TOW CART,
New Yorker Zig. q is shown one of these
carts which, as a matter of fact, is MOTH
ing but the front axle and wheels of a
wagon so arranged that they can be
hitched to any vehicle when extra power
is required.
Anew use has recently been discovered
for the tow cart. Fig. in the first cut
shows pair of hooks to be attached TO
a tow cart-the front wheels of a farm
wagon, the pole of which has been made
rigid. The draft rope from horse hay
fork, worked with carrier, is attached
to the upper hook, and can be released
at the proper moment without stopping
the team. A good man on the load will
have another forkful ready by the time
the team gets back From the second
hook chain can be conveniently used in
hauling empty wagons off the barn floor
and in bringing il the loaded wagons
from the barnyard. 1t is also told that a
catch may be used, which releases the
draft rope by pressing a lever, thus en-
abling the driver to ride.

SHE SAW HER OWN DEATH.
Dreadful Result of Reading Light Fiction

Dreadful Result of Reading Light Fiction
and Eating Bonbons.
SAT the ball last night" said man
talking to a companion at his club din
ner, "a girl with whom [ sat out one of
the dances told me of rather curious
experience she had earlier in the even
ing. She said she was in the hands of
her maid for the ball, was seated before
her dressing table having her haf done;
the room was warm and flooded with
light; her ball gown was in her sight.
She was reading during the process
some light society novel, and, as she
rather shamefully confessed, munching
bonbons between times. All at once
she grew tired of candies and fiction,
and putting both aside, sat looking in
the glass while the maid worked. She
was thinking of the ball and various an
ticipations she had concerning it when
suddenly, without warning and from
no apparent cause, she found herself
face to face with her own death. She
put it very graphically; 1T was per-
sonal death | was struggling with, she
said, not the abstract death that we
read of in the newspapers nor the
future long-to- be-postponed mortality
which we more or less indifferently ac-
cept as one common destiny. 1t was
the actual end of my life, the fms
of everything for me, and the going cut
from my home and friends to the dark
ness and horror of the unknown be-
yond. What religious faith l had for
sock me completely. / trembled and a
cold dampness gathered on my fore
head. l chol1ed and started
TO my feet. My maid, alarmed,
asked if l were Ill. / said yes,
and l was; Ill with dread but nothing
more, for l was conscious of feeling
perfectly well. She went to fetch
glass of water, and before she returned
the vision, or whatever it was, had
gone as quickly as it had come. The
hairdressing was resumed, and could
detect no physical results of the visita-
ton, which was terribly real and awful
while it lasted, and / shall not soon
forget it.
81 reminded her of some verses of
Aldrich on similar subject, where,
while the carriage waits at the door
For milady's forgotten fan, the hus--
band or lover is confronted in the same
dismal way, but she had never seen or
heard of then. Her experience was
evidently genuine and had made con-
side rable impression upon her."-N. Y.

Laborer Who Preferred the Cesspool TO
Public Office.
There is reason to believe, writes DIR.
Buckley, that. except. in the supernat-
ural elements, the story of Arabian
Nights Entertainment" has been paral-
ielled over and over again in the history
of Constantinople. One of the Sultans
not SO very long ago was in the habit of
going about like the famous Caliph
Haroun- al Raschid in disguise. On one
occasion, passing a place where man
was eXcavating cesspOol, he heard
him say to himself in loud voice:
''Persevere, my SOUL or [ will plunge
thee into deeper filth than this"
A ew hours afterward an officer APP
preached the unfortunate man, and said
to him, Come with me-" Horror took
possession of the laborer who, when
found by the officer, was dressed like
gentleman, and was taking his ease In
cafe. He tried to ascertain from the
person who had him in charge why he
was wanted: for some went into the Sc
cret place under the control of the gov
eminent and never came out, b t no
satisfactory answer could be given.
After being detained for a long time in
fearful suspense, he was at last brought
into the presence of a very high official,
and detained there. Finally he Was
taken into the very pre- yence of the Sui
TAM The Sultan was astonished to see
the man, who had been covered with
filth a short time before, SO well dressed
and intelligent in appearance. He said
to him: 'SAre you the man whom | saw
at work in cesspool?"
ST am
GLOW is it that l find you dressed in
this way?''
81 am well paid for my work, which
is very filthy and disagreeable, and af-
terward | cleanse myself and take mine
ease
''But what did you mean when you
said: Persevere, my soul, or l will
plunge thee into deeper filth than this!''
The man trembled, knowing that at a
word his head might be smitten from his
shoulders. Speak! said the Sultan. He
answered that man often says in anger
what his heart will not acknowledge.
''But what dost thou mean?'
He heSltated, and the Sultan reiterated
his command: 'sWhat dost thou mean?
What deeper filth is there than that in
which thou dost worl1?'
He still hesitated. The Sultan assured
him that no harm should come to him,
and the man then replied:
''My work was disagreeable, and l
was almost tempted to leave it when |
thought, I am still free, / am obliged
to fatter no one; if I give up this work
! may be compelled to take service
under the government, to live by fiat
terry and salsehood,' and SO said to my
soul: 'Persevere, or Twill plunge thee
into deeper filth than this. ;"
The Sultan, according to the story,
was so pleased with this answer that he
gave him handsome present and al.
lowed him to go away ummolested. -'

