The Man Thought He Was Poisoned,
But 1t Wouldn't Do.
"Say, I'm poisoned! Give me
something for itr' yelled an excited,
halfcrazed-looking individual who
bounded from a cab and, hatless and
coatless, rushed into an allnight
drug store on Madison street, the
other night.
"Poisoned? By what? Quick,
out with it? What did you take?"
queried the prescription clerk as he
dove out and caught the excited man
by the shoulder. "How long ago
did you take it? What was it?"
"Took it by mistake for witch
hazel. It's prussic acid"
"What? Prussia acid?. How do
you know? When did you take it?"
"About twenty minutes ago, out
home; caught this cab on the corner
and drove right here. Say; will 1
die? Give me something quick"
"Let's see the bottle" replied the
clerk, and his tone grew cold and
hard. The excited man forked it
over. The label was prussic acid all
right, and the drugstore man shifted
the mouth gingerly, then critically.
Then he spoke again and did it ex-
citedly.
"Say, you get out Of here, and get
out quick. You can't work DO such
game on me. If you think you can
work me for a big slug of whisky
because the saloons are closed you're
off that's all. You get QUIT"

81 had a peculiar experience the
other day." said friend of mine at
the club, ."You know Pm a little
bit near-sighted, and I have a very
poor memory for faces and voices.
I was walking along Washington
street about 9 o'clock in the morn
ing, on my way to the office, when /
was accosted by well-dressed man
who called me by name. couldn't
remember where, but / was sure that
I had known him somewhere, for his
face and voice were both perfectly
familiar; but for the life Of me I
couldn't place him. Have your ever
been in q similar fix? Well, you
know how cheap a man feels and
how embarrassed he gets as he tries
to talk pleasantly without giving
himself away. / would have given

and as he ratified on about the
weather one indistinct impression
chased another through my puzzled
brain. No good, though; I had to
give it up.
"sWell,' l thought, 'I'll hide it.
from him if 1 can, but if the worst
comes to the worst I'll tell him I've
had brain fever and it has affected
my memory, and if he'll tell me his
name I'll write it down and promise
never to forget it to my dying
day"
GAIL this time my friend and /
kept up lively conversation, in the
course of which he displayed consid>

getting on.
"Great C@sar!' exclaimed to my
self, have I lost my mimi, and is
this my brother or my father?'
"'How did you come out on that

solicitude,

MIR. John P. Duval, Tallahassee how
VINO has worked his way up in the world
oy pluck and perseverance, is now in
Oenver, Col, in the insurance business.
.0 writes home graphic description of
MS trip from Jacksonville to Denver. in
which he says:
we left Jacksonville Monday night,
wnere the weather was rainy and very
dsagreeable. We found the sleeping car
however, warm and comfortable and when
we awoke next morning we we're flying
through Middle Alabama at the rate of IS
or 40 miles an hour-the weather bright
and warm.
I'VE passed through beautiful coun-
try from Montgomery to Nashville, the
train running in and out among the
mountains. with fields fresh and green on
either side.
"wednesday morning we found our
selves in St. Louis, where we changed
cars for the first time, and from there we
got through sleeper to Denver.
cat Hannibal, Mo, the weather was
warmer than when we left Jacksonville
and it was remarked by several passen-
gers that the further north we went the
warmer it got.
''Thursday morning we crossed the
| plains Of Southern Nebraska, passing
through what was known in the old
biographies as the Great American
Desert, and it deserves the name till yet,
for we passed hundreds of miles without
seeing tree-nothing but dreary ex-
panse of plains with now and then a few
sandy hills. Occasionally we would see
an adobe hut and herd of cattle and
sometimes a dead COW or the bones Of
some animal that had been killed by a
passing train. And out of just such a
dreary waste springs the magnificent city
of Denver, only that twenty five miles
away the Rocky Mountains raise their
heads far up above the clouds. Owing
to the dryness and clearness of the at
mosphere the mountains look to be only a
few miles away.
''The climate here is delightful, and
though the ground may be covered with
ice, owing to the dryness and elevation
you do not feel the cold.
The electrical phenomena is something
wonderful. If you walk around a carpeted
room or shuttle your feet on the carpet and
then touch piece of metal, or touch al
other person, distinct spark flies from
you, accompanied by shock similar to
one received from a galvanic battery.
You can even light gas jet by rubbing
your feet on carpet and then touching thu
jet with the end OF your finger. Further
up in the mountains the people can't boi
beans or eggs, as the water boils at such
low temperature it does not get hot enough
to cook anything in. In Leadville if yor
want a sott.boiled egg for breakfast they
put it on at midnight and let 1t boil til
breakfast time and the chances then arr
; that it will be raw. Breakfast Is begun a.
midnight, dinner at breakfast time, etc."

The Hard Fate OF a farmers Wife

John W. Bookwater in the September Forum.
Every day of her life she goes through
the dreary, monotonous round. At an
early hour, every morning through the hot
summer, she prepares the same black cof-
fee and fried pork (perhaps hot biscuits)
and before she can clear away the break
fast things and make the bed she hears the
calves bleating, the milk.cow stamping,
both impatient to have the mornings busi-
ness done with. Then comes the dreary
routine of the torenoon's work, the baking
of bread, the washing, and the like, until
the meridian sun warns her that the ever
lasting midday meal is due and must be
ready at once. To round up the duties
and responsibilities Of the day her labors
are carried far into the night, and OTTER,
very often, they continue long after those
of the male portion of the family have
ended. She has long since ceased 10 think
about her personal appearance. A tender
kiss from her husband would almost sur
prise her. Once che grieved that her little
girls were 80 barely clad; now she scarcely
thinks of it. That she 81 ould have spare
hour every day to read never enters her
head, and the bare suggestion that on every
Sunday she should dress up" and devote
herself, during the rest of the day, to social
intercourse would cause stare Of incred-
uli,v. For be it understood that Sunday
for the farmers wife is a sort of clearance
day to adjust the odds and ends OF the pre-
yious weeks CARES and labors, to be in
readine 50 for the renewed labors of the
coming week.

On Zeke's rolled gold shirt stud
Their kissing's like the noise COW
