ceit. The other day he received sum
mons to call on a young woman famed for
her beauty. She was a new patient for

unusual conquest Reaching the house, he
was shown into the reception room, where,
moment later, he was Joined by the beau

"Oh, am not i'll at all, /" cried the girl.
''Some other member of the family"
asked the doctor, rather disappointed.
WELL" said the young lady, 1--WE call
him one OF the family. You see 1t is my
little fox terrier, Dixie. He has bone in
his throat and thought you might be able
to remove it,"
With freezing dignity the doctor got out

afterwa.d to friend, "and he did so in o
very insulting way. l was told of it, and
decided to give him an opportunity to form
my acquaintance" = Clara Bellies New

Chairman Lacy, of the Brecken-
ridge Clayton Investigation commit
tee, says If Lawyer Armstrong had
drawn a pistol when struck by Judge
Mcclure, during the investigation at
Little Rock, che would undoubtedly
have been shot Immediately by the
United States marshal who stood in
his rear prepared for emergencies"
This shows how the Clayton-Mc-
Clure cut-throats browbeat and
domineer the people of Arkansas.
They were prepared for emergen-
gencies." They were determined to
Islander and disgrace the law-abiding
citizens, and II any man resented
any insult offered they had a mar
shall ready to shoot him down, while
Clayton himself was to take hand
and did "reach for his pistol" Lacy,
however, thinks this was all right
and will no doubt make report JUS
tifying the scoundrels.

you askS" Because" replied the cigar

that cigar you are doing the worst thing
possible I'll explain. In making cheap
cigars a good enough wrapper is used-as
good often as on the finer grades. Havana

light weed raised in the northern states,
and of grade similar to dried cabbage, is
inserted. In smoking the five cent cigar
all the smoke, of course, passes through

cigar and cut off the mouth end, light 1t

Statesman John j. Ingalls,, who
has held his seat in the United
States Senate for eighteen years by
his ranting oratory and waving the
bloody shirt, has finally como to
grief I'm two instances. He has been
detected and exposed in plagiarism.
His beautiful top-lofty Grafton over
the late Congressman Jas. M. Burnes
was mostly stolen from sermon by
the great French priest, Massillon.
Moreover, the farmers of Kansas
have discovered that while waving
that sanguinary garment for their en-
tertainment, he was plastering their
farms over with mortgages, through
the Southern Kansas Mortgage Co.,
of which he is prominent director.

The Virtues of the Onion.

II / should be asked what was the best
substitute for quinine should say onions.
Time and again the sleep producing vir-
tues of the loud smelling onion have been
sung, but comparatively few know how
valuable 1t is as a cure for chills and ague.
Several customers explain their boycott ON
quinine by saying onions are cheaper and
quite as effective, and one man in particu-
lar, who has been a martyr to malaria for
years, has been another being since he &C
quired the habit Of chewing onion peel.
The onion is used frequently to cure rheu-
matism with varying success, but | never
heard Of its failing when persevered In as a
cure for malaria or chill Exchange.

The Old Apple woman n the Cap,to,,


There are lunch stands In many parts OF
the corridors presided over by women, and
the little old apple woman who sits in the
window recess near the main door OF the
house has many customers. She Is very
poor woman, and her face bears the lines OF
hardship. Promptly at the opening of the
house every day she squats down here on the
floor with her apples, her basket beside her,
and peddles them out at the rate Of three for
five cents to all Corners. Many Of the leading
congressman are great apple eaters, and she
often sells to Tom Reed, Ben Butterworth and
Joe Cannon. The lunch stand at the side of
Statuary hall Is largely patronized by the
newspaper correspondents, ard you may see
congressman and journalist buying of this old
lady here. Her stock consists Of sandwiches
and pie, and she furnishes the best Of milk to
wash down the solids. Miss Grundy, Jr.

Jones, of Nevada, made the opening

quarter upon the bill. His speech
throughout was a comprehensive
and convincing argument for the
adoption of silver as the standard
metal for coinage and of which all
our money should be coined, as well
on account of the precious abundance
of the metal as for the firm stability
of its character, Notwithstanding in
a great measure the numerous fiuc-
