And He Continued to Wear the Hat

There is a man in Boston who is
far beyond the financial condition de-
nominated "well-to-do," but he has a
great fondness for an old soft hat,
and at his summer resort insists
upon wearing one. A certain young
lady undertook the liberty of taking
exception to this head-gear, and
asked him why he wore it Mr.. A
looked at her reproachfully. II
dress as well as | can afford to-" he
answered. The young lady did not
know his real financial status, and
was conscience-stricken. But in a
week or so she found it out, and de-
termined to be avenged. Her oppor-
tunity came after their return to
town. Mr.. A was to be her escort
to some function, and when she came
trailing down the stairway in a most
fetching evening-gown, he made
some remark. that gave her the long
desired opening. There was a touch
of triumph, mingled with reproach,
in her tone, as she answered: Il
dress as we'll as | can afford to- But
the triumph was of short duration,
for Mr. A only answered softly.

Much Made.

Money stringency is not the only cause
of hard times, and 1t takes very little mon
ey to make good deal of happiness, as
the following shows: Mr.. R. B. Kyle,
Tower Hill, AppOmattox County, Va,
writes that he was afflicted with rheuma-
tism for several years. and physicians
gave him no relief. Finally he was rubbed
all over with st. Jacobs Oil and it cured.
During his illness he had spasms and was
not expected to live. This points way to
many who think times hard, but who can
find an easy way out of their troubles.

"a man better have a live rattle
snake in his pocket than a counter
felt dollar carried as a pocket piece"
said Inspector Lawrence of the treas
ury department, to Minneapolis
Journal man when talking about the
carrying of coins or bills which one
knows to be counterfeit "a great
many men don't know the danger
they run in this thing" he said.
suppose, for instance, that a man
has a counterfeit dollar which he has
had for years, one that he has picked
up somewhere and carries as pocket
piece. He goes into a store one day
to get something or other and gets
a lot OF silver coin in change He
goes from the store say TO a saloon,
where he buys a drink, or to some
drug store to get something or other
it matters not where he goes pro-
vided there is one Of these smart"
young fellows behind the counter al
ways ready to take somebody up on
something or other.
Paying for his purchase with one
OF the dollars, the man behind the
bar, or the counter, as the case may
be, filings the dollar back with the
remark that it is counterfeit The
purchaser, somewhat abashed. and not
liking the cycling of the crowd around,
begins 70 make excuses to the effect
that he did not know that it was
counterfeit, and so on, and the clerk,
who is anxious to make a record as
a counterfeit detective, suddenly calls
in the police and the man is arrested
and searched. Ga his person is found
the other counterfeit dollar, and the
possession of two is prima facie evil
dence that he intended to pass both
OF them, and that man hasn't got
enough friends in the world to keep
him out of the penitentiary. True,
| it looks hard, but the man had no
! business carrying around a counter
felt coin for a pocketpiece or any
other reason. 1t is plain violation
OF the law to carry counterfeit money
about you, something which many
people do not realize.
Suppose happen to know that
man, cashier in one of the we'll
known banks of Minneapolis or st.
Paul for instance, has a 500 bill in
his possession. / 60 into that bank
and | call him by name and ask him
for that bill He says he hasn't got
it. But | rejoin, you did have
such a bill yesterday in your posses
siOn,' for | have the testimony of two
reputable men that they saw you
show it around to some parties. Now
want that bill; you have no business
with it. He demurs and makes
various excuses and does not give
me any satisfaction. What do you
suppose l do? go out and get a
search warrant and | 60 through
every dollar in that bank, dollar by
dollar, or bill by bill, until l find
that counterfeit $50 bill, and then |
confscate it There used to be no
law against this sort of thing, but
there is one now, and the public
generally ought to know the facts in
the case. And formerly it was not
an offense to make the dies which
are used in counterfeiting anybody
could make them and anybody could
have them in their possession so
long as they were not used, but that
has all been changed now"

THE breath of a chronic catarrh
patient is often so offensive that he
becomes an object of disgust. After a
time liberation sets in, the spongy
bones are attacked and frequently de-
StrOyed. A constant source of dis ON
fort is the dripping of the purulent
secretions into the throat, sometimes
producing inveterate bronchitis, which
is usually the exciting cause of pull
monary disease. The brilliant results

ignate Ely's Cream Balm as by far the