The rest nodded approval and the old
man went at it again.
eff friend is with YOU" he said,
''don't you instinctively insist on his
following the same route?'
One man admitted that he had gone
SO far as to stop on a corner and argue
about the route because his friend
wanted to go different way.
Exactly" said the old man, ''and if
by any chance you do go by different
route you feel that something is wrong
Of course l am referring only to trips
you take regularly. Am | right?''
1t was the sentiment of the gathering
that the old man was right.
''And that's the kind of a creature of
habit man is, I" he said. 'And he's con-
sistent too-yes, indeed. If horse
wants to travel over route he has trav-
eled regularly he'll hit the animal with
a whip and get red in the face as he
talks about that blamed fool horse ,
And he'll talk about this man and that

I'll bet there isn't a man in Chicago who
takes trip from one certain point to
another at regular intervals who isn't

than any horse that ever lived. Of
course I'll a small matter, but it shows

To Prevent Him from Cheating Himself
Through the Cash Register.
Dishonest clerks have a hard time
now adays. Nevertheless few of them
know how close a watch is kept on
them In the stores where cash regis
ter are used the clerks naturally sup
pose that this is the only check put
upon them. While the cash register
watches the clerks the registers them
selves are closely watched A reporter
Of the Herald was in cigar store the
other day where one of the newfangled
cash registers was In use. Besides the
clerk and the reporter one other man
was present. He was an unobtrusive
looking fellow, but he managed to keep
close watch on the clerk when he
was near the cash register The
clerk knew he was watched and
eyed the fellow with little favor.
When the reporter made a purchase the
clerk took the proffered money and,
looking at the Waterman, laid the money
on the shelf near the register, but failed
to ring up the amount received The
Waterman seemed surprised. After
waiting a moment he mt,dn small
purchase. The clerk took the money,
but again failed to push the button on
the cash register. The watchman saw
this, and as he left the store drew book
from his pocket and made an entry.
After the fellow had gone the clerk
picked up the money he had taken in
and ringing it up on the register put it
in the drawer.
81 was on to him." he remarked to
the reporter. Hes one of the detec
tives these cash register companies send
out. knew him when he came in. Now

Yes, we keep men watching Our
machines, said the agent for one of
t14e register companies. eve do it to
satisfy ourselves that our registers are
being used all right. It is very seldom
that we find case of dishonesty
among the clerks. There is not one
clerk in thousand that we find neg
lecting to use the register. But about
two-thirds of the proprietors are con-
stantly caught tripping. They use the
register once, then leave the drawer
open and make change without ringing
up the amount. Then when the cash
and the register de not agree they think
that the machine is no good. 1t is to
protect ourselves against these people
that we employ the detectives Chi

Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. I am ready to certify to this
statement before a justice of the peace
III. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
'Some years ago, after a severe attack of
brain fever, my hair all came out. I used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce
growth of hair. / then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought
growth of hair in a few weeks. I think I
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but liked it
as dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. I believe Ayers Hair
Vfgor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the Market
