Cures Others

VIII cure You, is true statement Of the
action Of AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood; but, while this assertion is true of
AYERS SarSaparilla, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied TO
other preparations, which unprincipled
dealers will recommend, and try to i'm
pose upon you, as "just as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if you need bloOd-purifer
and would be benefited permanently
This medicine, for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed a reputation, and made a
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYERS
Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint Of he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it has, deSer-
vedly, the confidence OF the people.

| W neH lne CIRCUS WAS neiV,Shls u w "Sh'
ington correspondent, and the house
found itself without quorum, George
d. Wise, of Virginia, told good cloak
room story. 1t was founded on fact
The scene was at Hanover Court House,
in Mr.. Wises district. Mr.. Wise and
one of the nominees for electOr at large
we're announced to speak con the issues
of the day" at Hanover.
"When we got to town" said Mr..
Wise, 1--WE discovered that circus had
spread its canvas for that very afternoon.
The crowd was large, but | had doubts
as to how the speechmaking would 60 in
opposition to the circus. The meeting
was set for / o'clock in the afternoon,
and | knew that The circus people would
begin to do business at about the same
time. There didn't seem to be anything
to do but go ahead with our appoint
ment. We had the meeting called to
order, and | told the elector that court
esy demanded that he, being candidate
on the state ticket, should make the first
speech. He was inclined to waive that
and have me begin, but insisted. /
knew that the circus crisis was coming
and preferred to have him face it. So
the elector was introduced and started
off. All was omnOusly quiet around
the circus tent. The crowd gathered to
hear the speaking, and the electOr began
to warm up to the occasion.
"He had spoken perhaps fifteen min
utes when suddenly the band struck up,
the ticket seller took his place and the
canvas door was thrown open. That
crowd turned rs one man and started for
the show. In two minutes there wasn't
anybody around the platform, and | was
the only person besides the elector upon
the platform. The electcr stopped and
looked at me. ITS no use talking against
a circus said |, and we got down and
followed the crowd, which was gathered
around the ticket seller. | had brought
out some money from Richmond to extend
hospitalities to my hearers when | had
finished the speech expected TO make.
l hunted up one of my best friends in
the crowd, and handing him some money
| said
"'Here, you buy tickets TO the circus
with this and give them to the right per-
sons with my compliments.
"The next minute my friend was
shouting at the top of his voice, Ladies
and gentlemen, the Hon. George ID. Wise
has authorized me to see that every one
has ticket to the show, with his compli-
ments.'
with that the crowd shouted and
crowded up. | saw my money 60 into
the hands of the ticket seller and | saw
the crowd pass into the circus at my ex-
pense. OF course there was no stopping
after that. 1t took the last quarter out
of my pocket before the job was finished,
and there | stood with my crowd inside
and | alone on the outside. The circus
manager came over to me and with a
grin complimented me on my election
eering tactics. He wanted to know if |
wasn't going to see the show and l told
him the condition of nay pockets. Pass
right in, Mr.. WISE he said, and l went.

THE EGGS THAT NEVER HATCH.

There's young man on the corner.
Filled with life and strength and hope,
Looking far beyond the present,
With the whole world in his scope,
He is grasping at tomorrow.
That phantom none can catch,
To-day is lost He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's an old man over yonder.
With a worn and weary face.
With searching. anxious features
And weak uncertain pace.
He is living in the future,
With no desire to catch
The Golden Now. He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's a world of men and women,
With their lifes work yet undOnc,
Who are sitting standing, moving
Beneath the same great SUM-
Ever eager for the future,
But not content to snatch
The Present They are waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.

4 Story Of Jay Gould.

At the risk of running reputation for
veracity, as yet in a fair state of repair, the
writer must recall an anecdOte of Jay
Gould. Mr. Gould's personal characters
tics, in the language of Wall street, ha,e G
been beared down and sold short until they
are on the verge Of bankruptcy and re.
ceiyership. He devours lambs and wolves,
regardless of hide and horns, but he is an
ideal man in his home and considerate
employer.
A favorle general officer of one of
Gould's Western roads was called to New
York few years ago, and jumped on by
the Little Wizard rs follows:
"rhey tell me you are broke and don't
pay your debts What is the mattef?"
The officer sputtercd and stsmmered.
at costs me great deal to live" he re
piled. "My family is large rents are
high, and doctors bills have been consider
able, but things are not as bad as you seem
to think"
"I'll see" said Gould, handing out a
check for $1,000. "Take this over to Con-
nor and tell him to put it in the market as
he sees fit. Come back here when he tells
you to-"
The man obeyed. 1t was an exciting
day in Wabash, and he returned to Gould
with $1,000.
$50 you've been speculating," exclaimed
Gould. "Don't do it again. That's what
ails you fellows who don't know what you
are about You had better go home now"
The fortunate specuator bade Gould
good by with profuse thanks and started.
Haven't you forgot something?" called
Gould.
81 don't know"
"Where's that thousand dollars lent you
this morning? It seems to be true that you
don't pay your debts. Remember, my boy,
the essential thing in business is to keep up
your credit"
The embarrassed officer paid the thou
sand dollars, and it has never been necessa-
ry to dun him for anything since.

| used to be a young editor once. My
duty was to carry the paper around to the
subscribers every Friday | was always
quick, and as | ran through the streets |
flung the papers in the yards. After got
back, the editor who owned the paper used
to say: "See herel Mr. Brown, Miss Jones,
Mrs Peters and the baker all say they got
no papers, and had to give them each a
copy" Then used to say;
"Why did you do that? Browns paper
is sticking up in his grape trellis. Miss
Jones paper fell under her front stoOp.-
Mrs. Peters lighted on top of her side
porch, and the bakers paper popped thro'
a hole in his cellar window. If those peo-
pie spent as much time looking for their pa.

"No political party, no religious sect, no

BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 31-Twentv-five
hundred union workingmen today at
tackled the railroad camp of Messrs.
Foley Bros. and Guthrie, OF st. Paul,
and took prisoners 100 railroad work
men from st. Paul. The road is a
branch of the Great Northern and the
contractors are only paying 81 per day,
While the union wages in Butte are So
for that kind of work. The trouble
has been pending week. but the con-
tractors would not consent to raise
wages to the union scale. By pre-
concerted plan, union men from all over
the city moved to the railroad camp this
afternoon and took all the men prison
ers without blow being struck or any
property being destroyed. The men
were taken to the city and given rooms
at hotel and were required to join the
Butte Workingmen's union. Contractor
Guthrie is very indignant and still de.
clares the road will go through at 50 per
day if he has to ask the governor to send
the state militia to protect his men. 1t
is likely that the leaders of the move
ment will be arrested before morning.

HE QUEERs KELGEsoN.
A Grain Man Jumps on the State
Commissioner.

FARGO, n. D., Jan. 31.-Charles E.
Morton, of the firm of Morton & Co., one
of the heaviest real estate dealers and
wheat buyers in the Northwest, replies
to Commissioner Helgeson's report on
the wheat crop in North Dakota,
now being published broadcast through
out the country, as follows:
Commissioner Helgeson makes the
whole crop of 1891 for North Dakota o.
100000 bushels. To arrive at this con-
clusion this distinguished statistician
averages the crop at twenty-three bush
els per acre, Of course, such a paper
is an absurdity upon its face, for no one
in n forth Dakota believes for a moment
that the average per acre was twenty
three bushels or twenty bushels,
or to exceed eighteen bushels per
acre. Then why should this man pro-
mulgate this statistical bosh? He either
had Some ulteriOr object in view, or he
is iAnocentIy being made the iEstru-
ment of some speculative gang that is
at this moment working to deeress the
value of our product. The government
report. which, ~ the way, is believed
30 be entirely too high, gives Dakota a
crop of 50, 10000 bushels grown on
2,921. PA acres, an average of less than
fifteen bushels per acre.

THE OVERHEAD WIRE.
Mr.. Kelly, OF Springfield, Has 9
Patent on 1t.

SPRINGFIELD. o., Jan. $50. S.
Kelly, the millionaire reaper and mower
manufacturer of this city, who has
obtained control of the patents covering
all electric street railways in which
the current is supplied by an over
head wire. will at once proceed to
collect royalties from the electric street
railway companies using that system,
or Institute infringement suits. Nine
years ago Charles Green. of Kalamazoo,
Mich, invented an electric street rail-
way. He tried to get a patent on it, but
failed through technicaIitieS, and pat
ents covering the ground of his inven-
tien were granted to others and began
to come into almost general use. Green
saw lie would be pOwerlesS to cope
with the great mon0pOliSts who were
using his invention and sold his claims to
Mr.. Kelly, who has pushed the claims
through to successful formulation in
legal battle lasting nine years. BY al
recent decision of the supreme court OF
the District of Columbia Green's claims
are sustained, which gives Kelly control
of the patent on the electric street rail-
way system III most general use all over,
the country. Kelly is preparing for. a
tremendous legal battle, which will.
rank with the Bell telephone suit or THE
Howe sewing machine case. There are
now 5000 electric cars in various parts
of the cOuntry operated under the SySn
tenn covered by these patents.
