Chicago to report the last Republl :

Pay Him OFF.

Not long since party of young
men were sitting by the stove in
Banks & McQueens store, roasting
their shins, telling yarns, discuss.
ing the prospects for hard winter
and the present political outlook.
Some one in the crowd brought up
the tariff question, and this led to
general discussion of the merits
of the Mckinley bill. The argu-
ment had become quite heated be-
tween some Of the more partisan,
when an old farmer from Basket

do some trading, and who had for
the past hour been sitting behind

A Peculiar Talisman.

A bright young comic opera singer
of New York was repacking her
trunks at one of the city hotels when
she sized upon an ordinary piece OF
clothes line and exclaimed:
ooh, I've got it l thought it was
lost! Do you know" she said,
turning to a lady caller, "that as
long as l keep that piece of rope |
shall be one Of the luckiest women
in the world?"
"How SOP" asked the friend, ex-
amining it critically. 81 see nothing
in this that could influence fate"
Don't you? Well, ] do! That
rope hung a man once"
Hung man! Horror ]"
The Indianapolis woman took the
piece of offensive hemp between the
tips of her thumb and forefinger
and handed it arms length to her
companion.
"Yes, hung a man, and that man
was none other than Maxwell The
sheriff of st. Louis at the time of
Maxwell's execution is a friend of
mine, and he declares, honor bright,
that this is piece of the Identical
rope!"
Il wouldn't have it for $1,000! !
should be in a chronic state of
nightmare Ugh !"
II would" And the merry, little
actress patted her souvenir in an
afectionate manner. Just see here.
Do you notice how soapy it feels ?
Well, that is the best part of it all.
My friend, the sheriff, declares this
particular portion of the rope went
under Maxwell's chin. You know
a rope used for hanging is always
thoroughly soaped to keep it from
slipping, Now, do you know a
piece of rope like this is said by all
wizards to be more valuable in
bringing luck than any other device
of the black art! Wasn't | for
tunate girl to get hold of it? It's
worth fortune, for it's better to
be born lucky than rich, you know.
Professionals, as a rule, are the
most superstitious class of people
on earth, especially singers. A
hangman's rope, always, for luck.
Why, / was the envy of half the
people singing at the Casino last
winter just on account of this little
piece of innocent-looking hemp!'
She laughed again, and in the
trunk was hurriedly placed, among
the dainty furbelows of silks, laces
and coquetish hats, powder and
rouge, the bit of rope by which the
celebrated murderer had met his
doom.-Indianapolis Journal.

The Forgetful EmpIoye.

A successful business man says
there were two things which he
learned when he was eighteen, which
were afterward of great use to him,
namely: "Never to lose anything,
and never to forget anything"
An old lawyer sent him with an
important paper with certain in
structions what to do with it. "But, "
inquired the young man, suppose
lose it, what shall l do then?'
"You must not lose it,"
81 don't mean to-" said the young
man, 'but suppose | should hap
pen to?"
"But | say you must not happen
to; I shall make no provision for
such occurrence; you must not
lose it p
This put new train of thought
into the young mans mind, and he
found that if he was determined to
do thing he could do it. He made
such a provision against every con.
tingency that he never lost anything.
He found this equally true about
forgetting. If a certain matter OF
importance was to be remembered,
he pinned it down in his mind.
fastened it there and made it stay.
He used to say: "When man tells
me he forgot to do something. l
tell him he might as well have said
L do not care enough about your
business to take the trouble to think
about it again."
| once had an intelligent young
man in my employ who deemed it
sufficient excuse for neglecting any
important task to say: II forgot
it," | told him that would not
answer. If he was sufficiently in
terested he would be careful to re-
member. It was because he did
not care enough that he forgot It,

Adams Boyhood.

Adam was as miscievous as boys
generally are, probably. Darwin
says he was "a perfect little mon
key" which, l believe, is synonym
for mischief the world over. But
unfortunately for Adam, he had no
comrade in his gambols. What fun
could he have ringing door-bells at
night or skylarking around all by
himself? He might whistle and
sound discordant calls after dark,
but no other little boy would come
dashing around the corner to join
him.
l can imagine little Adam, plated
with human nature two inches
thick, looking about for some way
in which to divert himself, and
whimpering, Cant have any fun !'
Of course he couldn't have any fun,
such as boys like. No fun running
away from school, cause school
hadn't been invented, No fun steal
ing away to "go in swimmin'," all
alone by himself. He couldn't play
"tag," for he might yell, I've got
the tag" all day and there would
be no other boy to come and take
it away from him. "High-spy" had
little charm for him, because a boy
soons gets tired of hiding when he
is compelled to find himself.

