A dramatic critic in a de~sultory con.
v~ersation the other night said he Won
dered why Cinderella wore glass slip
pers; he never saw any one dance in
glass slippers, and he didn't believe any
n could dance in glass slippers. One
man suggested that it was a fairy tale.
Another man made every one tired by
talking of malleable glass. He remarked
that he once saw a Pittsburg lady in a
glass gown. The manager, n distin-
guished Gallicist-he nee went to school
with Tartarin at Tarascon-said she
never did wear glass slippers.
"You see" he explained, Cinderella
was indebted to n translator's mistake
for her uncomfortable pumps. This de-
lightful extravaganza was originally
French, and the man who Englished it
didn't know his business. The French
words are 'pantoufies de vair-fur slip
pers. Now the word for glass is 'verre,'
and the English chump got 'em mixed
up."-Chicago Tribune.

For example, she happened to be at a

"No," said Ann, divining her thoughts,
''he will not die in battle. He will choke

There was but one way to do this, so

Mortgage Foreclosures.

Gen. Green, of Winfield, Kan, known
all over the west as the "Big Mortgage
Lawyer" we wish to say is permanently
located at Winfield, having resided here
nearly twenty-one years, is we'll known,
and conceded by all to be an active, en-
ergetic and thoroughly reliable business
man, and a lawyer who is ever alive to
the interests of his many clients.
The General, when he is employed on
case, is not satisfied with defending
and delaying mortgage foreclosure as
long as possible (Which has been in some
instances as long as six years., but he is,
during all the delay he causes, striving
to effect new loan through some of the
various companies in the state with all
Of whom he Is we'll acquainted), or to as
sist his client to make some trade, or to
effect settlement with the mortgage
or creditor satisfactory to his client,
which Is not hard to do, as when the
mortgage finds that Gen. Green Is en-
ployed to defend the foreclosure suit, he
at once becomes moderate in his de-
mands, and is much easier to settle with.
In most all instances the General is sue
cessful in carrying them through their
difficulty In one way or another. He has
now proven to many that he can manage
their foreclosure suits at distance from
him much better and at less cost and out
lay to them than it would cost them to
employ home attorney, who Is devoting
time to the general practice, and hence

A DOUBLE JOKE.
Two Young Men Leave Lodging Bill
and the Landlord Finds Dunn
nv in the Room.

A few weeks ago two young mel
came here and not being able to Sc
cure quarters, Mr.. c. F. Herbst
went surety for them to Mr.. A
Wheeler, who let them have room
in the lodging house, opposite his
bar, which ne runs in connection
with his restaurant, and Tuesday
they left, without paying their bill,
which Mr.. H. could not understand
as they belong to good families OF
means in Germany, though he
thinks perhaps, they forgot it. Mr..
Woehler heard that they had
skipped and sent for lIr. Herbst to
inform him that the men he had
recommended had abused his conf
dence and left their bill unpaid.
Mr.. Herbst asked if they had left
anything in the room and went up
to see. While up there he noticed
an old helmet that was worn in the
German army, an old suit of clothes
and pair of boots, and instead of
getting indignant, he conceived the
idea of getting joke on MIR. Woeh-
Ter, and put up a dummy.
The dummy had a stuffed pair of
pants stuck in an old pair of boots
and the coat was buttoned up over
pillow, and the table drawn up
behind it, so that a white lamp
shade could be utilized for the head
which was done by browning it with
German army helmet, putting a
false nose on it that indicated an all
night-spree, and surmounting it
with a broken pair of spectacles.
The bed clothes had been used to
construct the dummy, after which
Mr.. 81. came out and pretended that
he didn't know which room they oc-
cupied and got Mr.. Woehler to go
up with him and one or two others.
When he opened the door, noticed
the absence of the bed clothes,
which he thought the young men
had stolen and saw the dummy, he
was indignant and gave vent to his
feelings in expressive language too
lurid for publication, and threaten
ed to have Constable Boyd follow
the young men for not paying him
and hooking him with such figure
This put the idea into some ones
head to tell Mr.. Boyd that Mr..
Woehler wanted the man in No. %
arrested, and he was sent up, but
could find nobody who would admit
that they had sent for him. The
news of the joke got out in town
and crowds went down until it per-
haps cost MIR. Woehler more in
drinks than the bill Mr.. Herbst will
have to pay in case the young men
don't send the money back.

