HE HAD FOUND IT.

 The young man and the young wom- an from half a mile beyond the timber line came hesitatingly into the office, and the young man inquired if they could look round bit and see how a newspaper was made. Of course, per mission was granted at once, and a guide was furnished to do the honors They went everywhere, and, on the principle of saying the best till the last, they wound up in the editorial rooms.
 About the first thing that attracted their attention in that department was a smooth-looking young fellow busily at work on typewriter. The young man left his fair companion in the the writer. He had no idea what it was, but in minute or two he noticed the written page as it slowly emerged from the roller, and he beckoned hasti- ly for the girl to come over, says the Detroit Free Press.
 II say, Maria," he said, as he caught her by the arm and dragged her closer, Hook at that, will you?"
 What is it?" she asked.
 You've heard tell of the machine poetry they have in the newspapers, haven't you?''
 She nodded.
 Well" he explained, that's what they make it on. You watch the young feller awhile and see how fast he can turn it out" and they stood by the busy writer so long that it almost gave him conniption fit, and then broke him all up by asking him if he couldn't give them sample to take home with them.

They Must Cure.

Medical skill is at rather low eb b throughout Russia, and not without cause. An American physician, tempt ed by the enormous fees so frequently paid by the nobility, went to St. Pe- tersburg and thin a year had lI- orative practice. Then he was called in to attend baron who was suffering from lung trouble, The doctor gave his patient the best of care and skill, but the baron died, and the widow promptly sued the doctor for damages for unskillful treatment. The unlucky American was sentenced to pay fine of one thousand roubles and undergo an imprisonment of thirty days. Under the circumstances it is not surprising that the physician left Russia as soon as he got out of jail, and nothing cou Id tempt him to return,

SCHEME DIDN'T WORK
An Attempt to Rob the Government
FOilGd by Accident.
FoRGER CAUGHT IN WASHINGTON
An Old Man Decided His Land to the
Government and then Repented
of His Act.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 2S.-James Elder,
an eccentric old man of Whatcom, Wash,
prior to March, 1891, made gift by deed
to the United States government of five
great tracts of land, the present value of
which is now estimated at 5000, 900. FL
der had three relatives for whom he
cared nothing. He decided the land to
the government with the request that it
be given to deserving immigrants from
the overcrowded East. No sooner had
Elder decided the lands than the three
distant relatives called on him. They
would take measures to have him declar-
ed insane unless he would recover the
property. Elder made request for his
deeds, but did not receive them. Then
his relatives concocted scheme to steal
the papers from the land Office in Wash
ington and substitute forged documents
in their stead. When this was done
Elder could put in plea that the deeds
by which his land was conveyed to the
government were forgeries. William
Jameson, of Port Townsend, Wash, was
the man assigned to make the substitu-
tion of the forged for the real deeds.
Jameson came to Washington with
strong letters OF introduction, and was
given the run of the land Office. As he
was leaving at night he said to Clerk
Weld: .By the way, was any one here
inquiring about old man Elders case? 1
heard a good deal of it out West" The
clerk replied NO. and went to the
shelf to take down the tin box containing
the records. As soon as Jameson saw
where the tin box was kept, he pleasant
ly said: "Oh, don't pull them down;
its late and I'm too tired to look at them
tonight. In fact, 1 don't think they will
help me in my case" Next day jane
son visited the land office and it is said
abstracted the five Elder deeds from the
box. He went Immediately to New York
went to lithographing shop and had
the five original deeds copied, even to
the Endorsements. With the plates he
went to printer and caused deeds ex-
actly like the originals to be made. BY
a queer coincidence Clerk Weld in the
land Office had an occasion the very next
day to look into the tin box which
had held the original deeds. The deeds
were gone. Jameson was afterward ar
rested by secret service men. His, trial
will take place in the United States dis
trict court in few days. Jameson was
admitted to bail in 81 800 and allowed to
return to Port Townsend. The object
of this was to enable the secret service
department to get evidence against the
conspirators. In this however they fail
ed except in the case of Elder, who,
Chief Drummond says, will turn states
evidence. Elder was arrested in What
com fortnight ago and taken to Wash
ington with Jomeson. They are now
out on bail.

Reward for detecting smuggling.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28.-The col
lector of the port has received two checks
from the treasury department at Wash
ington, one for 81 900, and the other for
5000 with instructions that they should
be paid over to the two men who gave
information which led to the seizure of
500 cans of unstamped opium on the
steamer Romulus, at Oakland wharf,
last September, and 400 tins at the
Southern Pacific railroad depot here last
November. Many other claims await
recognition by the treasury department,
and the governn ent has decided to set
tie all valid ones in the same manner,
believing this is to be the best means
of discouraging opium smuggling on this
coast.

That's good way to buy medicine,
but its pretty hard condition under

that the ordinary bit or miss medicine

The only remedy of its kind so re-
markable in its effects that it can be

there's nothing like it known to medical

Scrofulous affections, it is guaranteed in
