ira ten cent piece from woman. They
are all alike and their name is close.
never drive one that she doesn't want to
go like an engineer, and if demand ex-
ira pay for the time made over the road
she will hold back and fight with her
mouth every time. They all want their
moneys worth. If they agree to travel
at mile rates and doubt my estimate of
the distances have to wait while they
go into drug store or telegraph office
for points, and then l lose more time
than the difference amounts to. If they
hire me by the hour they will hold the
cab till the full hour is up. l never
knew one of them to cheat in the time,
and never met one who paid for frac-
ton over. A man will allow me half an
hour or half dollar occasionally to get
back to the stand, but woman never
pays for anything she doesn't get. Un-
less she is with man don't care much

A Noteworthy Exception.

from the k1mDall, s. d., Graphic.
While the columns OF the Graphic are
open to any and all unobjectionable ad-
vertisements, yet it is quite impossible
for us to speak knowingly of the merits
of the various articles Of merchandise
advertised. Particularly is this true of
patent medicines. But there are excep-
tions occasionally, and a noteworthy
exception is the celebrated Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This now uni
versally known medicine has been adver-
tised in the Graphic for four or five
years, but not until recently had we
any personal knowledge of it's wonderful
efficacy, which has come about through
the prevailing influenza and the stub
born cough that has so often attended
it. In the writer's family this medicine
has on several occasions this winter
cured a cough that batfled any and all
other remedies; and the number of fam
lilies in Kimball and vicinity in which
this remedy has been used with like
effects, attests to it's value as specific
for coughs and colds of every nature.

Rich Mems Cigars.

It is a mistake to presume that the
rich men smoke the higher grades of
cigars, according to well known deal
er. The Vanderbilts and the Goulds use
choice clear Havanas and pay high prices
for them, but they are exceptions among
the wealthy class. The gamblers are
the connoisseurs in the matter of smok-
ing. They buy only the best and highest
priced cigars. Rich mems sons who are
clerks at small salaries come next in
their choice of cigars, and the politicians
are third in the list. Business men in
the commercial and mercantile lines
rank fourth, and the same.authority says
that retired merchants and millionaires
buy the cheapest cigars they can get

An Old Slaves Romance.

A colored woman, bent nearly double
with eighty years and a heavy bundle,
was seen to board the Cincinnati Mail
line packet yesterday afternoon. Ap-
preaching the clerk of the boat she slow
ly united knot in the corner of her red
bandana handkerchief and produced
enough cash to purchase deck ticket
for Cincinnati. The wrinlled and feeble
old negress is the heroine of romance.
In ante-bellum days she was q slave. and
was owned by planter near Asheville,
N. c. AT an early age she was married
to slave of the same master BY him
she had several children. Over half a
century ago her husband was taken
from her and her children, and was sold
to another planter. The woman con.
tinued to work on the North Carolina
plantation, and in short time was
again married Her whole family was
then sold to a Virginia man.
When the emancipation proclamation
was promulgated the family took ad-
vantage of their freedom and journeyed
northward, finally taking up their home
in Louisville. The husband died after
the close of the war, and the children
one by one left their mother to seek their
fortunes elsewhere. The mother toiled
and labored to make livelihood. She
heard nothing of her first husband until
about month ago, when one of her sons
found that the old man was living in
Newport, Ky. The old negress jour.
neyed thither and found the husband OF
her youth. He had also been married
the second time, and had several chill
dren by the second wife. The latter was
dead, however, and the reunited couple
decided to again live together The wom-
an returned to Louisville, disposed of
her effects, and yesterday afternoon COM
pleted the romance of fifty years by re-
turning to her husband. Post