Good One By Gov. Ferry.

"Governor Ferry" the San Fran
cisco Law Librarian states, recently
wrote the following to an applicant
for an appointment as notary: In
response to a written request OF
twenty of the magnates of Seattle,
YOU have been appointed to the ex-
allied, honorable and lucrative posi-
tion of notary public. | ask you,
however, to bear in mind one re-
sponsibility that may devolve upon
YOU. In the event that there should
be an invasion of the State by a
foreign foe, shall probably call out
the notaries public of the State, IN
stead of the militia, as the former
outnumber the latter by several hun
dred.'" "Probably," says the Libra
rian, "those troops would swear
terribly and protest loudly"

Confession of q Glove Dealer.

"There, you see, is table on
which are some periodicals, said a
glove dealer. "That is for gentle
men who come in here with ladies
who want to buy gloves. Before 1
put that table in the gentlemen
came to the counter with the lady
and the lady ordered her gloves.
The next day they came back with
the information that they were too
small. / soon found that women
do not like to tell to their escorts
the size Of the glove they wear. So
l put in this table and have the
latest periodicals on hand. When
the lady comes in with her escort |
manage to get the escort over to
this table where he becomes inter-
ested. She makes her purchase
and the gloves do not come back,
A trick of the trade, and small
one, | grant you. The world doesn't
know how much trickery there is
in trade"

The Electric Corset.

A writer in the Boston Herald i'm
agines he has discovered a certain
cure for great evil, and describes
it thus: "I've always been opposed
to promiscuous courting, that vic
ious system that permits a young
man without any intentions to waste
a girls time with his attentions.
At last | have devised remedy.
The electric corset solves the diff
Guilty. 1t will no longer be possi-
bic for a young man to slip his arm
around girls waist or lay his head
upon her shoulder without giving
the alarm. The 'ting-a-ling' will
instantly bring her pa, ma or big
brother into the room, and the
offender will be summarily elected.
The electrical corset has a great
future. It's influence upon the moral
tone of society is destined to be in
calculable. We shall have no more
of these hasty marriages which end
so speedily in the divorce courts.
Many young man, under the in
spiration Of the moment, when his
arm is encircling a girls waist,
breathes love which he would 9th
erwise have left untold. This is all
wrong. The electric corset will put
an end most effectually to this prac-
tice." Perhaps it will and perhaps
! it won't. There are such things,
you know, as rubber coats. And
rubber, be it further understood, is
non-conductor Of electricity.

TO PREVENT BALONESS.
A Sage Barber's Unique Ideas on
the Subject.

"The preservation of the hair and
the prevention of badness is mat.
ter to which | have given consider.
able attention and thought" said a
barber not far from the World Of
flee, the other day. "And l have
come to the conclusion that all the
patent tonics that were ever COM
pounded by my craft are not half
as good as few simple and natural
remedies which a child can make
and use. 1t is, of course, impossi-
bic to prevent badness where it is
hereditary, but it can, however, be
warded off.
"The hair, like every other por-
ton Of the human frame, if uncared
for will go to waste and eventually
drop out. This is d lie to a splitting
Of the ends of the Lair, so that the
interior oil duct, which nourishes
the hair, is exposed and the natural
nourishment of the hair runs to
waste, overflows upon the head,
forming dandruff, which impedes
the growth of the hair just as much
as the tares among wheat. The best
means to prevent this is strength
ening of the hair, and this can be
easily accomplished by frequent
cutting and the use of salt and
water and vaseline. Have you ever
noticed what bushy hair seafaring
men have2 I followed the sea for
number of years; l don't remem'
Der of ever having seen bald sailor.
1t is because their hair is in con-
stant contact with the invigofating
salt air, and is often wet with salt
water. A good tonic of salt water
should contain q teaspoonful OF
salt to a tumbler Of water, and
should be applied to the hair two
or three times week.
"The effect at the end of a month
will be surprising. If the hair is
thoroughly washed once a week
with CASTLE soap and the scalp rub
bed with vaseline, the hair will not
only cease to fall out and the dand
ruff disappear, but will actually
thjcken. Having once got the hail
in good condition, vigorous dry
brushing and a resort occasionally
to the treatment I have described
will keep it so. Balzac, the famous
French novelist, was great stick
ler for brushing and rubbing the
hair, and claimed to have wardeo
off badness for long time, though
he inherited it from both his father
and mother.
+ "It is alarming how prevalent
badness now is among young men
and | attribute it entirely to the
stiff Derby hat now in vogue. The
hat impedes the circulation of the
blood on the crown of the head and
thus shuts off from the hair large
portion of it's nourishment. The
soft hat is far the best. Next ~
