sToRlls OF THE DAY.
what the Butchers Arc Laughing Abou

what tho Butchers Arc Laughing About.
One Of the practical jokers o. this city
was caught At his own game last week
and he has sworn of, never to joke again.
It has been the habit OF several Of the
butchers In the City Market House, when
they see an unusually stupid looking
negro, to walk up TO him, aud slapping
him on the back, say, 'look here. boss, l
would like you to get me couple Of
bodies"
Nine cases ont OF ten the man would
become frightened and make some
reply which would serve to keep
them in good humor during
dull hours. Several days ago negro
opened the market house door aud one of
the j1kers ut once made up his mind to
make a victim of the uususpecting negro.
AS he passed his (the joker's) stall. the
butcher put out his hand and motionsd
him TO cDme nearer. The butcher then
told him he would like TO get three or
four bodies. The negro said that he
could not get them for him.
One OF the jokers brother butchers
then resolved TO have some fun at the
expense Of his rival In trade. He fol-
lowed the negro outside and handing him
dime to get a drink, told him there
was more behind IL II he would do as he
said To this the negro consented
The second butcher then Instructed
him to 60 back and tell butcher No.
that he believed he could get him a
ecu pie OF bodies. The one that craved
for dead bodies when told this by the
negro came TO the conclusion that he had
tackled shs wrong man and "to get shut"
Of him walked out leaving the negro
standing there.
A few days after this Joker butcher
No. saw in the papers that some graves
had been robbed at FArnhurst. his
/ thoughts then turned to the man he had
asked to get che bodies for him and every
moment then became one Of painful sus-
pense. Last Saturday night he was horrl-
ged to see the negro stalk up to his
stand. The joker asked him what he
wanted. The negro then commenced to
relate to the butcher his ghoulish tale
He said that he had got the bodies and
wanted the butcher TO advance him
some money on them and take the bodies
off his hands.
The stall was crowded with customers
but the irrepressible colored man could
not take the hint to keep quiet. The
butcher stood it as long as be could ano
then, picking up hls hat. be made q rush
for the door leaving nsgro and customers
gazing after him In establishment Hs
did not return until II was time to clos,
the market house.
Seeing those articles in the paper ant
not knowing that the negro was telling
him what he had been paid to say, h'
supposed that the man had really takeI
the bodies IL Is difficult to imsgin'
just where the affair would have ende,
had not one Of his comrads leta wor'
slip and the much ioked Joker "tumbled.

Growing Old Gracefully.

"Wbat a lovely old lady," I heard a
man remark, at the opera lately.
"She's quite as beautiful as any girl in
the house. Such color and complexion
is rarely seen in woman past forty"
Indeed, the woman of whom he
spoke was lovely. Her face was clear
and smooth, her cheeks, fresh and rosy,
her eyes bright with perfect health
and the enjoyment Of life. She had
passed the critical "change of life'
without falling into "the sere and yel-
low leaf" as most American women
do. How had she succeeded in doing
this Simply by using DR.. Pierce's
Fauorite Prescription at time when
nature stood in need of some assistance.
She had taken it at the right time. In
doing this she was wise. Wiser than
most women who "trust to luck" in
getting through the critical and trying
period safely. This standard remedy
is just what is needed at such time.
It is, from girlhood to old age, accom-
plishes what no other remedy does-a
cure. Take it, woman, when life's
autumn begins, and grow old grace
fully" Your money back ifit doesn't
help yoa.

A Great Explosion!

Ia these days of gunpowder, dyna-
mite, giant powder, and the like, tre-
mendous explosions are no rarity, but
the greatest explosion of modern times
is, without doubt, that Of the cold
school" idea that Consumption is in
durable. Thousands of lives have been
sacrificed to this mistaken notion.
Modern research has established the
fact that Consumption is scrofulous
disease of the luTgs, and that there is
one remedy which will positively
eradicate it from the system-Dr.
Pieree's Golden Medical Discovery.
Of course there were in the olden times
many who would have pronounced
modern explosives instruments of
witchcraft; but there are, fortunately,
few to-day who do not acknowledge
that the "Golden Medical Discovery"
is the one sovereign remedy for all
scrofulous diseases, and Consumption
is. one of them.

times deliver you from temptation.
In conclusion let me remind you that
we may all properly learn the lesson
appropriate to Washington's Birthday,

selves against the danger Of falling
short in the discharge of any duty per-
tanning to citizenship, if, being tho
roughly imbued VIII true American
sentiment and the moral ideas which
support it, we are honestly true to our
selves.

Forty Thousand Acres of Rain.

Rain making as business is novel
ty, but that fact according to telegram
from California, has not deferred CAPT.
talists from going into it on large
scale. The Interstate Artificial Rain
company, of Kansas, has been organ
lied to produce rain to order on any re-
quired area. California farmers are
said to have the company bound to fur
nish them 10000 acres of rain during
the coming season. Rain making seems
to be regarded as a practicable thing by
a good many hard headed people. 1t
is not explained, however, how rain
is to be gotten out of dry atmos-
phere.
