UNCLE SAM TO THE RESCUE.
FROM A MILWAUKEE, LIAR.
A Little Tale Which Would Make Nun
chausen Blush.

ut happened when l was in Florida a
year ago. SAYS Stanley Stout, land while
IL was anything but laughable at the time,
/ can't refrain from smiling when think
Of It.
81 was out sailing with an old fellow
who resided Ill the vicinity, and among
other furniture of which the boat boosted
was long haud-trolling line. No sooner
did my eyes light on that line than the
thought came into my head that It would
bea good scheme 10 try my luck, and the
result was that | had bait soaking over
the stern of that boat in less than no time.
1T didu't seem to be n very good day
for fishing, and becoming tired Of holding
the line | tied 1t to my leg and lay down
on the deck for a snOOZc. Great place FOR
sleeping Is that climate, and had hardly
rested my head on the deck before l was
dead 20 the world.
- must have slept for about half an
hour, when, great Jermima! Well, You
wouldn't believe 1t. but | was suaked
bodily along the deck Of that boat on my
back with rapidlty that was terrible 20
contemplate.
"Whv, gentlemen, You may believe me or
not, but the friction was such that II set my
clothes on freand completely wore the halr
of the back of my head.
InetinctIvely l grabbed for the first
thing in sight, and luckily got hold OF a
rope that CHANGED to be fastened TO the
tlller-post. Talk about sport. There was
something TO make man pay attention,
and no mistake. You wouldn't believe that
mans leg would stretch, would youI
Wen. il Will. and for about ten days had
proof Of II sufficient 10 convince the most
There hung like grim death to that
rope, expecting every moment to see my
leg pulled out Of the socket, but instead OF
coming out II stretched, and gentlemen,
80 help me, that leg was ten feet long If IT
was an inch II it hadn't been for the old
man who was sailing the boat | don't know
what wOuld have become of me, for the
terrible strain was beginning TO tell, and
was growing weaker every moment
You seen that after he had brought the
boat up into the wind he was at "A loss to
know how TO get at tho line, rs my foot. TO
which the line was attached, was stretched
out ten feet over the water.
FINALLY, as a last resort, he brought
rife from tho cabin, and after several
misses succeeded in cutting the line with a
bullet Maybe / wasn't an Odd-lOOklng
object when | returned TO the settlement.
That leg settled back into place very slowly.
and when the boat touched ut the dock, II
was still some seven feet in length. and J
was obliged 10 hire a lumber wagon 70 take
me to my hotel. 1t was at least three
weeks before it got back to its natural
length, and for awhile / had the dis
tinguished honor of being the tallest man
IN the world. Yes" continued Stanley, as
the PARKWAY look disappeared from ms
eves and he once more descended TO earth,
"tarpon-6shing is great sport"
WHY the gang on the rear platform made
mn its mind TO escape at this moment IS
not known, but they fell off the horse-car
as one man. leaving Stanley to his own IN
teresting reflections.

WORMS THAT SPOIL CoRKS.
Pest that Causes Great Annoyance to
Wine Manufacturers.

Investigation in France proves the ex-
istence Of two or three types of moths IN
wlne-celIars. The grubs feed on the fun
GOOD growth that forms on the WINE watts
and mouldy corks. The insect bores ana
forms galleries III the cork nearest to the
glass. and through the holes thus formed
ar gains access to the wine. spelling II.
The San Francisco Chronicle says: Our
chief difficulty in bottling wines has been
IN obtaining o supply Of perfect corks. AT
least 25 per cent. of corks, after examina-
ton for fitness, are rejected.
IAN examination of several bins was
made at the vineyards and 1t was found
that the corkswere perforated, and in some
cases the wine oozed through them. Now
we are trying a method TO stop the lnroads
of these grubs.
" After soaking the corks IN hot water
and then in brandy they are dried, ana
when they are put into the bottles the
tons are coated with a layer of paraihne
wax previous TO sealing them with the
ordinary wax.
I'VE hope by the use of the parathne
compound to stop the rayages OF these
insects. Neither the grubs nor insects
feed upon the wine, but simply use the
cork as place TO deposit their eggs, ana
the coating may possibly prevent their
entrance"

10 pGople suffering from rheumatism IN

should proceed to a drugstore and buy

sh0uld be repeated at intervals OF two
hours until the last yestige of the maiady
