100 Doses One Dollar
Patch and All,


An old sea-dog, Sawyer by name, was
a privileged character On certain man
of-war, writes a correspondent, because
of his age and the length OF time he had
been in the service lie eked out his
pay by making and selling uniforms for
otner men, and as he had the market
entirely to himself it was natural that
he should become little autocratic in
his dealings. On one occasion a young
sailor wished to buy pair of white duck
working-trousers
Old Sawyer, holding a pair of second
hand trousers at arms length descanted
upon their various excellencies until he
was compelled to pause for breath At
that point the young fellow ventured to
ask, meekly:
Sand what might the price be, Mr..
Sawyer"
The old man hemmed and hawed, and
began thus:
"Waal, young Teller, | reckon you
know what white duck costs from the
paymaster, don't you? Fifty cents a
yard, amt it? And so many yards is
two dollars altogether Then there s
the thread, ten cents Wen call it, two
dollars and ten cents, and the making
will bring it up to three fifty. / calcer-
late we won't quarrel with that; and
then there's this blue patch, he contin-
ued, stroking 1t lovingly, 81 put that in
myself last summer, an its good p zee
of work. I'm afraid I'll have to charge
you twenty cents extry for that patch,
say three dollars and seventy cents alto
gether."
The money was paid and received
without word, neither party seeming
to think it surprising that patched trou-
sers should cost more that whole ones.

One Way.

An English clergyman has found out
the best way to iLculcate total absti-
hence. The church band used to go out
every evening in his parish, bringing in
numerous villagers. When they came
into the church teetotal drinks were pro-
vided free of charge. The mission lasted
four days, during which time the saloons
realized very little and DRINKS were Of
rare occurrence

SAM SMALL

Sam Small was a drayman at one
time, before he became a preacher,
and his outfit is described as "a small,
rickety, rafting, ramshackling wagon
and a sorrel horse that was old and
experienced enough to have come down
from the Revolutionary war;" But
Sam has made up for his draymans
outfit since then. Just now he is
having a monkey and parrot time
over real estate deal. If Sam will
take REDS GERMAN COUGH AND KID
NEY CURE he will be astonished to
find that he can preach three times
as long as he is now able to do. This
great remedy is unequaled for its eff
fects upon the organs OF the throat.
For this reason il is the best thing in
the world for clergymen, actors, sing
ers, and all persons who have to de-
pend upon the voice for living. 1t
is impossible TO take an overdose, and
on this account IL is invaluable in a
family where there are children. For

Hugo's Self-Conccit.

Many great men have been aware OF
their own genius. In most cases their
self-coniidence has been pardoned to
them on account of their achievements.
Victor Hugo, the most famous of mod
ern French authors, was so great a ma Il
that his vanity might well have been
overlooked, but it was nevertheless some
times amusing.
In 1851. when Napoleon III. was
crushing the liberties of the republic,
Hugo was anxious to stir up revo,u-
ton. NJ. Jules Simon relates that, in
company with a friend. he net Hugo on
the street enc day during the excite
ment.
"Simon," said the poet. "do YOU think
that if | caused myself t. be Iii led in
the Latin Quarter. and my body were
carried through the streets, the students
would rise in revolt"
81 am sure they would" said Simon.
Victor Hugo shook his hand in a
tragical manner and went away. NJ.
Simon's companion looked at him with
an EXPIRE: sion of terror.
"Dont be afraid" said mon: "ht
really means it, but it is a long way &c
the Latin Quarter. and before he get
there he will have forgot II all about it.
| 1t is related that. during the siege o
! Paris by the Germans in 1871. Victor
! Hugo said one day at dinner table:
81 am going to raise the siege and save
! Paris"
"But howe" asked Il guest.
Il shall expose myself at the Outpost:
! and shall be killed. And when The
! Prussians see my dead body. they wi
retr, with sorrow and shame 10 thci
| own count y"
The poet evidently forgot this projcc
