WANTS HIS COMMISSION.
The Head of Matrimonial Bu-
Peau in Trouble.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Dec. 11.-Fred Knapp
was the smoothest horse and cattle
trader among all the German population
of Monee, ILL.,, but when he began trad
ing in the tender passion he botched
everything. He did such miserable
job that it will take the circuit court of
Will county week to straighten out
his work. William Wilson wanted a
wife. and knowing Fred's good. hearted
ness ana general tendency to all-round
speculation applied to him. Wilson was
over fifty, widower. and not at all
beautiful, but Fred promptly declared
mediate neighborhood, one of whom
would exactly suit Wilson. The
proper appreciation to the extent
of $50 for good article. sound in wind
and limb and broken to harness, was
guaranteed by Wilson. Then a Mrs.
Schrimpferman at Pullman was eXhib-
tied. According to Knapp's story.
there was some fault found with her.
and then Mrs. Elizabeth Jacobs was
suggested. To be sure she had an II sh-
mai tangled up in her domestic rcla-
tions some way, but Knapp was teo
smooth German speculator to allow a
little thing like that to Interfere. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Jacobs and Knapp.
Farmer Wilson was introduced and the
woman taken to his home. Neither
Wilson, Knapp nor Mrs. Jacobs had
counted on couple of grown-up chill
dren at Wilson's and Mrs. Jacobs only
stopped in the house two or three DAYS.
Now Knapp has suit for the $50 com
mission money, and the court and four
attorneys are wrestling with Mrs.
Jacobs breach of promise case, calling.
for $4,000 damages. Wilson swears
that he was only in search of a house
keeper, and that both the woman and
Knapp wholly misunderstood him,

Mr.. Morrill, regards this statement as
an evidence that the expenditure for

much less than was anticipated, and
that there will be a considerable saving
to the government growing out of the
fact that arrears cannot be collected on
applications for pensions filed under the
new act.

A Very Good Reason.

Druggists who are selling Smiths Tonic
Syrup, made by DR. John Bull, of Louis
vile, KY, wonder that its sales increase so
rapidly. At first they began to buy quar-
ter or half dozen, but found that amount
now they say they are obliged to buy in
half gross and gross lots in order to keep a
supply on hand There is very good reason
why Smiths Tonic Syrup should sell so
well There is not much newspaper adver-
Using done, but it advertises itself. Every
bottle used is an advertisement, for it does
exactly what it is expected to do. 1t will
break up the chills and fever in less time
than any other drug. 1t will prevent and
quickly cure colds, Influenza, la grippe, etc.
In fact, it can be substituted for quinine in
every instance, and with better satisfac-
ton, for it's effect is more certain and re-
liable, and it never leaves the unpleasant
effects that quinine sometimes does.

Another method of applying the same

preserve their natural form.

COUNTRY BUTCHERS.


How New York Is Treated to Unhealthy
Calves and Aged Cows.
my dear sir, II those fellows were to
put on the hooks of Monroe market
some of the meat that they send to New
York we would hang them to the near
est telegraph pole"
1t was well known justice of the
peace Of Orange County who said this.
We were riding over the hills together,
and in the course of five mile drive l
learned more about bob veal and jerkers
than had ever dreamed of before.
Eyes, SIR" said he, ''the ways of the
honest farmer are pretty slick. and you
New York folks have to pay the piper.
do you see that red house down in
the valley yonder? That belongs to a
bob butcher, as we call them, who has
grown rich in the trade. He travels
about the country collecting milk
calves, and slaughters and sends them
to New York-calves that / would no
more think of eating than ! would OF
eating poison. He openly boasts up here
that he owns the meat inspectors, body
and breeches; and Judging from some
of the meat that passes l should say he
did. Once in awhile when there is an
over supply he gets a seizure Of few
baskets made. Then he comes back
here and tells a pretty tale of woe to
the farmers. No demand, dangerous
business and all that stuff. However,
he will take the calves off their hands
for the sake of the pelts at fifty cents
apiece, just for old friendships sake.
Like as not he will get two dollars for
the very animals-poor little babes
that he pays half dollar for. I'D.
''There is another industry up here
that is interesting to city people. When
a dairy runs out so that the COWS are
mere skin and bone and fit for nothing
at all they are called "jerkers." These
jerkers are shipped to New York and
made into bologna sausage. If they are
able to stand they are shipped alive; if
not they are killed and the meat
shipped down in baskets, would not
feed it to a respectable hog that
thought any thing of. But several car
loads 60 out from Monroe each week,
and New Workers get the sausage. Oh,
it is fine to be behind the scenes!
''But leetle the worst that honest
farmer did up hereswas when the pleuro-
pneumonia epidemic got here. The
State and Government inspectors were
here and many animals were sla ugh
tered. Some were found to be healthy
after death and theinspectors permitted
their bodies to be sent to New York;
but, my friend, some Of the others went
also, and that is the Gospel truth.
"Stop them? Well, yes, suppose we
might have stopped them. But we rea-
soned that they were not sold in our
markets and it was none of our funeral.
New York had men hired to look out for
such things. Ea8s %stE
THE fact is you ought to have meat
and milk inspectors stationed up here
Instead ofin the city, and they ought to
get million year to keep them hon
est. The honest farmer has got to
look sharp to keep the mortgage from
eating him up.'-N. Y. Herald.
