How Millionaires Are Made.

The present site of Chicago was sold
by the Indians for three cents an acre.
Taking the most valuable corner lot in
the business part of the city as cri-
terion, the value has increased 130,
900, 900 per cent. 1880, when there
were fifty people scattered around Fort
Dearborn, quarter ofan acre of land
in what is known as the s'heart of
Chicago" could have been purchased
for $50.
In the past sixty-three years there
were only two years in which the city
did not show an increase in popula-
tion over the previous year. But
there were thirteen years during that
time when this quarter of an acre of
land showed a decrease in value, ac-
cording to the real estate appraise-
ment.
The greatest increase per cent. re-
corded was in 1885, when it rose in
value 400 per cent. over the value of
the previous year. With our latest
knowledge of real estate "booms'' it is
easy to picture the vision the owner
must have had of the future glory of
Chicago when he raised the price of
his corner lot from 5000 in 1884 to
$4,000 in 1885. To-day the lot is as
sessed at $1,000, 900. Real Estate

Two Bucks at One Shot.

Tim Hennessey, of Indian Creek,
who was in town last Saturday, tells
us that his twelve-year-o stepson,
Tommy Wallace, killed two deer the
Sunday before in a remarkable man
ner. The boy, while hunting in the
mountains near Indian Creek, shot a
large buck and killed it at the first
fire. Just as the slain deer fell another
buck presented itself right alongside
the dead one. Young Wallace, think
ing he had won laurels enough for a
boy in one day, concluded not to shoot
again. But when he started to get his
game what was his surprise to see this
one also fall to the ground, and when
he reached the spot he found two dead
deer. He had shot them both at the
first fire. The bullet, which went
through the neck of the first, had en-
tered the breast of the second deer. -

E;t,v Giants We'll Invested.

Economy is wealth; simple incidents have
established the destines of monarchies ana Oh
republics, monopolies and individuals.
Timely appliances will often avert great
evils; prompt action is frequently required
and only little of that to prevent serious
consequences.
Take "a cold," for example. If not checked
in time, like spark of fire, it may cause great
trouble, suffering and distress. To stop fire
in the beginning is comparatively an easy pro-
cess to that OF subduing an extensive confagra-
ton. So Railways Ready Relief taken in
time will prevent all of the serious conse-
quences arising from negecting a cold. For a
chill take from a half to q teaspoonful of
Ready Relief in half tumbler of water, drink
it down and repeat if necessary to warm up.
For pains in the chest, side or rack rub
freely with Ready Relief, applied by the hand,
till the skin comes to glow; cover we'll up
and keep warm; one or both of the above ap-
pliances will cure ninety-nine cases out OF
every one hundred.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of he ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by consttu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out ten are
caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred ID ,lars for any
case of ID afness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cur.1 by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Justice Among Crows.

A singular instance of justice among
crows has been related by M. Roux,
at meeting of the Societe Vaudoise
de Sciences Naturelles, which is
worthy of place in the Intelligence
of Animals" by Professor Romanes.
The observations were made by NJ.
Addor. notary of Sainte Croix, in
France, who saw about fifty crows in
solemn conclave in field. At given
signal they suddenly few up, croak-
ing with rage and wheeling around
some object, which ultimately fell to
the ground, and proved to be dying
crow. An examination showed that
the offender-for such he appears to
have been-had been killed by stroke
of the beak in the abdomen, and his
body bore the marks of about twenty
strokes.-London Globe.

Return Of the " Drummer"

No feature Of the financial stringency"
which has been prevalent without good
reason throughout the country has been
more painfully noted than the temporary
disappearance from their accustomed
places Of the commercial travellers. 1t
is not alone that the absence of the "trav-
cling man" has been regarded as bad
sight" but his personality and his pat
ronage have ben missed. The hotels and
the martS and the ways of trade have
seemed dull and silent without him. The
past void is more apparent than before,
now that the commercial traveller is COM
ing back again. and his voice Is heard in
the offices and corridors of the hotel,
and his bold signature again adorns the
register. Everybody is encouraged and
believes that the stormy sky Of business
is about 10 clear. The panic" or what
ever has been the difficulty, is disappear
ing. The drummer" appears like the
swallows-the "harbinger Of spring"
The belief in running confidence is well
founded. The thermometer and ba-
rometer are not more infallibe
indicators in their line than the
commercial traveller lis in his. He
is the advance agent the avaunt cour-
Ter Of business. He announces the com
mencing Of business; he makes business;
he is himself 'all business" The avoca-
ton OF the travelling man forms itself a
leading industry" a great business, en-
ploying thousands. affecting railroads.
hotels, places Of amusement. which pros
per or decline with It. When the travel
ing mans business lays down." other
lines assume q recumbent position.
1t is well. then, that the travellers have
begun TO travel again; their appearance
is a sure indication Of the revival Of
public confdence-that trust Of man In
man which is the basis Of business; of
civilization, even. The missionary Of
commerce. knows what he is about. He
never breaches without hearers. lie
never sows without good hope Of harvest.
Trained. alert. vigilant, intelligent, he is
a safe guide. for he follows hard on the
tail Of prosperity.-Kansas City Times.
