer plays for money to support his wife and
children with. while the progressive eucher
player plays for nothing but BOBBY prize, for
which he risks damnation.
The church member who rents his house for
saloon Is like the confederate who fought on
our side, but. ran powder mill for the Yam
KEGS. lie didn't kill any Yankees, but supplied
the powder with which they shot down thous-
ands of rebels. The preacher that will house
such member amt any better than he is
l wouldn't give ten cents to hear Ingersoll on
1.-The Mistakes OF Noses" but I'd give ten dol
lars to hear moses on the mistakes of Ingersoll.