DEATH OF DAVID sCArEs.

About Z o'clock Tuesday morning
death invaded the apartments O
Mr.. David Scates at the Pennington
hotel, and relieved him of his SUI
fering after an illness of more thar
three weeks duration with typhoid
fever and congestion.
Mr.. Scates was a young English
man, having left his home in BURY
st. Edmunds, England, some five
years ago to cast his lot in the land
of the free, and after a short soiourn
in other places came here about
three years ago, and for a long time
was in the employ of Mr.. VIM.
Watson, of the Rosedale nursery
until last winter he made trip to
to the mother country to visit his
widowed mother and only sister, re-
turning here in April, since which
time he has been in the employ of
the Wells Fargo & Co.'S Express
until he was forced it take his bed a
little over three weeks ago, since
which time he has been quite sick
but it was believed that he had
passed the worst and was improving
until Tuesday morning early he took
sudden turn for the worse and be-
fore the attendants could realize
that the grim messenger was on the
threshold that separates time from
eternity, the transition had taken
place and MIR. Scates passed away
from the scenes and cares of earth,
we trust to his eternal home in joys
elysian.
The funeral took place from the
parlor of the Pennington hotel at
$3.50 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, one
of the sad features of which was the
absence of single relative in at
tendance, though friends and fellow
countrymen administered to his
wants during his illness and paid
the last sad tribute of respect to his
memory by following his remains to
the city cemetery where he was
tenderly laid to rest, and if no rel
alive was there to shed tears over
his departure, those of his acquan
lance who had known him best in
life, and speak in the highest praise
of his life walk, as they perhaps
thought of the poignant grief that
the news of his death will carry to
the heart of his widowed mother
and loving sister in their far away
home across the sea, there were few
dry eyes in the crowd of friends
that gathered around the open grave,
and the kind ladies present, literally
covered it with flowers.

A CASE OF CHILLS and FEVER
Of Long Standing Finds a Cure.
A Miserable Mana Long Journey
Brief Consultation-An Off-hand
Prescription-A Permanent
Cure and a Happy Man.
Extract from a Medical Lecture by
DR.. S. B. Hartman.

Several years ago man forty
five years of age, from a malarious
district, came a long distance to
consult me for q chronic malarious
election tor which he had doctored
without lntermission for over ten
years. The treatment which had
been mainly relied on by the
various doctors he had consulted
was qulnine and other derivative
of chinchona bark. Of these pre-.
parations he had taken many
pounds, and during several inter
walls he had taken a great many
chill cures, but nothing seemed to
have any permanent effect.
His complexion was of that dirty
yellow so characteristic of old ague
patients, and his sunken, lusterless
eyes, surrounded by dark circles,
indicated how completely his
health had been undermined. The
tongue was heavily furred with a
thick brown coating, breath very
offensive, and he complained of a
constant, dull headache. A poor
appetite, indigestion, biliousness
and constipation completed tale
of woe so commonly heard in q
malarious locality. The chills
came on at irregular intervals.
Sometimes he would not have one
for month; then again every day
for a while.
For this man I prescribed Peru
ma and Man-a-lin as directed on
the bottles, the Man-a-lin to be
used until the bowels became re.
gular and digestion good. A few
weeks after 1 received a very
enthusiastic letter from him, in
which be declared himself nearly
we'll, and better than he had been
in ten years, and had taken no
quinine since beginning my treat.
ment. L instructed him to grad.
ually leave off the Man-a-lfn, which
he did, but continued the Pe-ru-na
a few months longer, and made a
complete recovery, continuing to
enjoy the best of health.
This case is one OF which there
are thousands in every malarious
district who have been many years
and still are searching for some
thing to bring relief to their
miserable condition. 1 am posi-
tive that Pe-ru-na and Man-a-l1n
would cure every one of these, for
1 have watched its effect a good
many years, and 1 do not know a
single failure:
