place of his original abode, The
starting ground of his quaint and
di.pensabse career, and indeed no
one seemed TO care, but every one
that came within his range was
impressed with his odd PERSONAL.
IT,. lie was tall and gauni and
grizzled ; his eyes were afflicted
with a walery sleepiness, but sud
denly became eager AT the sight Of
a dollar. He kept a sort of road.

Park, near the town OF Hot
Springs, and made his living by
administering 10 The thirst and
catering TO The amusement of the
wayfaring man, who, even though
a fool, often erred therein; erred,
| say, for the man who drank the
sour beer drawn by Old Steve
could not have stopped short of
SHINING against self. The amuse.
ment consisted of a black bear,
old, lazy ard lea.billen. The ami
NAL, advertised as of the most FL.
rlous disposition, was kept chained
to a tree IN a back lot ; and at eve.
ming, when the accomodalingtlI dusk
threw a hiding shade over The
bears most striking faults, thai is,
laziness and flea bites, old Steve
would announce to his guests that
he was now about to engage in The
dangerous feat of wrestling with
The rerocious monster OF the Mis-.
sissippi swamps. Those who knew
the trick drank their beer in I'M,

NOTHING But "ADS."

Above.

We commend the following
floating paragraph to both the ad.
verlisers and the readers OF the
DEMocRAT-STAR, for we believe
that both classes will lie repaid by
It's perusal:
I'VE sometimes hear The remark
that there is nothing much in n
newspaper but the advertisements.
There are few people who pause
TO consider what an important lac.
Tor hose same advertisements are.
They are the unerring indication
OF The excellence and importance
of a paper. Advertisers do not IN.
sert their announcements in a pa
per and pay fur them for pleasure
or for any philanthropic reason.
Neither do th,y care to reach the
class Of people who have no mon
ey with which 10 buy their wares.
Ergo, they will palronize The pc
riolical that has the largest circu.
latlOn among well to do people.
A paper to gain and retain such a
circulation must be right up with
The lines IN every respect. 1t
must possess literary merit, il
must give all the news both local
and general, in short, it must stand
well up towards the head of its
class, Tor people always desire The
best Of Everything Obtainable, and
if they cannot fluid 1t IN one news.

other. If you will study carefully
the newspaper that "contMns

"lhe plain reading matter does
not make SO grea, a showing as The

find that scattered around through
the pages of every paper are news
items and interesting information
that are worth many times more
than the amount you pay for The

and uninteresting things we are
wont to think them. Who is there
that has moi more than once

mitted.
Tankersley had been working for .
month at Carter & Mullaly's livery
stable, but on account of i'll
health, had been discouraged about
two weeks ago. Yesterday after
noon he started out to raise some
money, presumably being pretty
hard up. He stopped at Reuters
saloon and asked for blank check,
but was refused. He got one at
Wagner & ChabOt's and filled it out
in the name of Carter & Mullaly and
signed MIR. G. B. MulIaly's name to
1t, but not at all initiating the sig
nature of that member of the
| firm. This called for $2S, but
Wagner & Chabot would not cash IL.
Tankersly tried with equal i'll success
to pass the check GU Wilhelm &
Curry and offered it In payment for q
pair of horse clippers he had bought
on credit. He then offered it to the
second hand store proprietor ON
Alamo plaza and finally did get
it cashed by Mr.. Henry Boerner.
of Scholz's saloon. Mr.. BOerner
did not examine the paper closely,
from the fact that Carter Il Mullaly
always pay their men off in checks
and number of the men come to his
saloon and get the checks cashed.
He had cashed check for this man
before and knew that be had worked
at the stable and supposed he was
still working there.
Tankersley tried to pass another
check but failed and was nabbed by
Officer Seffel and taken to the police
court where "druDk" was charged
against him. Afterward the charges
