Several farmers near Wapakoneta,
Ohio, have been made the victims OF
two very smooth fruit tree men through
q very ingenious scheme. A well dressed
man, driving through the country SELL
ing fruit trees, would stop at farmers
house. While there he would be taken
very ill and ask the farmer to hand him
a bottle of medicine out OF grip,
which, however, the latter would not
find. He would then ask him to g or
send somebody to town for prescrip-
ton, giving him fountain pen and a
fruit tree blank oD which to write the
prescription, aud as the medicine was of
such a nature as to require the pur-
chaser's signature the unsuspectmy farm.
er would sign it. Just here stranger
No. makes his appearance from the
opposite direction. going to town. tie
stops for drink OF water, and as he is
coming back at once aud is visiting iu
the neigborhood, he is asked to take the
prescription to town. Shortly after he
has gone No. finds his medicine, re.
covers, and goes to town. In few days
the farmer has note to pay aud the
prescription never comes back.

The Bnrro is Not a Beauty.

The burro is not pretty beast, but in
the wild western plains he is sometimes
very useful. The burros instinctively
know where water Is to be found, and if
miners have been out day or two with
out water, they are very liable to be de-
serted by their jacks, the animals break
ing away and rushing off in the direc-
tion of the nearest pool. More than one
party OF prospectors or travellers has
been saved from perishing of thirst by
the instinct-or intelligence, or what
ever else you please to call it-of the
burros, for these animals, even II hal
tered, will smell the water when they
cannot go to it, and give brays of JOY at
its proximity. If one of them is released
when they exhibit these signs of en-.
thusiasm, and his steps are followed, he
will be sure to lead the travellers to the
nearest water.-New Orleans PicsYune.

Says the Louisville Courier-Journal:
"a good deal more gold coin would be
in circulation if it were not for the fact
that many persons hoard small amounts
of it, though they are no more benefited
by this saving than if it were silver or
paper. These hoarders are chiefly
women, many who keep every gold piece
they find in the pockets of their husbands
aud hold on to every one that comes to
them in any other way. 1t is just as
we'll that this should be so, as handlers
of much money prefer paper to any kind
of coin. The ladies may as well keep
their gold pieces out of circulation as
long as possible"

families of Louisiana resident in Iber-

which she had been brSssaht barely a

her case was found to be past human

Men without any aptitude for politics
