last he took them. He gave me six
shillings for each pair which l had
bought for two. 1t was q lucky day!
Next day | bought twenty pairs and
spent the afternoon and evening in
wearing them. And the day after that
| took them all to the various branches
of the pawn shop, after which | had
sufficient money to buy fifty pairs.
"Of course | could not wear them all,
and as l did not know soul in the
place except your old porter, I began
to make love to him, and supplied all
your bank officials with trousers that
is to say, made to each of them a
present of pair on the condition that
he must wear two pairs of my nev.edcs
a day. AS soon as the trousers began
to look worn pawned them-that is to
say, I caused them to be pawned by my
clerks. For my business went so well
that l could no longer manage it alone.
l had about sixty assistants, some of
whom were employed in walking about
the boulevards wearing new trousers.
Occasionally got them to wear three
or four pairs at a time in order to eX-
pedite business. Thus l soon got the
one hundred thousand pairs into my
hands. The great difficulty now arose
that the pawnshop, trimming over
with trousers. would take no more.
My men were even threatened to be
taken to the police. Some twenty
thousand pairs are now slumbering in
the cupboards of my aunt And the
provincial pawnshops are glutted in
the same way. for had finally to send
travellers into the provinces.
The net result of it all is that, after
ali expenses are paid l have made
psotlt of five shillings on aach pair of
trousers, or some twenty thousand
pounds on the lot. Besides this l am
taking two hundred pairs, the best OF
their kind, home to the south. They
will last me for life Finally, in order
to express my gratitude, I have pre-
scented generous presents of good warm
trousers to every kind of charitable in
stitution in the country. Every one of
your officials has had present of two
pairs, and you, my good friend, must
allow me- Che pulled out a parceD ito

specimen, this best pair in the collec-

And he unwrapped truly elegant
light gray pair of trousers, made after
the most fashionable English manner,
put 1t on the table in front of me, and
said: when you get a seat on the
parish council you must wear them at

embraced him in my delight.

The Judge Maintained Order.

''In Mississippi there used to be a
county where it was lmost impossible
to hold court. The lawless backwoods
element would come into the county

Caruthers, a prominent attorney OF
that state. Judge Clarke once went
there to hold court The first dav he

several pistol shots We're fred into the
court room. The next day as he
opened court he laid two large pistols
on the desk, and at the first sign of dis
turbance leveled the pistol at the man
and conducted him to jail. After that
there was no more disturbance, and
the better element of the community
was anxious that he should return the
next term. He declined, with sent

made the necessary speech to you, you

The porter grinned silly, and al

Diet an Essential Aid to Medicine in the
Treatment of Chronic Disaasea

Drs. Beekman & PiXley, of 81 West 122nd
St, New York City, whose special and COM
prehensive method of treating chronic dis
eases by correspondence has been set forth
in the two preceding issues of this paper,
carefully prepare as part of their treatment
such courses of diet as the varied conditions
of a patient and the ailment may require
Upon concluding the diagnosis of a case
and deciding the line of treatment to be ad-
ministered, a diet schedule is sent to the pa
tient, together with the medicines and in
structions, in which is indicated the forms
of food and drink best calculated to nourish
and build up the system by replacing mate
rial destroyed by the disease, and also to har-
monte with the medicine prescribed.
This is most important feature of their
professional care and is highly appreciated
as being Of itself productive of material
benefit.
An individual suffering from Chronic
rheumatism could never be cured by me-
dicinal treatment alone if he continued to
eat and drink certain things. The effect of
the most powerful remedy may be wholly
counteracted by thepatient's customary diet
and habits
The importance of experienced attention
to these matters as well as to the compound
ing of the medicines prescribed will there
fore be readily understood.
The long experience of Drs. Beekman &
PiXley enable them to determine the indi-
Vidual needs of patient from the reports
rendered upon their regular statement
blanks, and their acknowledged skill may
, thus be brought to bear upon sufferer from
! any disease in his own home however dis
tant it may be.
An individual statement blank, explaining
more fully their plan, will be mailed upon
! request.

shillings, and l noticed that he took
them out of the pocket of brand new

well cut pair, of discreetly dark gray

Are Farmers Prosperjne?

The Manchester tN. H) Union is try
ing TO make farmers believe they are
making money. 1t cites the testimony
of an Iowa farmer before a committee of
the senate Of his state. mot less than
% per cent of our farmers make a sue
cess Of farming said the Iowan
In the first place, it was probable that
the Iowa farmer was shooting far over
the mark With wheat lower than itever
has been before. with live stock at the
lowest possible notch, it cannot be true
that 80 per cent Of the farmers Of Alneu-
ca are making money. If it We're trne,
there would net be so many abandoned
farms in the older states. If it Is going
to be true in the immediate future, there
will be rush to these abandoned farms
amounting to a BOOM We hope it viii
be SO. certainly.
If it IS a fact that 90 per cent OF tina
farmers of Iowa are making money, they
are exceptional The reason that they
are thriving IS not found in the fact that
they are farming ut ALL but in the fact
that they are dairymen rather than
farmers. 1t is the COW that has brought
Iowa agriculturists out Of The land o.
bondage. Iowa IS one Of the three lead-
ing dairy states Of the Union, Her
cheese and creamery butter are known
the country over. Milk. butter and
cheese are about the only products that
have not fallen in price during the pres
ent depression. What dairying has done
for Iowa farmers it might do for farm
ers in other states.
