the beneficent results OF protection.
The southern states are now produc-

Here Is a story for cynics. A few even.
ings since colored man called at the
Office of the Missouri Railway company
at Leonard avenue and Olive street.
Many of the gripmen and conductors
were about waiting for their trains. The
darkey held in his hand five dollar gold
piece, and was looking for an owner
for It.
He said that he had given conductor
dime early In the afternoon and re.
ceived in change a coin which he sup
posed was o nickel, but which he dis
covered later In the day was five dollar
gold piece. Not wishing that q poor
man should sustain such q loss he called
to find the owner. No report of such a
loss had been made at the office. It Is
probable that some passenger gave 1t to
a conductor for o five cent piece, and it
was paid out without notice for such a
coin.
For the information Of possible claim
ants it may be we'll to say that by COM
mon consent the honest darkey was per-
mitted to be the beneficiary, and that he
departed rewarded for his honesty with
his gold piece and many kind word
from the carmen.-St. Louis Post-Dis

Causes of headaches.

You can judge of the cause OF
headache in many instances by its loca.
tion," said the doctor after he had asked
his little patient where the pain was that
she complained of. A dull headache In
the front of the head, particularly above
the eyes, proceeds almost invariably
from indigestion, and can be treated ac-
cordingly. At the back of the head,
however, just above the neck, steady
pain betokens congestion or too much
blood in the brain. An excellent remedy
for this is to apply mustard plaster on
the spine just below the neck This al
most invariably draws the blood away
from the head and gives relief.
Neuralgia headache is unnistakable
through the sudden darting character of
its pains. Cloths wrung out OF the hot
test water one can stand will help this
suffering sometimes to great extent
